Raw Blame History

2002-08-06 Han-Wen Nienhuys <hanwen@cs.uu.nl>
* scheme-memory.texi (Memory Blocks): add scm_calloc, scm_gc_calloc.
correct typos.
2002-08-05 Marius Vollmer <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
* intro.texi, srfi-modules.texi: Added (use-modules (ice-9
rdelim)) to an example that uses read-line. Thanks to Ralf
Mattes!
* scheme-memory.texi: Added an introductory blurb about GC that I
had lying around.
2002-08-02 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
* scheme-modules.texi: split "Scheme and modules" into
"provide and require" and "Environments". Mention R5RS
environments.
2002-07-16 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
* scheme-options.texi (Debugger options): New subsection
describing stack overflow and what to do about it.
2002-07-10 Gary Houston <ghouston@arglist.com>
* scheme-modules.texi (Compiled Code Modules): Removed description
of scm_register_module_xxx, which no longer exists. A description
of current techniques is needed.
2002-05-09 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
* scheme-data.texi (Numbers): Added description of the new values
+inf.0, -inf.0 and +nan.0.
* posix.texi (Runtime Environment): Added entries for 'setenv' and
'unsetenv'.
2002-04-28 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>
* gh.texi, data-rep.texi: Moved `@deftyp {Data type} SCM' line
from gh.texi to data-rep.texi. Both files already had similar
descriptions for SCM. Given that gh.texi is deprecated, looking
up `SCM' in the index should take one to the primary location
rather than deprecated section. Hence this change. Added
`@deftp' for scm_t_bits data type so that a proper index entry is
added for this. Thanks to Richard Y. Kim!
* data-rep.texi (Subrs): Changed scm_make_gsubr to
scm_c_define_gsubr. Thanks to Richard Y. Kim!

Ideas in Scheme' chapter is collected together to form a new part
