(scm_init_backtrace): Initialize `the-last-stack' to a fluid.
(scm_backtrace): `the-last-stack' is now a fluid.
* init.c (scm_boot_guile_1): Moved call to scm_init_backtrace
after scm_init_fluids.
Give more details about the deleted header files, and functions.
Clarify explanation of build-guile.
Make all the syscall changes subheadings of "Changes to Scheme
functions and syntax".
* stime.c (scm_times): new procedure.
* ioext.c (scm_fseek): if the first argument is a file descriptor
call lseek.
(scm_ftell): if the first argument is a file descriptor call lseek
(sic).
* filesys.h: prototypes for scm_open_fdes, scm_fsync.
* filesys.c (scm_chmod): if the first argument is a file descriptor,
call fchmod.
(scm_chown): if the first argument is a port or file descriptor,
call fchown.
(scm_truncate_file): new procedure.
Add DEFER/ALLOW INTS to a few other procedures.
(scm_fsync): new procedure.
(scm_open_fdes): new procedure.
(scm_open): use scm_open_fdes. If mode isn't specified, 666 will
now be used.
(scm_fcntl): the first argument can now be a file descriptor. The
third argument is now optional.
* posix.c (scm_execl, scm_execlp): make the filename argument
compulsory, since omitting it causes SEGV.
(scm_sync): return unspecified instead of #f.
(scm_execle): new procedure.
(environ_list_to_c): new procedure.
(scm_environ): use environ_list_to_c. disable interrupts.
(scm_convert_exec_args): take pos and subr arguments and
improve error checking.
* boot-9.scm: define tms accessors: clock, utime, stime, cutime,
cstime.
* ioext.c (scm_dup_to_fdes): renamed from scm_primitive_dup2.
Scheme name is now dup->fdes.
(scm_dup_to_fdes): make the second argument optional and
fold in the functionality of scm_primitive_dup.
(scm_primitive_dup): deleted.
* fports.h (SCM_P): prototypes for scm_setvbuf, scm_setfileno.
* fports.c (scm_setbuf0): don't disable the setbuf if MSDOS or
ultrix are defined. Use setvbuf instead of setbuf.
(scm_setvbuf): new procedure.
(scm_init_fports): intern _IOFBF, _IOLBF, _IONBF.
(scm_setfileno): moved from ioext.c.
(scm_fgets): cast SCM_STREAM to (FILE *), remove unused lp variable.
(top of file): Delete 25 lines of probably obsolete CPP hair for MSDOS.
* boot-9.scm (move->fdes, dup->port): use dup->fdes, not primitive-dup.
(dup->fdes): deleted, now done in C.
* _scm.h: if HAVE_RESTARTS is defined then don't use a SYSCALL
loop.
* posix.c (scm_uname): interpret only negative values as an error.
Solaris normally returns a positive value.
* script.c (scm_compile_shell_switches): if we are not going into
an interactive repl, set scm_mask_ints to zero so that asyncs can
run.
* simpos.c (scm_system): don't ignore/unignore signals around
the "system" call.
* posix.c (scm_open_pipe): don't ignore/unignore signals around
the "popen" call.
* init.c (scm_boot_guile_1): don't call scm_init_signals, it's
done in boot-9.scm instead.
* scmsigs.c, async.c: Major rewriting of signal handling code.
(scm_sigaction): new procedure.
(scm_sleep): don't wrap sleep in SCM_SYSCALL, it would mess up the
timing.
(scm_raise): return unspecified, throw error on failure.
* boot-9.scm: signal-handler, alarm-thunk: removed.
don't define ticks-interrupt etc.
top-repl: install signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS
during call to scm-style-repl.
* acconfig.h: mention HAVE_RESTARTS.
* configure.in: check for sigaction and restartable system calls.
* gh_init.c (gh_catch): fixed stupid bug, gh_catch() was not
returning anything.
* gh_data.c (gh_scm2newstr): Renamed gh_scm2str0() to
gh_scm2newstr(), and did away with the str0 convention (it doesn't
seem to belong in gh_).
(gh_scm2str): this function now copies Scheme data to a
pre-allocated C string.
