As the Autoconf documentation says, "These days portable programs
[...] should not rely on `HAVE_RESTARTABLE_SYSCALLS', since nowadays
whether a system call is restartable is a dynamic issue, not a
configuration-time issue."
In other words, if we ever rely on HAVE_RESTARTABLE_SYSCALLS, we are
at the mercy of any code that Guile happens to be linked with, because
that code could install a signal handler without the SA_RESTART flag,
and then a Guile system call could unexpectedly return EINTR.
The readline part of this goes back to this problem report:
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/guile/2000-05/msg00177.html; and is an
excellent example of the above paragraph. It was noted during the
discussion that undefining HAVE_RESTARTABLE_SYSCALLS would fix the
problem, but that solution wasn't adopted - I guess because Guile was
still using cooperative threads then (not pthreads) and so there was a
significant concern (whether founded or not) that not using
restartable syscalls (where available) could lead to a loss of
performance.
Now Guile's default mode of operation is with pthreads, where we
already don't assume that HAVE_RESTARTABLE_SYSCALLS is reliable, so
there is no possible further performance loss. And in any case we
really have no choice, if we want correct operation.
Thanks to Sylvain Beucler for reporting this and suggesting the fix.
* configure.in (AC_SYS_RESTARTABLE_SYSCALLS): Removed.
* doc/ref/posix.texi (Signals): Remove statement that Guile always
sets SA_RESTART flag.
* guile-readline/configure.in (GUILE_SIGWINCH_SA_RESTART_CLEARED):
Remove this setting, together with its test code.
(HAVE_RL_PRE_INPUT_HOOK): Remove this setting and its code, as no
longer needed.
* guile-readline/readline.c (sigwinch_enable_restart): Removed.
(scm_init_readline): Remove setting of rl_pre_input_hook.
* libguile/_scm.h (SCM_SYSCALL): Remove the definition that relies on
HAVE_RESTARTABLE_SYSCALLS.
* libguile/scmsigs.c (scm_sigaction_for_thread): Don't always set the
SA_RESTART flag if available. Update docstring accordingly.
(scm_init_scmsigs): Remove code that sets SA_RESTART flag for all
signals.
* THANKS: Add Sylvain.
This patch uses the AC_LIB_LINKFLAGS macro, provided by Gnulib's
havelib module, to provide --with-gmp-prefix and
--with-readline-prefix configure options. Many thanks to Bruno Haible
for suggesting and explaining this to me.
* configure.in (top level): Add AC_LIB_LINKFLAGS(gmp).
* guile-readline/configure.in (AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR): Change to
../build-aux, to share the main build-aux directory and so avoid
having to distribute multiple copies of config.rpath.
(top level): Add AC_LIB_LINKFLAGS(readline).
* lib/Makefile.am, m4/gnulib-cache.m4: Regenerated by gnulib-tool for
new import of the `havelib' module.
* configure.in: No longer output the Makefile.ins.
* module/Makefile.am: Include the contents of ice-9/, srfi/, and oop/.
* module/ice-9/Makefile.am:
* module/ice-9/debugger/Makefile.am:
* module/ice-9/debugging/Makefile.am:
* module/oop/Makefile.am:
* module/oop/goops/Makefile.am:
* module/srfi/Makefile.am: Removed.
* meta/guile-tools: Changed to be a scheme script. Instead of looking for
executables in a "scripts dir", we just look for modules in (scripts),
and load the modules directly.
* module/Makefile.am:
* module/scripts/: Move the scripts into module/ so they can be compiled.
Rename scripts from `foo' to `foo.scm'.
* libguile/Makefile.am: Invoke the snarf->texi code via guile-tools.
* configure.in:
* .gitignore: Update for changes.
* configure.in:
* meta/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove guile-config.in bits.
* meta/guile-config: Reimplement to work on top of pkg-config. This lets
guile-config not be substed by configure.
* meta/uninstalled-env.in: Remove the path to guile-config, belatedly.
Set the pkg-config path correctly.
* configure.in (enable_deprecated): Set SCM_WARN_DEPRECATED_DEFAULT
even when --disable-deprecated is passed.
* libguile/deprecation.h: Declare deprecation-issuing methods even
if SCM_ENABLE_DEPRECATED is not set.
* libguile/deprecation.c: Ditto.
(scm_init_deprecation): Include full body even for unset
SCM_ENABLE_DEPRECATED.

* README: Some rewording.
* configure.in: Check for getrlimit and setrlimit.
* libguile/posix.h:
* libguile/posix.c: Add some getrlimit and setrlimit wrappers. They're
documented, but I suspect something else has to be done to get them
into the manual.
* README: Add more info about building against an uninstalled Guile.
* meta/: New directory. The proximate cause of its creation is that I
want to be able to build external packages against uninstalled Guile,
and to do that I need guile-tools in the PATH, but I don't want
$top_builddir/libtool in the path. But it seems like a good
reorganization, for things that are /about/ Guile: pkg-config files, m4
files, guile-config... then we also include uninstalled info: the
environment, the pre-inst-guile script, etc.
* meta/guile-1.8-uninstalled.pc.in: New pkg-config template. pkg-config
prefers -uninstalled pkg-config files, if they are in its path.
* meta/Makefile.am:
* meta/ChangeLog-2008:
* meta/gdb-uninstalled-guile.in:
* meta/guile-1.8.pc.in:
* meta/guile-config.in:
* meta/guile.m4:
* meta/guile-tools.in: Moved to meta/.
* meta/guile.in: This is the new name of pre-inst-guile.in.
* meta/uninstalled-env.in: And this, pre-inst-guile-env.in.
* Makefile.am:
* am/guilec:
* am/pre-inst-guile:
* check-guile.in:
* configure.in:
* doc/ref/Makefile.am:
* gc-benchmarks/run-benchmark.scm:
* test-suite/standalone/Makefile.am:
* test-suite/standalone/README:
* testsuite/Makefile.am: Adapt to meta/ change.
* am/guilec (.scm.go): Create the target's directory, in case
$(builddir) != $(srcdir).
* configure.in: Don't output any makefile under `module/system' or
`module/language'.
* module/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Remove `language' and `system'. Add `.'
to the front.
(modpath, SOURCES, SCHEME_LANG_SOURCES, ECMASCRIPT_LANG_SOURCES,
GHIL_LANG_SOURCES, GLIL_LANG_SOURCES, ASSEMBLY_LANG_SOURCES,
BYTECODE_LANG_SOURCES, OBJCODE_LANG_SOURCES, VALUE_LANG_SOURCES): New
variables, taken from former `Makefile.am' files in sub-directories.
* module/language/bytecode/Makefile.am:
* module/language/bytecode/spec.scm: Add another language to the stack,
bytecode. Bytecode is the u8vector form of object code..
* configure.in:
* module/language/Makefile.am:
* module/language/assembly/Makefile.am:
* test-suite/tests/asm-to-bytecode.test:
* module/language/assembly/spec.scm:
* module/language/assembly/compile-bytecode.scm: Update to include the
new pass.
* configure.in:
* module/language/Makefile.am:
* module/language/assembly/Makefile.am: Automakery.
* module/language/assembly.scm:
* module/language/assembly/spec.scm: Add a new language, which is oddly
even lower than GLIL. I got tired of GLIL's terrible
compile-objcode.scm, and wanted a cleaner intermediate format.
* module/language/glil/compile-assembly.scm: A purely-functional
assembler, that produces "assembly". Will document later.
* module/language/glil/spec.scm: Declare the compiler to assembly.
* module/system/base/language.scm (<language>): Rework so that instead of
hardcoding passes in the language, we define compilers that translate
from one language to another. Add `parser' to the language fields, a
bit of a hack but useful for languages with s-expression external
representations but with record internal representations.
(define-language, *compilation-cache*, invalidate-compilation-cache!)
(compute-compilation-order, lookup-compilation-order): Add an algorithm
that does a depth-first search for a translation path from a source
language to a target language, caching the result in a lookup table.
* module/language/scheme/spec.scm:
* module/language/ghil/spec.scm: Update to the new language format.
* module/language/glil/spec.scm: Add a language specification for GLIL,
with a compiler to objcode. Also there are parsers and printers, for
repl usage, but for some reason this doesn't work yet.
* module/language/objcode/spec.scm: Define a language specification for
object code. There is some sleight of hand here, in the "compiler" to
values; but there is method behind the madness, because this way we
higher levels can pass environments (a module + externals pair) to
objcode->program.
* module/language/value/spec.scm: Define a language specification for
values. There is something intellectually dishonest about this, but it
does serve its purpose as a foundation for the language hierarchy.
* configure.in:
* module/language/Makefile.am
* module/language/ghil/Makefile.am
* module/language/glil/Makefile.am
* module/language/objcode/Makefile.am
* module/language/value/Makefile.am:
Autotomfoolery for the ghil, glil, objcode, and value languages.
* module/language/scheme/translate.scm (translate): Import the bits that
understand `compile-time-environment' here, and pass on the relevant
portions of the environment to the next compiler pass.
* module/system/base/compile.scm (current-language): New procedure, refs
the current language fluid, or lazily sets it to scheme.
(call-once, call-with-output-file/atomic): Refactor these bits to use
with-throw-handler. No functional change.
(compile-file, compile-and-load, compile-passes, compile-fold)
(compile): Refactor the public interface of the compiler to be generic
and simple. Uses `lookup-compilation-order' to find a path from the
source language to the target language.
* module/system/base/syntax.scm (define-type): Adapt to changes in
define-record.
(define-record): Instead of expecting all slots in the first form,
expect them in the body, and let the first form hold the options.
* module/system/il/compile.scm (compile): Adapt to the compilation pass
API (three in and two out).
* module/system/il/ghil.scm (<ghil-var>, <ghil-env>)
(<ghil-toplevel-env>): Adapt to define-record changes.
* module/system/il/glil.scm (<glil-vars>): Adapt to define-record
changes.
(<glil>, print-glil): Add a GLIL record printer that uses unparse.
(parse-glil, unparse-glil): Update unparse (formerly known as pprint),
and write a parse function.
* module/system/repl/common.scm (<repl>): Adapt to define-record changes.
(repl-parse): New function, parses the read form using the current
language. Something of a hack.
(repl-compile): Adapt to changes in `compile'.
(repl-eval): Fix up the does-the-language-have-a-compiler check for
changes in <language>.
* module/system/repl/repl.scm (start-repl): Parse the form before eval.
* module/system/repl/command.scm (describe): Parse.
(compile): Be more generic.
(compile-file): Adapt to changes in compile-file.
(disassemble, time, profile, trace): Parse.
* module/system/vm/debug.scm:
* module/system/vm/assemble.scm: Adapt to define-record changes.
* module/language/scheme/translate.scm (receive): Fix an important bug
that gave `receive' letrec semantics instead of let semantics. Whoops!
Moved ice-9/ and oop/ under module/, with the idea being that we have
only scheme under module/. Adjusted configure.in and Makefile.am
appropriately. Put oop/ at the end of the compilation order.
