Andy Wingo 14aa25e410 remove debug frames
* libguile/debug.h (scm_t_debug_frame): Remove this type, as it was
  internal to the old evaluator.
  (SCM_EVALFRAME, SCM_APPLYFRAME, SCM_VOIDFRAME, SCM_MACROEXPF)
  (SCM_TAILREC, SCM_TRACED_FRAME, SCM_ARGS_READY, SCM_DOVERFLOW)
  (SCM_MAX_FRAME_SIZE, SCM_FRAMETYPE)
  (SCM_EVALFRAMEP, SCM_APPLYFRAMEP, SCM_VOIDFRAMEP, SCM_MACROEXPFP)
  (SCM_TAILRECP, SCM_TRACED_FRAME_P, SCM_ARGS_READY_P, SCM_OVERFLOWP)
  (SCM_SET_MACROEXP, SCM_SET_TAILREC, SCM_SET_TRACED_FRAME)
  (SCM_SET_ARGSREADY, SCM_SET_OVERFLOW)
  (SCM_CLEAR_MACROEXP, SCM_CLEAR_TRACED_FRAME, SCM_CLEAR_ARGSREADY):
  Remove macro accessors to scm_t_debug_frame.
  (SCM_DEBUGOBJP, SCM_DEBUGOBJ_FRAME, SCM_SET_DEBUGOBJ_FRAME):
  (scm_debug_object_p, scm_make_debugobj): Remove debugobj accessors.
  (scm_i_unmemoize_expr): Remove unused declaration.

* libguile/debug.c (scm_debug_options): No more max limit on frame
  sizes.
  (scm_start_stack): Just call out to scm_vm_call_with_new_stack.
  (scm_debug_object_p, scm_make_debugobj, scm_init_debug): No more
  debugobj smob type.

* libguile/deprecated.h:
* libguile/deprecated.c (scm_i_deprecated_last_debug_frame)
  (scm_last_debug_frame): Remove deprecated debug-frame bits.

* libguile/stacks.c (scm_make_stack): Rework this function and its
  dependents to only walk VM frames.
  (scm_stack_id): Call out to the holder of the VM frame in question,
  which should be a VM or a VM continuation, for the stack ID. Currently
  this bit is stubbed out.
  (scm_last_stack_frame): Removed. It seems this is mainly useful for a
  debugger, and we need to rewrite the debugger to work on the Scheme
  level.

* test-suite/tests/continuations.test ("continuations"): Remove test for
  last-stack-frame.

* libguile/continuations.h (struct scm_t_contregs):
* libguile/continuations.c (scm_make_continuation):
  (copy_stack_and_call, scm_i_with_continuation_barrier): No need to
  save and restore debug frames.

* libguile/threads.h (scm_i_thread): Don't track debug frames.
  (scm_i_last_debug_frame, scm_i_set_last_debug_frame): Remove macro
  accessors.

* libguile/threads.c (guilify_self_1): Don't track debug frames.

* libguile/throw.c: No need to track debug frames in a jmpbuf.

* libguile/vm-engine.c (vm_engine, VM_PUSH_DEBUG_FRAMES): Don't push
  debug frames.

* libguile/vm.h:
* libguile/vm.c (scm_vm_call_with_new_stack): New function. Currently
  stubbed out though.

This directory contains some tests for Guile, and some generic test
support code.

To run these tests, you will need a version of Guile more recent than
15 Feb 1999 --- the tests use the (ice-9 and-let*) and (ice-9
getopt-long) modules, which were added to Guile around then.

For information about how to run the test suite, read the usage
instructions in the comments at the top of the guile-test script.

You can reference the file `lib.scm' from your own code as the module
(test-suite lib); it also has comments at the top and before each
function explaining what's going on.

Please write more Guile tests, and send them to bug-guile@gnu.org.
We'll merge them into the distribution.  All test suites must be
licensed for our use under the GPL, but I don't think I'm going to
collect assignment papers for them.



Some test suite philosophy:

GDB has an extensive test suite --- around 6300 tests.  Every time the
test suite catches a bug, it's great.

GDB is so complicated that folks are often unable to get a solid
understanding of the code before making a change --- we just don't
have time.  You'll see people say things like, "Here's a fix for X; it
doesn't cause any regressions."  The subtext is, I made a change that
looks reasonable, and the test suite didn't complain, so it must be
okay.

I think this is terrible, because it suggests that the writer is using
the test suite as a substitute for having a rock-solid explanation of
why their changes are correct.  The problem is that any test suite is
woefully incomplete.  Diligent reasoning about code can catch corner
conditions or limitations that no test suite will ever find.



Jim's rule for test suites:

Every test suite failure should be a complete, mysterious surprise,
never a possibility you were prepared for.  Any other attitude
indicates that you're using the test suite as a crutch, which you need
only because your understanding is weak.
