This is the Guile developer notice-board. -*- change-log -*-
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
CONTENTS: Notes of various kinds which the Guile developers want to
|
|
share among eachother, e. g., a memo about something which needs
|
|
fixing. Describing a certain problem here means that everyone is free
|
|
to fix it when and as he wishes. (Of course it can sometimes be suitable
|
|
to discuss it first.)
|
|
|
|
RULES: Entries should have a date and the name of the author. Entries
|
|
should be sufficiently detailed to enable other members of the team to
|
|
understand them, but they need not be comprehensible to people who
|
|
don't spend much time on Guile. This file should not go into
|
|
snapshots or distributions, but is a strictly internal document.
|
|
|
|
CONVENTIONS: ChangeLog format. (Reverse chronological order.)

|
* We need to discuss the long-term solution to Guile configuration
|
|
and customization.
|
|
|
|
* Some day when more important stuff (module system, threads, Tk
|
|
interface etc) has been completed, we should split up SCM's
|
|
ChangeLog among us, and go through all changes since the birth of
|
|
Guile. We might find many nice bug fixes and improvements...
|
|
|
|
* libguile/gc.c (scm_gc_sweep): The probability of collecting a
|
|
free cell should be very low (only occurring when a signal has
|
|
interrupted allocation). Nevertheless, the GC immediately exits
|
|
when the free cell test is enabled in the sweeper. Where does
|
|
this free cell come from?
|
|
|
|
* libguile/arbiters.c: Remove this file? When we've implemented
|
|
POSIX thread support, "arbiters" will be superfluous.
|
|

|
|
|
|
* libguile/unif.c: Introduce "fancy printing" for vectors. "Fancy
|
|
printing" is performed by the printer when the `fancyp' flag is
|
|
set in the print state (see print.h). One of its effects is that
|
|
sequences should be printed with maximum `length' objects. (This
|
|
is currently only used in backtraces and error messages).
|
|
This works for lists, but not yet for vectors and arrays.

|
|
|
|
* libguile/struct.c, libguile/struct.h, libguile/gc.c: Structs
|
|
need reimplementation. Both user interface and representation
|
|
need to be improved. E. g., the struct part of scm_gc_mark need
|
|
to be a lot more efficient. We should probably do this redesign
|
|
when designing(/porting) the object system.
|
|
|
|
* libguile/symbols.c (SCM_SYMBOL_HASH): This is slot is currently
|
|
not used for anything (except that it is used by symbol-hash). I
|
|
suppose it was originally intended to avoid doing multiple hashing
|
|
steps when handling symbols.
|
|
|
|
Mon Mar 3 21:36:58 1997 Mikael Djurfeldt <mdj@mdj.nada.kth.se>
|
|
|
|
* libguile/procprop.c: The current implementation of procedure
|
|
properties of closures uses a special property slot
|
|
(SCM_PROCPROPS (closure)), but primitive procedures don't have
|
|
such a slot. Setting or getting source properties for primitive
|
|
procedures currently involves making fake closures. These are
|
|
stored in an alist => finding the properties of a primitive
|
|
procedure is O (n primitive procedures with properties) which is
|
|
unacceptable.
