2011-11-16  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	Variable matches can span over function calls.
	Function calls following variables have searching semantics.

	* match.c (ml_specline_pos, search_form): New static functions.
	(h_var): Handle functions and regexes in a common way.

	* parser.y: Adjusted precedence of IDENT and ( so that
	@var@(func) are parsed into a single var element.

	* txr.1: Documented.

2011-11-15  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	* txr.vim: Update for new character constant syntax.

2011-11-15  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	* match.c (h_var): when manipulating specline, propagate the
	source locatio info.
	(v_skip): Don't use specline for trace messages, because
	it may be nil. Use the skip spec.

	* parser.h (rl): Declared.
	(rlcp): New inline function.

	* parser.y (rl): Static declaration removed. Function becomes
	extern.

	backbone.
	(collect_clause, COLL): Bugfix: car/cdr mixup in location info.
	(elem): Use rlcp function to abbreviate code.
	(o_elems_opt, o_elems_opt2, o_elem): Set location info.

2011-11-15  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	Changing read syntax for character literals, because we are going to
	need the single quote in the Lisp way for suppressing evaluation,
	eventually.

	I'm going with a Scheme-compatible syntax for character literals.
	It has a richer repertoire of standard character names than Common
	Lisp, and has a x convention for coding characters in hex.

	* lib.c (obj_print): Print characters in a Scheme-like way.

	* parser.h (end_of_char): New function declared.

	* parser.l (grammar): Implement rules for #\ syntax, with
	involving new HASH_BACKSLASH token.
	(end_of_regex): Enhancement: added check that end_of_regex is
	called in correct state, like the one in end_of_char.
	(end_of_char): New function.

	* parser.y (repeat_rep_helper, o_elems_transform, define_transform,
	lit_char_helper): Functions changed to static.
	(rl): Function moved down, past the grammar section.
	(HASH_BACKSLASH): New terminal symbol.
	(chrlit): Grammar redesigned.
	(char_from_name): New function.

	* txr.1: Character syntax documented.

2011-11-14  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	Bugfix: horizontal directives were being treated as vertical,
	and the trailing material silently ignored.
	For instance @(bind a 1)@(bind b 2). This was going to v_bind,
	v_bind does not check for the trailing material and doe snot
	call decline_s. The result was that b was not bound.
	Correct behavior is to process these binds in match_line.

	* match.c (match_line): Check if a directive IS found in the vertical
	table, and if so report a different error message. The fallback
	case is that there is no such function or directive.
	(v_next): Do not check for obsolete syntax any more. This case
	will not occur any more due to the following changes.
	(match_files): Do not defer opening the file if the data starts
	with an incorrectly written next directive.
	Do not look up and process a vertical directive or function
	call if it is followed by more material in the same line.
	Thus vertical directives can longer receive trailing material.
	This fixes the bug of horizontal directives being treated as
	vertical

2011-11-13  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	* debug.c (debug): Eliminated duplicate code.
	Implemented better way of printing character context.

2011-11-13  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	to set up a debug frame for backtracing.
	(match_line, match_files): Call debug_check to give debugger a chance
	to instrument call.
	(v_fun): Use debug_begin and debug_end macros to set up a debug frame
	for backtracing. Call debug_check to give debugger a chance to
	instrument call.

	* stream.c (struct strm_ops): New function pointer, flush.
	(stdio_maybe_write_error): Wrong word in error message corrected.
	(stdio_flush): New static function.

2011-11-12  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	* parser.y: Correctly record line number info for regex.

	(dest_bind, v_output, v_eof): Use debuglf instead of
	debugf, and sem_error instead of uw_throwf.
	(match_files): Likewise, and file_err is called
	with form.

2011-11-12  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	Eliminate line numbers from the abstract syntax
	tree representation of the TXR query.

	* match.c (debuglf, sem_error, file_err, eval_form): Line number argument replaced

	(LOG_MISMATCH, LOG_MATCH, h_var, h_skip, h_coll, h_parallel,
	match_line): Pass elem to debuglf instead of line number.
	as context.
	(h_trailer, h_eol): define elem for LOG_MISMATCH and LOG_MATCH macros.
	(h_fun): Pass elem variable to debuglf instead of line number.
	Body stored as a simple cons cell once again (no line number).

	sem_error instead of line number.
	(do_output): Adjusted for one less parameter in do_output_line.
	(mf_from_ml): Pass one less parameter to ml_all. Conversion of
	specline to spec is just a wrapping into a nested list,
	with no line number.
	(spec_bind): Linenumber variable parameter removed from macro.
	Definition simplified.
	(v_skip): Pass specline to debuglf instead of spec_linenum,
	which is no longer computed.
	(v_trailer): Use new definition of specline. Pass first_spec
	to sem_error instead of spec_linenum.
	Computation of ff_specline no longer has to skip line number.
	(v_freeform, v_block, v_accept_fail, v_next, v_parallel, v_gather,
	v_collect, v_merge, v_bind, hv_trampoline, v_cat, v_output,
	v_try, v_defex, v_throw, v_deffilter, v_filter, match_funcall): Use new
	definition of specline.  Pass first_spec to sem_error instead of

	* parser.h (source_loc): Declared.

	* parser.l (source_loc): New function.

	* parser.y:x (grammar): Removed line numbers from abstract sytnax
	tree. A few more places needed the annotation of forms with location
	info, and a couple of cases of the need to propagate the info was
	identified. Use extra cons cell as output of until_last to propagate
	the line number from the symbol to the use.

	* txr.c (remove_hash_bang_line): No longer has to look past
	line number.

2011-11-12  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	dependencies, and thus cannot regenerate dependencies.

2011-11-10  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	Bug #34799: errors in horizontal functions

	Features:

	New :append keyword in @(output) to append instead of overwriting.

	Variable contents can be treated as input sources using :string
	and :list keywords in @(next). Variables can be treated as output
	destinations using :into keyword in @(output).

	New @(set) directive for destructive assignment to a variable.

	New filters: :upcase and :downcase.

	@(bind) can now compare left and right objects through filters.

	* txr.1: Documented these new extensions to next and output.

2011-10-21  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	New features. Strling list output streams in stream
	library, allow output to be captured as a list of strings
	representing lines (in contrast to string streams which capture

2011-10-20  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	Bug #34609

	* match.c (v_block): Regression induced by rabid refactoring. Block

2011-10-19  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	Version 040

	Single unescaped space  behaves like @/ +/ regex.

	(dir_tables_init): New functions entered into hash table.

2011-10-19  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	* hash.c (ll_hash): Hashing of pointers should take into
	account alignment, otherwise only values divisible by the
	alignment occur. This patch takes into considerations that
	val values are pointers to object descriptors in a heap which
	are four words wide, and so most likely aligned to 16 byte
	boundaries (32 bit systems) or 32 byte boundaries (64 bit).
	We need to shift.

	(pipe_close): Do not test ermination status with WIFEXITED, etc.
	if there is no <sys/wait.h> header.

2011-10-16  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	* configure: reduced post-configure advice to just point
	to the INSTALL guide.

	* INSTALL: New file.

2011-10-16  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	* filter.c (trie_filter_string): Fix warning about uninitialized
	variable (not a bug, but compiler cannot prove that).

2011-10-15  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	Task #11425. Refactoring match_files to make it easier to
	break up into subfunctions. Arguments are packaged into a structure,
	so that subfunctions won't have to all have big argument lists.

	* match.c (h_directive_table, v_directive_table): New variables.
	(match_files_ctx): New structure.
	(mf_all, mf_args, mf_data, mf_spec, mf_spec_bindings): New functions.
	(match_files): Takes only one argument now, the context

	Recursive calls to match_files are handled by creating contexts
	as appropriate with the helper functions.
	The old local variable data is now part of the context.
	(syms_init, dir_tables_init): New functions.
	(match_init): Just calls syms_init and dir_tables_init.

2011-10-15  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	Fixed broken GC on x86_64 (Ubuntu 11, gcc 4.5.2). 
	The issues is that due to the aggressive function inlining
	in the gc module, the mark_mem_region function is not real
	subroutine. The address of its local variable &gc_stack_top
	ended up excluding the machine context saved by setjmp in
	the parent function. I.e. the buffer was not between the
	computed stack top and bottom. Thus registers were not being
	scanned for references to values. I added a little abstraction
	to the machine context in the process of fixing this.

	* gc.c (struct mach_context, mach_context_t): New type.
	(save_context): New macro.
	(mark): Takes two new arguments, pointer to the stack top and
	machine context. It scans the machine context explicitly rather
	than relying it to be on the stack, between the top and bottom.
	This context is in fact only object within the garbage collector part
	of the activation chain that we need to scan.
	(gc): Use new abstraction to save machine context. Local variable
	is used to derive the stack top here. The stack top is the top
	of the stack above the activation frames in the garbage collector
	itself. The gc has nothing on its stack that should be scanned,
	except for the machine context, which is now handled explicitly.

2011-10-15  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	* configure: POSIX Portability. Use = instead of ==
	in test expressions.  This was revealed by ubuntu's dash.

2011-10-13  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	* parser.y (elem): Amending previous change. A single space
	should only denote multiple spaces, not mixtures of spaces and
	tabs. WE have to be careful with tabs because they can be
	semantically different from spaces (e.g. file with tab delimited
	fields which can be blank, empty or have leading or trailing spaces.)

	* txr.1: Updated.

2011-10-13  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	* Makefile (%.ok: %.txr): Use unified diff for showing
	differences between expected and actual test output.

	* parser.l (yybadtoken): Handle new terminal symbol, SPACE.
	New rule for producing SPACE token out of an extent of
	tabs and spaces.

	* parser.y (SPACE): New terminal symbol.
	(o_var): New nonterminal.  I noticed that the var rule was
	being used for output elements, and the var rule refers to
	elem rather than o_elem. A new o_var rule is a simplified
	duplicate of var.
	(elem): Handle SPACE token. Transform to regex if it is
	a single space, otherwise to literal text.
	(o_elem): Handle SPACE token in output.

	* tests/001/query-2.txr: This query depends on matching
	single spaces and so needs to use escapes.

	* tests/001/query-4.txr, test/001/query-4.expected: New test
	case, based on query-2.txr.  It produces the same output,
	but is simpler thanks to the new semantics of space.

	* txr.1: Documented.

2011-10-12  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	Bug #34538

	* lib.h (wli): This macro now does the pointer displacement by 1.
	(auto_str, static_str): #if/#else/#endif gone. These functions just
	add the type tag. The + 1 logic was incorrect; it should have
	been + sizeof(wchar_t). But even that was not right because other
	code expects a wchli_t * to point to the first character,
	such as the string_out_put_char function.

2011-10-10  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	Improved support for broken unicode.
	Regex support for extra-large character sets not compiled in
	if wchar_t is not wide enough for it.
	The utf-8 properly throws exceptions when encountering characters
	that it cannot represent, instead of silently ignoring the
	situation and continuing with incorrectly computed data.

	* regex.c (FULL_UNICODE): New macro.
	(CHAR_SET_L3, CHAR_SET_L2_LO, CHAR_SET_L2_HI): Only defined
	if full unicde is available.
	(CHSET_XLARGE, cset_L3_t, struct xlarge_char_set,
	L2_full, L3_fill_range, L3_contains): Ditto.
	(unon char_set): Member x1 present only under FULL_UNICODE.
	(char_set_destroy, char_set_add, char_set_add_range,
	char_set_contains): CHSET_XLARGE cases only available on
	FULL_UNICODE.
	(char_set_compile): Default cst variable to CHSET_LARGE.

	* utf8.c (FULL_UNICODE): New macro.
	(conversion_error): New function.
	(utf8_from_uc): Throw error if not FULL_UNICODE and character is
	outside the BMP.
	(utf8_decode): Likewise.

2011-10-09  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	* HACKING: Documented portability hacks for narrow wchar_t.

2011-10-09  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	Version 039

	Ported to Cygwin.

	Horizontal modes for @(trailer), @(skip).

	New :greedy keyword in skip which can be given instead of max
	distance to give it longest match semantics.

	@(collect) and @(coll) support a new clause, @(last).

	The :times keyword in @(collect) and @(coll) introduced in the
	previous release has a different meaning. The keywords :mintimes
	and :maxtimes are added, and :maxtimes behaves like :times
	did previously.

	There is a :vars keyword in @(collect) and @(coll) to have
	some control over what bindings are collected, as well
	as error checking for missing bindings and defaulting behavior.

	New @(eol) directive for explicitly matching the end of
	the input or end of a line.

	New lexical syntax: @(...) and @abc is allowed within expressions.
	This produces a special structural syntax with no assigned meaning yet.

	Awful bug fixed in function calling: if a function was called with
	multiple unbound variables, and bindings were produced for them,
	only one variable was being propagated to the calling environment.

	Bugfixes to binding environment handling in the face of
	@(local)/@(forget) directive.

	Fix for the issue of unbound variables being silently ignored
	in some contexts, like quasiliterals. An exception is now thrown.

	Bugfix for an issue with consecutive variables in output.

	Bugfix for an issue with horizontal @(cases) not collecting
	bindings.

	Bugfix for an issue with @(until) inside @(coll) not seeing
	bindings from main clause.

	* txr.c (version): Bumped.

	* txr.1: Bumped version and set date.

	* configure (txr_ver): Bumped.

2011-10-09  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	One more swing at this with the axe.

	* lib.h (wini, wref): New macros.

	* stream.c (string_out_put_char): Rewritten with macros to eliminate
	preprocessor #if test.

2011-10-09  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	* lib.h (wli, lit_noex): We need null characters on both ends
	so that this hack is correct for null strings. When recovering
	the wchar_t pointer from a null literal object, we wil increment
	unconditionally, since it always points to a null character.
	We end up skipping past null terminator #1, but safely landing on #2.

2011-10-09  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	Following up to previous commit's TODO.

	* filter.c (struct filter_par): wchar_t becomes wchli_t.

	* lib.h (wchli_t): New type: an incomplete structure type,
	so that a pointer to this type is incompatible with anything else.
	(wli): Macro produces const wchli_t * pointer instead of
	const wchar_t *.
	(auto_str, static_str): Accept a const wchli_t * instead
	of const wchar_t *, making it impossible to misuse these
	functions by passing in a literal.

	* stream.c (string_out_put_char): These type changes showed
	this hack to have a bug. Confronted with the need to cast
	from const wchar_t * to const wchli_t *, it's obvious that
	the conversion has to be done properly with the + 1 in the
	one platform case, but not the other.

	* txr.c (version): Type changed to const wchli_t.

	* txr.h (version): Declaration updated.

2011-10-09  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	Ported to Cygwin.

	TODO: there should be some type safety with the new wli macro
	so that if it is forgotten, there will be a diagnostic.

	* configure (lit_align): New configuration variable
	and configuration test. Generates LIT_ALIGN in config.h.
	Fixed the integer-holds-pointer test for the different output
	from the nm program on Cygwin. The arrays become common symbols
	marked C which do not show an offset attribute, only size:
	one less column.

	* filter.c (to_html_table, from_html_table): wrap wide string
	literals with the wli macro. This must be done from now on for
	all literals and initializes of arrays that are going to be
	directly converted to type tagged val-s.

	* lib.h (wli): New macro.
	(auto_str, static_str, litptr, lit_noex): Handle wide literals on
	platforms where they are aligned to only two bytes, such that we don't
	have two bits in the pointer. We can still add our 11 bit type tag, but
	then when recovering the pointer to the data, we have may have
	to fix up the pointer. 

	* parser.l: Another portability issue here. Flex generates a scanner
	which has #include <unistd.h> in the middle, after the source file's
	own #includes which can introduce macros. On Cygwin, there is some
	hygiene problem whereby our "noreturn" macro causes the <unistd.h>
	header to generate bad syntax and fail to compile. Stupid Cygwin
	and even stupider flex! The workaround is to include <unistd.h>
	at the top in the flex source.

	* stream.c (string_out_put_char): This is one more place where
	the string literal handling hack spreads.

	* txr.c (version): Wrap string in wli.

2011-10-09  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	* dep.mk: Regenerated. Too easy to neglect this file.

2011-10-09  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	* match.c (vars_to_bindings): Regression fix: recent commit
	caused test failure. An empty list not treated as a valid collect
	variable list.

2011-10-09  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	* configure: Fixed indentation.

2011-10-08  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	* txr.1: Removed references to obsolete @(next) variant.

2011-10-08  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	* match.c (vars_to_bindings): New function.
	(match_line): keyword argument :vars implemented for coll.

	* txr.1: Documented :vars.

2011-10-08  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	* match.c (vars_k): New symbol variable.
	(match_files): Implemented :vars in collect.
	(match_init): New symbol variable initialized.

2011-10-08  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	* txr.1: Augment example of @/.*/ being used to skip to the
	end of the line with @(skip) which is now better style,
	since it avoids reaching for regexes.

2011-10-08  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	* match.c (match_line): Skip directive bugfix. If skip is the
	last item on the line, it must match the whole line by returning
	success.

2011-10-08  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	* match.c (mintimes_k, maxtimes_k): New keyword variables.
	(match_line): Implemented :mintimes and :maxtimes, changing
	the semantics of :times.
	(match_files): Likewise.
	(match_init): New keyword variables initialized.

	* txr.1: Updated.

2011-10-08  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	* HACKING: Formatting.

2011-10-07  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	* match.c (match_files): Fixed spectacular bug in function calling,
	dating back to before October 2009 when txr was put into git.
	Basically, unbound variables were not handled right after
	the function return, due to the increment step being wrongly
	written as ``piter = cdr(aiter)'' in the for loop that processes the
	ub_p_a_pairs. Evil cut and paste!

2011-10-07  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	* match.c (greedy_k): New keyword symbol variable.
	(match_line): Greedy skip implemented.
	(match_files): Likewise.
	(match_init): New keyword symbol variable initialized.

	* txr.1: Updated.

2011-10-07  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	* lib.c (eol_s): New symbol variable.
	(obj_init): New variable initialized.

	* lib.h (eol_s): Declared.

	* match.c (match_line): Implemented horizontal skip as and
	new eol directive.
	(match_lines): Vertical skip defers to horizontal skip if
	there is trailing material.

	* txr.1: Updated.

2011-10-07  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	* lib.c (flatten_helper): Function removed.
	(flatten): Recurse directly, using func_n1.

2011-10-07  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	* txr.1: fxed wrong word.

2011-10-06  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	Extending syntax to allow for @VAR and @(...) forms inside
	nested lists. This is in anticipation of future features.

	* lib.c (expr_s): New symbol variable.
	(obj_init): expr_s initialized.

	* lib.h (expr_s): Declared.

	* match.c (dest_bind): Now takes linenum. Tests for the meta-syntax
	denoted by the system symbols var_s and expr_s, and throws an
	error.
	(eval_form): Similar error checks added. Also, hack: do not add
	file and line number to an exception which begins with a '('
	character; just re-throw it. This suppresses duplicate line
	number addition when this throw occurs across some nestings.
	(match_files): Updated calls to dest_bind.

	* parser.l (yybadtoken): Handle new token kind, METAVAR and METAPAR.
	(grammar): Refactoring among patterns: TOK broken into
	SYM and NUM, NTOK introduced, unused NUM_END removed.
	Rule for @( producing METAPAR in nested state.

	* parser.y (METAVAR, METAPAR): New tokens.
	(meta_expr): New nonterminal.
	(expr): meta_expr and META_VAR productions handled.

2011-10-06  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	Renaming the currying combinators according to new scheme.

	* lib.c (bind2): Function renamed to curry_12_2.
	(bind2other): Function renamed to curry_12_1.
	(do_bind_2, do_bind2other): Helpers renamed likewise.
	(tree_find): Follows rename of bind2.

	* match.c (match_files): deffilter code follows bind2 rename
	to curry_12_2.

2011-10-06  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	* lib.c (funcall3, curry_123_2): New functions.
	(do_curry_123_2): New static function.

	* lib.h (funcall3, curry_123_2): Declared.

	* match.c (subst_vars): Bugfix: throw error on unbound variable instead
	of ignoring the situation. This bug caused unbound variables in
	quasiliterals to be silently ignored.
	(eval_form): Function changed to three argument form, so that
	it takes a line number for reporting errors. Restructured to catch
	the new unbound variable exception from subst_vars, and re-throw
	it with a line number. Also, throws exception now instead of returning
	nil if itself it detets an unbound variable. Uses of eval_form
	no longer have to test the return value for nil, but just assume
	it worked.
	(match_lines): Currying calls to eval form updated to use
	curry_123_2. Test of eval return value eliminated. In function
	calls, eval isn't used for reducing symbol arguments to values,
	because it now throws in the unbound case, and it's not worth
	setting up a catch for this. Instead, assoc is used directly.

2011-10-05  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	* match.c (match_files): In function calls, the deletion of
	the unbound variable from the argument list can be done
	with a destructive operation since that list is a copy.

2011-10-04  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	* LICENSE, Makefile, configure, filter.c, filter.h, gc.c, gc.h, hash.c,
	hash.h, lib.c, lib.h, match.c, match.h, parser.h, parser.l, parser.y,
	regex.c, regex.h, stream.c, stream.h, txr.1, txr.c, txr.h, unwind.c,
	unwind.h, utf8.c, utf8.h: Updated e-mail address.

2011-10-04  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	* match.c (match_line, match_files): Another correction to how bindings
	are handled in collect/coll. New bindings from the main clause and
	last clause must override old bindings. This is done by some
	additional set difference operations based on symbol identity.
	Otherwise it is possible to end up with multiple bindings for the
	same symbol, which is untidy. If the collect clause scrubs a variable
	with forget and re-binds it, then combining that environment 
	with the previous bindings will create a duplicate.
	Also, fixed a serious bug with the bindings from the last clause;
	the append was wrongly put into the loop that processes the collected
	lists.

2011-10-04  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	* lib.c (acons): New function.
	(set_diff): Optimize common case: list1 and list2
	are the same, or list2 is substructure of list1.
	Situations in which this won't be the case for variable bindings are
	rare.

	* lib.h (acons): Declared.

	* match.c (match_line): Use acons rather than acons_new, when binding
	variables that we know are new (the symbol is unbound). 
	When computing the set difference over bindings, use cons cell
	equality, rather than symbol equality. Symbol equality is wrong
	because a binding can be removed, and then a new binding can be
	introduced using the same symbol. This must be treated as
	a different binding.

2011-10-04  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	Bugfixes to the semantics of binding environments, which
	were broken in the face of deletions (local, forget).
	For some stupid reason, I had written a destructive routine for
	removing elements from an association list, and used it
	as the basis for the local and forget directives.

	* lib.c (eq_f, car_f): New variables.
	(identity_tramp, equal_tramp): Obsolete functions removed.
	(apply): Broken function disabled at run time.
	(funcall, funcall1, funcall2): Throw meaningful error instead
	of aborting.
	(alist_remove_test): New static function.
	(alist_remove, alist_remove1): Rewritten to be functional
	rather than destructive.
	(alist_nremove, alist_nremove1): Destructive functions,
	using previous implementations of alist and alist_nremove.
	(do_sort): Recurses directly rather than via sort. That was
	probably why this helper was introduced!
	(find, set_diff): New functions.
	(obj_init): gc-protect new variables eq_f and car_f, and initialize
	them. Initializations for equal_f and identity_f changed to
	use equal and identity directly, without the obsolete wrappers.

	* lib.h (eq_f, car_f, alist_nremove, alist_nremove1,
	find, set_diff): Declared.

	* match.c (match_line): Use set_diff to determine what bindings
	are new, rather than ldiff and ldiff-like logic which break when
	the new bindings do not share structure with the old.
	(match_files): Likewise.

2011-10-03  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	* txr.1: Starte dodcumenting the forgotten merge directive.

2011-10-03  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	Implemented new last clause for collect and coll.
	Bugfix in cases inside coll: was not collecting bindings.
	Bugfix for until inside coll: was not seeing bindings
	from main clause.

	* lib.c (ldiff): New function.

	* lib.h (ldiff): Declared.

	* match.c (match_line): Implemented last clause. Fixed cases
	handling by moving misplaced termination check.
	(match_files): Implemented last clause.

	* parser.y (until_last): New nonterminal symbol.
	(collect_clause): Refactored syntax to support until and last.
	(elem): Likewise.

	* txr.1: Updated.

2011-10-02  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	* parser.y (rep_elem): Bugfix: forgotten o_elems_transform on
	syntax tree of o_elems constituent, leading to problems with
	consecutive variables in a @(rep).

2011-10-02  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	* match.c (match_line): Handle trailer_s directive.
	(match_files): Remove check against trailer_s not having trailing
	material. If it doesn't, it's a vertical directive processed here,
	otherwise leave it alone so match_line processed it.

2011-10-02  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	Compiles as C++ again.

	* lib.h (cons_set): New macro.

	* match.c (match_line, match_files): In collect clause handlers,
	move variable declarations above goto, and initialize with
	cons_set, instead of declaring and initializing with cons_bind.
	This eliminates the stupid C++ error that goto skips a variable
	initialization (which happens even when it can be trivially
	proven that the has no next use at the goto site!)

2011-10-01  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	Version 038

	New eof directive.

	Fixes in skip directive to work very well with eof.

	Consecutive variable matching semantics improved; concept of double
	variable match introduced for unbound variable followed by
	regex variable.

	Directives collect and coll have keyword arguments for more control
	over their behavior.

	Parallel directives (all, some, none, ...) are available in
	horizontal mode.

	New choose directive for selecting one of numerous alternatives

	GC bugfix in new filtering code.

	The code has an issue compling with GNU C++ instead of C,
	which is something that is supported by this project.
	Not a release-blocking issue. Not easy to fix without
	restructuring some code.

	* txr.c (version): Bumped.

	* txr.1: Bumped version and set date.

	* configure (txr_ver): Bumped.

2011-10-01  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	Maintaining C++ compiling (except for two issues that will
	need another commit).

	* filter.c: Include "gc.h" for prototype of protect.
	(struct filter_pair): Use const wchar_t *, so we can assign
	literals.
	(html_hex_continue): Ditto.

	* lib.c (and): Function renamed to andf, since and is a C++
	operator.

	* lib.h (and): Declaration renamed.

	* match.c (match_files): Use of and updated to andf.

2011-10-01  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	HACKING: Clarified that --vg-debug is also needed to turn on on
	the Valgrind support at run-time, in addition to building it in.

2011-10-01  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	New test case, covering some filtering from HTML/XML.

	* Makefile: Defined TXR_ARGS for new test case.

	* tests/008/students.expected: New file.
	* tests/008/students.txr: New file.
	* tests/008/students.xml: New file.

2011-10-01  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	* filter.c (filters, filter_init): Serious gc bug fixed: neglected to
	inform the garbage collector about the filters global variable.
	Ouch!

2011-10-01  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	New test case under tests/008.

	* Makefile: Made previous TXR_ARGS for 008 specific
	to tokenizing test case, and introduced separate TXR_ARGS
	for this test case.

	* tests/008/configfile: New file.

	* tests/008/configfile.expected: New file.

	* tests/008/configfile.txr: New file.

2011-10-01  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	Tokenizing test case, exercising for @(coll :gap 0)
	and horizontal @(choose :shortest ...).

	* Makefile: Defined TXR_ARGS for tests/008 directory.

	* tests/008/data: New file.
	* tests/008/tokenize.expected: New file.
	* tests/008/tokenize.txr: New file.

2011-10-01  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	New test case, covering exception handling across nested
	function invocations.

	* Makefile (TEST): Test targets marked as .PHONY, because they are.

	* tests/007/except-1.expected: New file.
	* tests/007/except-1.txr: New file.

2011-10-01  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	* parser.y (all_clause, some_clause, none_clause, maybe_clause,
	cases_clause, choose_clause, elem): Regression bug fix: bad list calls
	in parser, lacking nao terminator.

2011-10-01  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	Regression bug fix: longest match variables broken by
	2011-09-28 commit which introduced the double var match.

	* match.c (match_line): Handle case where modifier is t.

	* parser.y (var_op): Produce modifir as (t) rather than t.

2011-10-01  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	* txr.1: Documented choose and horizontal mode for paralle
	constructs.

2011-10-01  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	New directive: choose.

	* match.c (choose_s, longest_k, shortest_k): New variables.
	(match_line, match_files): Introduced choose directive.
	(match_init): Initialize new variables.

	* match.h (choose_s): Declared.

	* parser.l (yybadtoken): Handle CHOOSE.
	(CHOOSE): Clause added for returning this token.

	* parser.y: Added #include "match.h".
	(CHOOSE): New token symbol.
	(choose_clause): New nonterminal symbol.
	(clause): choose_clause added.
	(all_clause, some_clause, none_clause,  maybe_clause,
	cases_clause): Abstract syntax tree tweaked.
	(choose_clause): New syntax.
	(elem): Abstract syntax trees tweaked for many clauses.
	New CHOOSE clauses.
	(out_clause): New error case for choose_clause.

2011-09-30  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	* HACKING: Updated with debugging hints.

2011-09-29  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	* txr.1: Clarified consecutive variables and documented double
	variable match.

2011-09-29  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	* parser.l: Implemented backslash continuations in SPECIAL
	state, regexes and string literals.

	* txr.1: Documented.

2011-09-29  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	* match.c (match_line): Implemented horizontal all, some,
	none, maybe and cases directives.
	(match_files): Recognize horizontal version of these directives
	by the presence of the extra symbol t and do not process.
	Also, bugfix in the all directive: not resetting the
	all_match flag when short circuiting out.
	* parser.y (clause_parts_h, additional_parts_h): New nonterminals.
	(elem): New clauses added.

2011-09-29  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	* match.c (chars_k): New variable.
	(match_line): Keyword arguments in coll implemented.
	(match_init): chars_k variable initialized.

	* parser.l (COLL): Lexical syntax changed to allow for
	argument material.

	* parser.y (elem): Coll syntax rewritten for arguments.

	* txr.1: Updated.

2011-09-28  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	* match.c (mingap_k, maxgap_k, gap_k, times_k, lines_k): New
	symbol variables.
	(match_lines): Keyword arguments in collect implemented.
	(match_init): New function.

	* match.h (match_init): Declared.

	* parser.l (COLLECT): Lexical syntax changed for COLLECT to
	allow for argument material.

	* parser.y (%union): obj renamed to val.
	(exprs_opt): New nonterminal.
	(collect_clause): Rewritten for arguments.

	* txr.c (main): Call to match_init introduced.

2011-09-28  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	* match.c (match_line): Bugfix in double var. Do not
	prepend the next_pat to the specline if it is nil.

2011-09-28  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	* match.c (match_line): Logic restructured to allow for
	regex variables which also have nested variables.
	Previously this code was assuming that the cases were
	mutually exclusive, and the parser happened to work that way.
	Also, added support for a "double var" match which occurs
	when an unbound variable is followed by a regex variable.
	This case should be allowed because it makes sense.
	It's similar to a variable followed by a regex, except
	that the regex is also a variable binding.

	* parser.y (o_elems_transform): New function.
	(o_elems_opt, o_elems_opt2, quasilit): Transform o_elems with new
	function. This is needed because subst_vars doesn't
	deal with the nested var syntax for consecutive variables.
	(var): New syntax case '{' IDENT exprs '}' elem. This
	allows consecutive variables to be nested in all cases.

2011-09-27  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	* parser.y ('{', '}'): Nope, still not right.
	These must have exactly the same precedence as
	IDENT for this to work right, of course.

2011-09-27  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	* parser.y ('{', '}'): Bugfix: precedence of these
	terminals was causing @foo@foo to be parsed differently
	from @foo@{foo}. We need consecutive variables to be
	specially folded in the syntax under a single var_s
	node.

2011-09-27  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	* match.c (match_files): One more fix to this, argh.
	The test for !data should be done after matching,
	before incrementing to the next line. Then it is a true
	bottom of the loop test. This commit allows
	@(skip)
	@first_line
	@(skip nil 3)
	@(eof)
	to correctly match the first line of the input, not
	the fourth one from the bottom, since the
	second skip has an unbounded range.

2011-09-27  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	* match.c (match_files): Another bugfix to skip.
	If a hard skip tries to go beyond EOF, then the query
	must fail. However, a skip to exactly EOF is fine.
	I.e. data can hit nil at the same time as the right
	number of skip iterations is performed.

2011-09-27  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	* match.c (match_files): Bugfix in skip directive.
	We should try the match at least once even if there is no data
	after a hard skip, so that the query has an opportunity
	to do an explicit match for no data, as with @(endp).
	This commit makes possible queries like:
	@fourth_line_from_bottom
	@(skip 1 3)
	@(eof)
	This query depends on @(skip 1 3) not failing when
	it runs out of data, because @(eof) checks for htis.

2011-09-27  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	* lib.c (eof_s): New symbol variable.
	(obj_init): New variable initialized.

	* lib.h (eof_s): Declared.

	* match.c (match_files): New @(eof) directive explicitly
	matches end of data.

	* txr.1: Updated.

2011-09-26  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	Version 037

	Short-circuiting behavior for @(all) and @(none).

	Obsolete forms of @(next) and @(output) syntax are gone.

	New filtering feature for substitutions in output.  Filtering to and
	from HTML built in, plus user-defined filtering with deffilter.

	Bugfixes: wrong error message in throw; lack of support for escaping
	backslashes in literals and regexes.

	* txr.c (version): Bumped to 037.

	* txr.1: Set version to 037 and bumped date.

	* configure: Bumped txr_ver to 037.

2011-09-26  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	Support &#NNNN; decimal escapes also.

	* filter.c (html_hex_continue): Bail with nil if no digits
	are collected. The &#x; syntax is not translated to anything.

	(html_hex_handler): Function renamed to html_numeric_handler.
	(filter_init): Change function-based trie node over to
	html_numeric_handler.

2011-09-26  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	Support &#xNNNN; hex escapes in html.  Bugfix in field formatting.

	(html_hex_continue, html_hex_handler): New functions.
	(filter_init): Add a function-based node to the from_html trie.

	* lib.c (chr): Function removed.
	(functionp) New function.

	* lib.h (chr): Declaration replaced with inline function.
	(functionp): Declared.

	* match.c (format_field): Bugfix: failed to apply filter
	that came in as an argument.

2011-09-26  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	Bugfixes: Consistent escaping in various literals. Double
	backslash codes for single backslash. Output clause can be empty.

	* parser.l (char_esc): Backslash handled.
	Use internal_error rather than abort.
	(REGCHAR, LITCHAR): Backslash added to lexical syntax.

	* parser.y (output_clause): Allow empty output clause.

2011-09-26  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	New feature: @(deffilter)

	Bugfix in @(throw) when non-symbol is thrown: exception message
	referred to the symbol throw rather than the erroneous object.

	* filter.c (build_filter_from_list, register_filter): New functions.

	* filter.h (register_filter): New function declared.

	* lib.c (deffilter_s): New variable defined.
	(chain): Function changed from single list argument to variable

	and store in filters hash.

2011-09-25  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	Filtering feature for variable substitution in output.

	* filter.c, filter.h: New files.

	(num_fast): Macro converted to inline function.
	(getplist, string_extend, cobjp): New functions declared.

	* match.c (match_line): Follows change of modifier s-exp syntax.
	(format_field): New parameter, filter.
	New modifier syntax parsed. Filter retrieved, and applied.

	Output directive refactored to parse keywords, extract the
	filter and pass down to do_output.

	* parser.y (regex): Generate (sys:regex regex syntax ...)
	instead of (regex syntax ...).
	(elem, expr): Updated w.r.t. regex syntax change.
	(var): Cases '{' IDENT regex '}' and '{' IDENT NUMBER '}'
	are removed. new syntax '{' IDENT exprs '}' to handle these

	* txr.1: Updated.

2011-09-23  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	regex.h, stream.c, stream.h, txr.1, txr.c, txr.h, unwind.c, unwind.h,
	utf8.c, utf8.h: Updated copyright year.

2011-09-23  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	* match.c, parser.y: Support for old output syntax removed.
	Leading :nothrow with trailing material is an error now.

	* txr.1: Updated. Made note of errors in pipes being asynchronous.

2011-09-23  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	* tests/002/query-1.txr: Old next syntax rewritten to new.

2011-09-23  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	* match.c (match_files): Some cleanup in preparation of new
	features. Support for obsolescent @(next) syntax is gone.

2011-09-23  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	Semantics tweak: short circuiting behavior for @(all) and @(none).

	* match.c (match_files): Added a couple of break statements.

	* txr.1: Updated.

2011-09-22  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	Version 036

	Extension to @(skip).

	* txr.c (version): Bumped to 036.

	* txr.1: Set version to 036.

	* configure: Bumped txr_ver to 036.

2011-09-22  Kaz Kylheku  <kaz@kylheku.com>

	Useful second argument in skip directive for skipping
	a minimum number of lines.

	* match.c (match_files): New behavior in skip_s case.

	* txr.1: Documented.

2010-10-05  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Version 035

	Fixes garbage-collection-related problem affecting @(freeform)
	that was revealed by "make tests" on x86-64 system, gcc 4.3.2.

	Fixes show-stopper stupidity, again: a query that matches 
	the end of data terminates successfully rather than failing.  This
	is because version 032 did not properly address the breakage
	introduced in the 2010-01-21 change to match.c involving the dataline
	variable. The "fix" only prevented the program from aborting in that
	situation.

	* txr.c (version): Bumped to 035.

	* txr.1: Set version to 035.

	* configure: Bumped txr_ver to 035.

2010-10-04  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	* match.c (match_files): Bugfix. A (sub)query that runs out of data
	lines to match must fail. Extra data lines relative to the spec
	are tolerated; extra spec lines unmet by data aren't.

2010-10-03  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	* lib.h (lazy_string): Fix incorrect comment.

	* lib.c (split_str, split_str_set): It is necessary to protect input
	parameters against GC, because we cache their internal pointers,
	after which we no longer refer to the objects themselves. Moreover,
	we perform object allocation, and then keep using the internal
	pointers.

2010-09-30  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	* txr.1: Fix formatting problem.

2010-03-01  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	* txr.1: Fix inaccuracies: files are not read into memory all at
	once, and a query doesn't execute if it had errors.

2010-02-28  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Version 034

	Patched up broken @(freeform) directive.

	* txr.c (version): Bumped to 034.

	* txr.1: Set version to 034.

	* configure: Bumped txr_ver to 034.

2010-02-28  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	New testcases for freeform.

	* tests/006/data: New UTF-8 file.

	* tests/006/freeform-1.txr: Likewise.

	* tests/006/freeform-1.expected: Likewise.

	* tests/006/freeform-2.txr: Likewise.

	* tests/006/freeform-2.expected: Likewise.

	* Makefile (TXR_ARGS): New target-specific assignment to set
	data for test case set 006.

2010-02-27  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	* lib.c (length_str_gt, length_str_ge, length_str_lt, length_str_le):
	Added missing support for literal string type.

2010-02-27  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	* lib.c (search_str): Bugfix for empty haystack case: checks for end
	of string must use postincrement on the index, otherwise the access
	goes past the null terminator.

2010-02-27  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	* match.c (match_lines): Bugfix in freeform directive.
	If the virtual line is partially matched, the remainder of
	the line is folded back into list form. In this case, the
	data line number must be incremented. Otherwise the calling
	context may conclude that no progress was made, and
	skip a line of input. I.e. the unmatched part of the input
	is a new line, even if there had originally
	been no line break at that point.

2010-02-27  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	* lib.h (split_str_sep): Declared.

	* lib.c (split_str_sep): New function. 
	(split_str): Semantics changed; the second argument
	is not a set of separator characters (like in split_str_sep)
	but rather a separator string. Fixed bug: if the input
	string is empty, the output list is empty. This caused
	infinite looping behavior in @(freeform).

2010-02-24  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	* lib.c (init_str): Bugfix: copy only len characters, not len + 1, so
	that we don't clobber the null terminator in the target string, or try
	read past the end of the source data.  This affects the @(freeform)
	directive.

2010-01-26  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Version 033

	Addressed exponential memory behaviors
	in derivative-based regex matching.

	* txr.c (version): Bumped to 033.

	* txr.1: Set version to 033.

	* configure: Bumped txr_ver to 033.

2010-01-26  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	hash.c (hash_process_weak): There is no point in fixing up
	the type codes of spuriously reached nodes; reached objects
	will not be removed by weak processing and so it's better
	to just detect those situations and short-circuit.

2010-01-26  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Optimization in derivative-based regex engine.
	Exponential memory consumption behavior was observed when
	matching the input aaaaaa....
	against the regex a?a?a?a?....aaaa....
	The fix is to eliminate common subexpressions
	from the derivative for the or operator.

	* lib.c (memqual, mapcon): New functions

	* lib.h (memqual, mapcon): Declared.

	* regex.c (flatten_or, unflatten_or,
	unique_first, reduce_or): New functions.
	(reg_derivative): Apply reduce_or
	to the constructed disjunction.

2010-01-25  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Fixing weak hash tables.

	* gc.c, gc.h (REACHABLE, FREE): Moved to header.

	* hash.c (hash_mark): Fix broken list push code.
	(has_process_weak): Defend against conservative
	garbage collector. We cannot trust that the
	conses which make up the chain backbone
	and hash entry pairs are unmarked, because the
	hash vectors might be reached through
	spurious references.

2010-01-25  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Version 032

	Fix showstopper stupidity.

	* match.c (match_files): Fix incorrect change involving dataline
	variable made on 2010-01-21; failure to check for end of data.

	* txr.c (version): Bumped to 032.

	* txr.1: Set version to 032.

	* configure: Bumped txr_ver to 032.

2010-01-25  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Version 031

	Addresses some spurious object retention problems related to the GC's
	conservative scan of the stack.

	* txr.c (version): Bumped to 031.

	* txr.1: Set version to 031.

	* configure: Bumped txr_ver to 031.

2010-01-25  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	* match.c (match_files): Workaround for GC issue
	discovered on Red Hat EL 4 with gcc 3.4.3.
	In the collect loop, set car(success) to nil.
	Somehow the generated code hangs on to the last
	matching position for a regex, preventing GC.

2010-01-24  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	* stream.c (vformat_num): Fix bad width calculation.

2010-01-21  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Fix for unbounded memory growth problem reproduced with GCC 4.4.1
	on 32 bit x86 Fedora. This happens because the lazy list variable
	``data'' in the match_files function is optimized to a register,
	but a stale value of that variable persists in the backing storage.

	* gc.h (gc_hint): New macro.
	(gc_hint_func): Declared.

	* gc.c (gc_hint_func): New function.

	* match.c (match_files): Use gc_hint on the data lazy list.

2010-01-21  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	* match.c (match_files): Reduce scope, and bogus use of, dataline
	variable.

2010-01-19  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Version 030

	Fixed grammar conflicts.

	R1~R2 syntax supported in regexes.

	* txr.c (version): Bumped to 030.

	* txr.1: Set version to 030.

	* configure: Bumped txr_ver to 030.

2010-01-19  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	* parser.y (regex): Getting rid of empty '/' '/' production
	again.
	(regexpr): Re-introducing empty production; this time using
	%prec LOW trick to give this interpretation the lowest
	possible precedence. Thus expressions like /&/ work again.
	(regbranch): New production to allow R1~R2 to be valid.

	* txr.1: Documented.

2010-01-19  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	* parser.l (grammar): The ^ character is no longer considered
	a special regex token, just a regular character.

	* parser.y (LOW): New phony terminal symbol, used as place holder
	for lowest precedence.
	(grammar): Fixed numerous conflicts in regex section by refactoring.
	The regex nonterminal no longer has an empty derivation.
	A regex character class no longer has an empty derivation; this is
	handled by special rules. Ambiguity around ^ is resolved; this is
	parsed as a regular character and specially recognized.
	Ambiguity between catenation of terms and postfix operators
	resolved in favor of shift by giving catenation low
	precedence using %prec LOW.

2010-01-18  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Version 029

	Performance optimizations of derivative-based regexes.

	New syntax: [] and [^].

	Saner semantics for % operator.

	* txr.c (version): Bumped to 029.

	* txr.1: Set version to 029.

	* configure: Bumped txr_ver to 029.

2010-01-18  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	* regex.c (reg_derivative_list, reg_derivative): Recognition
	of cases to reduce consing. In reg_derivative_list, we avoid
	consing the full or expression if either branch is t, and
	also save a cons when the first element has a null derivative.
	In reg_derivative the oneplus and zeroplus cases are split,
	since zeroplus can re-use the input expression, when it's
	just a one-character match, deriving nil.

2010-01-18  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Adjust semantics of non-greedy operator R%S, to avoid the broken
	case whereby R%S matches nothing at all when S is not empty
	but equivalent to empty, or more generally when S is nullable.
	A much nicer definition is ``the intersection of R* and
	the set of all strings that do not contain a non-empty substring
	that matches S, followed by S''.

	* regex.c (dv_compile_regex): Adjust syntactic sugar for the %
	operator, taking advantage of the reg_nullable function to keep the
	simpler syntactic sugar for cases where S is not nullable.

	* txr.1: Document accordingly.

2010-01-17  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	* parser.y (regterm, regclass): Relocate handling
	of empty [] into regterm, via empty derivation.

2010-01-16  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Regex syntactic tweaks: support the [] syntax
	to match no character and [^] as its complement,
	being synonymous with the wildcard dot.

	* parser.y (regterm): Added new productions.

	* txr.1: Documented.

2010-01-16  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Version 028.

	Code cleanup.

	New additional regex implementation using regex derivatives,
	providing new operators: regex complement, intersection,
	non-greedy match.

	Regex syntax bugfixes.

	* txr.c (version): Bumped to 028.

	* txr.1: Bumped version to 028.

	* configure: Bumped txr_ver to 028.

	* match.c (dest_bind): Remove spurious syntax.

2010-01-15  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	* txr.1: Get rid of parens from regex operator descriptions.
	Correct wrong text: all operators can take an empty regex.
	Clarify escaping rules within a character class.
	Describe Kleene and non-greedy behavior more accurately.

2010-01-15  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	* genman.txr, txr.1: Encode version differently; extract
	from text during HTML conversion.

2010-01-15  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Automate the maintenance of the HTML-ized man page.

	* Makefile (txr-manpage.html): New target, generated from txr.1
	man page.

	* genman.txr: New txr query to transform the output of man2html.

2010-01-15  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Implemented non-greedy operator.

	* lib.c (nongreedy_s): New symbol globals.
	(obj_init): New symbol interned.

	* lib.h (nongreedy_s): Declared.

	* parser.l (grammar): Support % as a regex operator.

	* parser.y (grammar): Define '%' nonterminal,
	on th esame precedence level as '*'.
	(regterm): Add the % expression as a term.
	(regchar): Recognize % as ordinary character in a character
	class. Also, bugfix: recognize & and ~ similarly.

	* regex.c (dv_compile_regex): Implement % as a syntactic sugar
	via an algebraic transformation to a more complex expression.
	(regex_requires_dv): A regex containing the % operator requires
	derivatives.

	* txr.1: Documented %; moved exotic regex notes to end of document.

2010-01-15  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	* regex.c (reg_derivative_list): Bugfix: wrong algebra,
	taking a double derivative of the first item.

2010-01-15  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	* txr.1: Fix accidental edit garbage.

2010-01-14  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	* txr.1: Fix accidental .b, which should have been .B.
	Revised description of regex operators. Added section
	on intersection and complement, which may not be familiar
	to regex users.

2010-01-14  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	* regex.c (reg_derivative): Bugfix: remove invalid
	algebraic reductions in the derivative for the or operator.

2010-01-13  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Bugfix: allow unescaped / to be used in regex character classes.

	To do this, we no longer make the lexer look for the terminating
	slash which ends the regex syntax. This is driven by the parser,
	which calls a special function in the lexer to indicate that
	the regex parsing is done.

	* parser.h (end_of_regex): New function declared.

	* parser.l (REGCLASS): Unused start condition removed.
	(grammar): A slash character in the REGEX start condition is now simply
	returned as an operator token; no popping of the state stack takes
	place. The scanner stays in REGEX mode.
	(end_of_regex): New function.

	* parser.y (regex): Call end_of_regex when a regex is successfully
	scanned through to terminating slash, or if a syntax error occurs.
	(regchar): Can derive a / terminal now, thus including it in a
	regex character class.

2010-01-13  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	* parser.y (precedence): bugfix: character classes like this [^*]
	being treated as a non-complemented set of two characters.

2010-01-13  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Dynamically determine which regex implementation to use:
	NFA or derivatives. The default behavior is NFA, with
	derivatives used if the regular expression contains
	uses of complement or intersection. The --dv-regex
	option forces derivatives always.

	* regex.c (opt_derivative_regex): Default value is 0 now.
	(regex_requires_dv): New function.
	(regex_compile): If regex_requires_dv function reports
	true, or if the opt_derivative_regex flag is true,
	treat the regex with the derivative-based implementation.

	* txr.c (txr_main): Implemented --dv-regex option
	to set the opt_derivative_regex flag.

2010-01-13  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	* lib.h (c_num): Remove redundant declaration.

2010-01-13  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Impelement derivative-based regular expressions.

	* lib.c (chset_s, compiled_regex_s): New symbol globals.
	(obj_init): New symbols interned.

	* lib.h (chest_s, compiled_regex_s): Declared.

	* match.c (match_line, match_files): Use regexp predicate
	function instead of typeof for detecting regex.

	* parser.y (regexpr, regbranch, regterm): Minor syntactic refactoring.

	* regex.h (union nfa_state, nfa_state_t, struct nfa, enum nfam_result,
	nfa_machine_t, nfa_compile_regex, nfa_free, nfa_run,
	nfa_machine_reset, nfa_machine_init, nfa_machine_cleanup,
	nfa_machine_feed, nfa_machine_match_span, regex_nfa): Declarations
	for internal material removed from header, some moved into regex.c.

	* regex.c: Includes txr.h now to get declaration of new option global.
	(union nfa_state, nfa_state_t, struct nfa,
	nfa_compile_regex, nfa_free, nfa_run, regex_nfa): Declarations
	moved from regex.h.
	(enum nfam_result, nfa_machine_reset, nfa_machine_init,
	nfa_machine_cleanup, nfa_machine_feed, nfa_machine_match_span):
	Renamed from nfam_* and nfa_machine_* to regm_* and regex_machine_*.
	Functions made static. Regex machine is now polymorphic: the
	machine is instantiated based on whether the regex is NFA or
	derivative type, and the behavior of the functions is type dependent.
	(nfa_machine_t): Renamed to regex_machine_t, now typedef name for union
	regex_machine.
	(struct dv_machine, union regex_machine): New types.
	(struct nfa_machine): New member is_nfa. A few members rearranged,
	so that union common members are at the start of the structure.
	(opt_derivative_regex): New global added.
	(char_set_compile, char_set_cobj_destroy): New function.
	(char_set_cobj_ops): New static structure.
	(nfa_compile_set): Refactored to use char_set_compile; made static.
	(nfa_compile_list): New function.
	(nfa_compile_regex): Refactored to follow new syntax from parser.y;
	made static.
	(nfa_free, nfa_run, regex_nfa): Made static.
	(dv_compile_regex, reg_nullable_list, reg_nullable,
	reg_derivative_list, reg_derivative, dv_run): New functions.
	(regex_compile): Can compile either kind of regex now.
	(search_regex, match_regex): Decoupled from dependency on NFA
	implementation.

	* txr.h (opt_derivative_regex): Declared.

	* dep.mk: Regenerated.

2010-01-06  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Remove incorrect implementation of extended
	regex operations (complement, intersection).
	The syntax extensions documentation are retained.

	* regex.c (struct any_char_set, struct small_char_set, struct
	displaced_char_set): refs field removed.
	(nfa_kind_t): Removed enum members nfa_super_accept,
	nfa_reject, nfa_compl_empty, nfa_compl_wild,
	nfa_compl_single, nfa_compl_set.
	(nfa_super_accept_state, nfa_is_accept_state): Removed.
	(char_set_create, char_set_destroy): Reverted.
	(char_set_clone): Removed.
	(nfa_state_empty_convert, nfa_state_merge): Reverted.
	(nfa_compl_state, nfa_compl): Removed.
	(nfa_compile_regex, nfa_all_states, nfa_closure, nfa_move): Reverted.

2010-01-06  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Some fine tuning in regex grammar.

	* parser.y (regex): Empty regex handled by
	allowing regex to generate empty, rather than
	a special case production for '/' '/'. Thus
	empty subexpressions are possible.
	(regbranch, regterm): Complement is handled
	in regbranch, so that it has lower precedence
	than aggregation.

2010-01-05  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Implemented the regular expression ~ and & operators.
	This turns out to be easy to do in NFA land.
	The complement of an NFA has exactly the same number
	and configuration of states and transitions, except
	that the states have an inverted meaning; and furthermore,
	failed character transitions are routed to an extra
	state (which in this impelmentation is permanently
	allocated and shared by all regexes). The regex &
	is implemented trivially using DeMorgan's.

	Also, bugfix: regular expressions like A|B|C are allowed
	now by the syntax, rather than constituting syntax error.
	Previously, this would have been entered as (A|B)|C.

	* lib.c (comp_s, and_s): New symbol globals.
	(obj_init): New symbols interned.

	* lib.h (comp_s, and_s): Declared.

	* parser.l (grammar): Provide new ~ and & tokens in REGEX state.

	* parser.y (regexpr): Constituents of '|' are regexprs,
	rather than regbranches (see bugfix note above).
	The '&' operator is added.
	(regterm): The '~' operator is added.

	* regex.c (struct any_char_set, struct small_char_set, struct
	displaced_char_set): refs field added.
	(nfa_kind_t): New enum members nfa_super_accept,
	nfa_reject, nfa_compl_empty, nfa_compl_wild,
	nfa_compl_single, nfa_compl_set.
	(nfa_super_accept_state): New static structure.
	(nfa_is_accept_state): New inline function.
	(char_set_create): Initialize reference count to 1.
	(char_set_destroy): Decrement refcount, free if zero.
	(char_set_clone): New function.
	(nfa_state_empty_convert, nfa_state_merge): Handle nfa_reject state,
	the complement of nfa_accept.
	(nfa_compl_state, nfa_compl): New functions.
	(nfa_compile_regex): Handle new operators.
	(nfa_all_states, nfa_closure): Handle new state types.
	(nfa_move): Handle new types according to special rules:
	the new complemented states that have character transitions have a next
	move to the super-accept state if they do not match the input
	character.
	
	* txr.1: Documented new regex operators.

2009-12-17  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	* lib.c (make_package, find_package): Eliminate declaration
	in the middle of statement block.

	* lib.h (TAG_MASK): Becomes type cnum rather than long.
	(nao): Based off 1 rather than -1 to avoid left shift of
	negative number.

2009-12-09  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	* parser.l (YYINPUT): Fix signed/unsigned comparison.

2009-12-09  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	* hash.c (sethash): New function.

	* hash.h (sethash): Declared.

	* lib.c (cobj_handle): New function.

	* lib.h (cobj_handle): Declared.

2009-12-08  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	All COBJ operations have default implementations now;
	no null pointer check over struct cobj_ops operations.

	New typechecking function for COBJ objects.

	* gc.c (finalize): Assume function pointer destroy
	is not null.
	(cobj_destroy_op): New function.
	(mark_obj): Assume function pointer mark is not null.
	(cobj_mark_op): New function.

	* hash.c (ll_hash): Assume function pointer hash
	is not null.
	(cobj_hash_op): New function.
	(hash_equal): Function removed.
	(hash_ops): Replaced hash_equal with cobj_equal_op.

	* lib.c (class_check, cobj_equal_op): New functions.

	* lib.h (cobj_equal_op, cobj_destroy_op, cobj_mark_op,
	cobj_hash_op): Declarations added.
	(system_package, user_package, class_check): Declaration added.

	* regex.c (regex_equal): Function removed.
	(regex_obj_ops): regex_equal replaced with cobj_equal_op.

	* stream.c (common_equal): Function removed.
	(stdio_ops, pipe_ops, string_in_ops, byte_in_ops,
	string_out_ops, dir_ops): common_equal replaced
	with cobj_equal_op, and all previously null
	function pointers populated with default functions.

2009-12-05  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	More void * to mem_t * conversion.

	* stream.c (stdio_put_char_callback, stdio_get_char_callback,
	stdio_put_string, stdio_put_char, stdio_snarf_line, stdio_get_char):
	Convert void * to mem_t *.

	* utf8.c (utf8_encode, utf8_decode): Convert void * to mem_t *.

	* utf8.h (utf8_encode, utf8_decode): Update declarations.

2009-12-04  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Eliminate the void * disease. Generic pointers are of mem_t *
	from now on, which is compatible with unsigned char *.
	No implicit conversion to or from this type, in C or C++.

	* hash.c (make_hash): Convert void * to mem_t *.

	* lib.c (oom_realloc, chk_malloc, chk_realloc, vec_set_fill,
	cobj, init): Convert to using mem_t *.

	* lib.h (mem_t): New typedef.
	(struct cobj): Convert void * to mem_t *.
	(oom_realloc, chk_malloc, chk_realloc, init): Declarations updated.

	* regex.c (regex_compile): Convert void * to mem_t *.

	* stream.c (snarf_line, string_out_put_string, make_stdio_stream,
	make_pipe_stream, make_string_input_stream,
	make_string_byte_input_stream, make_string_output_stream,
	get_string_from_stream): Convert void * to mem_t *.

	* txr.c (oom_realloc_handler): Convert void * to mem_t *.

2009-12-03  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	* gc.c (heap_min_bound, heap_max_bound): New static globals.
	(more): Update heap_min_bound and heap_max_bound.
	(in_heap): Do early rejection tests on the pointer. If it's
	not aligned, or it's completely outside of the bounding
	box of the heap area, short circuit to false.

2009-12-03  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Version 027.

	Code cleanup.
	
	gc-related bugfix.

	Improved file copying semantics of make install,
	and adherence for DESTDIR convention.

	* txr.c (version): Bumped to 027.

	* txr.1: Bumped version to 027.

	* configure: Bumped txr_ver to 027.

2009-12-03  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	* Makefile (CFLAGS): Better test for g++, when removing
	warning options not appropriate for g++. Sometimes
	g++ may be called something that dosn't end in g++,
	like g++4.

2009-12-03  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	* parser.l (YY_NO_UNPUT): Removed superfluous #define. This is not
	needed because suppressing generation of unput is requested via
	the %option. In scanners generated by the legacy version of
	flex, 2.5.4, still widely in use. this redundancy leads to
	a multiple #define YY_NO_UNPUT and a compiler warning.

2009-12-03  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Fix for failing test suite on MIPS machine, due to
	gc failing to mark a local variable in txr_main.

	* txr.c (txr_main): Changed from internal linkage to external.
	This prevents gcc -O2 from inlining txr_main into main.
	We need separate stack frames for main and txr_main,
	in order to be sure that when walking to the bottom of
	stack pointer, we visit all locals in main. This is the
	whole reason why there is a separate txr_main.
 
2009-12-02  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	* Makefile (tests): Don't depend on the executable. Otherwise,
	during make install-tests, if it doesn't exist in the
	install directory, a gcc compile command gets deposited
	into the run.sh generated script.
	(install-tests): Fixes to make this work when using
	a separate build directory. Split the cpio -p job
	into a cpio -i piping into cpio -o.

2009-12-02  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	* Makefile (install-tests): New target. Provides a way to make the
	test cases part of the installation, and a generated script to run the
	commands on the installation host.

2009-12-02  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Fix annoyances with dependency generation, such as picking up local
	files that are not in the project.

	* Makefile (depend): Rule passes object file names as arguments
	to depend.txr script.

	* depend.txr: Changed to take names of object files from command line,
	rather than scanning the directory for all .c files. Switched
	to new style next directives, using quasiliterals.

	* dep.mk: Regenerated.

2009-11-28  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	* Makefile (CFLAGS): If the compiler matches the pattern %g++,
	then remove some C-front-end-specific warnings from CFLAGS,
	which the g++ front end will complain about.

2009-11-28  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	* Makefile (CFLAGS): add -Dlint to CFLAGS when compiling y.tab.o.
	This suppresses some warnings from a byacc-generated parser,
	and gets rid of a useless static sccsid array. May help with
	Bison-generated parser also.

2009-11-28  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	* parser.l: Use flex options to suppress generation of the
	unused functons yyunput and yyinput, thus getting rid of
	some compiler diagnostics.

2009-11-28  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Code cleanup. All private functions static. Private stuff
	in regex module not exposed in header. Etc.

	* configure (diag_flags): Add -Wmissing-prototypes and
	-Wstrict-prototypes.

	* gc.c (more): Turn into prototyped definition with (void).

2009-11-28  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	* configure: Workaround in banner code for coreutils printf %.*s bug.

2009-11-27  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Switching to DESTDIR convention for install.
	Make install step does some things more correctly now,
	without relying on the install program.

	* configure: Help text doesn't refer to ``Makefile variables''
	but ``make variables'', or ``variables in config.make''.
	The install_prefix variable becomes DESTDIR now in
	config.make.

	* Make (INSTALL): New rule body macro. 
	(install): Uses of mkdir -p and cp switched to a call
	to the INSTALL macro.

2009-11-26  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Version 026.

	Fixed wchar_t build problem in parser.y.

	Improved configure script to auto-detect yacc program.
	Txr works with either Berkeley yacc (byacc) or Bison.

	Fixed some two uninitialized memory bugs.

	Valgrind API is now used to integrate GC memory manager
	with valgrind.

	The symbols nothrow and args in the next directive
	are now keyword symbols, written :nothrow and
	:args.  (Breaks backward compatibility; sorry!)

	* txr.c (version): Bumped to 026.

	* txr.1: Bumped version to 026.

	* configure: Bumped txr_ver to 026.

2009-11-26  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Not all systems have a yacc alias for the yacc program. 
	txr is known to work with two yacc implementations: GNU Bison
	and Berkeley yacc. Let's add some auto-detection for yacc.

	* Makefile: use "include" rather than "-include" for
	including config.make, so that make fails if the file does
	not exist.
	(conftest.yacc): New target. Just outputs the value of the
	variable expansion of $(YACC).

	* configure (yaccname): New variable.
	(gen_config_make): New function.
	Steps added to test for existence of various yaccs.

2009-11-25  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	* gc.c (mark_mem_region): Bugfix: do not mess with the valgrind
	accessibility of the heap object if valgrind debugging is not enabled.

2009-11-25  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	* parser.y (grammar): Fixes for bison 2.4.1. Remove superfluous action
	in chrlit.  Include <stdlib.h> for abort.

2009-11-25  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Refinements to Valgrind support.

	* gc.c (mark_mem_region): If a pointer from the stack is valid
	for the heap, it may point to a free object, which is marked
	in accessible. We must grant the garbage collector access
	to the object. If the object is free, close off access.
	This is not 100% correct, because if the object is accessible
	but undefined, then we end up flipping it to defined.
	(sweep): Before sweeping each heap, mark the entire block as defined.
	This is necessary because sweep accesses blocks, which may be free,
	and thus inaccessible. Then, during the sweep, any block
	which is already free must be marked inaccessible again.
	This means that the remaining blocks that are reachable become defined.
	Here that is okay, because gc has marked all those blocks. If any
	of them had uninitialized members, that would have been caught
	by valgrind during the marking phase, if not sooner.

2009-11-25  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	More Valgrind support. New option --vg-debug which turns on
	Valgrind protection of free blocks. This works independently
	of --gc-debug.

	* gc.c (opt_vg_debug): New conditionally defined global variable.
	(more): Mark entire heap of free blocks inaccessible, if
	vg debugging is enabled.
	(make_obj): If vg debugging enabled, mark returned block as accessible,
	but undefined, and take care to grant self temporary access while
	manipulating the free list.
	(finalize): Removed old debugging logic of not freeing strings
	and vectors during gc debug. If the null pointers are ever a problem
	during debugging, they can be checked inside obj_print, and
	turned into #<garbage ...> notation.
	(sweep): Switch to FIFO free block recycling if vg debugging is
	enabled, just like when gc debugging is enabled.
	Mark freed blocks as inaccessible, careful to grant self
	temporary access while manipulating the free list.

	* txr.c (txr_main): Parse the --vg-debug option.

	* txr.h (opt_vg_debug): Conditionally declared.

2009-11-25  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Fix a build breakage that may happen on some platforms.
	The parser.y file includes "utf8.h", which uses the the type wint_t.
	It also includes "lib.h" which uses "wchar_t". But it fails
	to include any headers which define these types.
	The generated y.tab.c picks up wchar_t by the Bison-inserted
	inclusion of <stdlib.h>, so that's how we got that. But wint_t does not
	come from any of the headers---if they are standard-conforming.

	* parser.y: Add inclusion of <stddef.h> and <wchar.h>.

2009-11-25  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	More valgrind integration. Vector objects keep displaced pointers
	to vector data; they point to element 0 which is actually the third
	element of the vector. If an object is only referenced by interior
	pointers, Valgrind reports it as possibly leaked. This change
	conditionally adds a pointer to the true start of the vector,
	if Valgrind support is enabled.

	* lib.h (struct vec): vec_true_start, new member.

	* lib.c (vector, vec_set_fill):  Maintain vec_true_start.

2009-11-25  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	First stab at Valgrind integration. First goal: eliminate false
	positives when gc is accessing uninitialized parts of the stack.

	* configure (valgrind): New variable. Defaults to false (do not
	build valgrind support). New check for whether the valgrind API
	is actually avilable if --valgrind is selected.
	(HAVE_VALGRIND): Conditionally added to config.h.

	* gc.c: Conditionally include valgrind memcheck.h header.
	(mark_mem_region): After pulling out a value from the stack,
	mark that copy as defined memory using VALGRIND_MAKE_MEM_DEFINED.
	(mark): Removed check for a registered root variable pointer
	being null; this cannot happen, unless someone registers a
	null pointer, or the stack is trashed. The comment about a
	possible null was misleading.

2009-11-24  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Fix uninitialized memory locations.

	* hash.c (make_hash): Uninitialized h->count member.

	* lib.c (mkustring): Preallocated string buffer to have its
	null terminator byte initialized, because the caller
	does not do so (e.g. see lit_har_helper in parser.y).
	The calling module is responsible for initializing all API-accessible
	parts of the string, but the null belongs to the string implementation.

2009-11-24  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Switching to keyword symbols for :args and :nothrow.

	* lib.c (args_s, nothrow_s): Renamed to args_k and nothrow_k.
	(flattn_s): Renamed to flatten_s.
	(obj_init): args_k and nothrow_k interned in keyword package.

	* lib.h (args_s, nothrow_s, flattn_s): Declarations updated.

	* match.c (match_files): Follow name changes.

	* tests/004/query1.txr: Changed nothrow to :nothrow.

	* txr.1: Documentation updated.

2009-11-24  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	/Now/ this can be released as 025.

	utf8.c (utf8_from_uc): Fix bug introduced several commits ago (porting
	to C++). Caught by regression test suite. Found using git bisect.

2009-11-24  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Version 025

	External changes:

	Flattening an empty list produces an empty list, not (()),
	which is a list containing an empty list.

	Tightened up semantics of bind, merge and other forms.
	Fixed false positives in binding.

	More bugfixes in the parser leading to garbage error messages.
	(Still no regression test cases for error cases, oops).

	Fixed crash in regexp function.

	Symbol packages added. Keyword symbols (symbols in keyword package)
	introduced.

	Clarified semantics that t, nil and keywords evaluate to themselves.

	Fixed bugs in the system for building in a separate directory.

	Configuration script now tests the compiler for sanity, and runs
	compiler-based tests to detects which integer type to use for casting
	an obj_t * value to a number, and what specifiers to use for
	inline functions.

	Internal changes:
	
	Macros replaced with inline functions.

	Uses of obj_t * replaced with val typedef everywhere.

	Exceptions occuring during early initialization no longer
	lead to an infinite recursion due to streams not working.

	The long type is no longer used, but a configured typedef.

	Configure script now spits out a "config.h" header that is
	widely included.

	Symbol globals renamed to _s naming scheme.

	Code made portable to C++. A new configure flag --ccname make it easier
	to switch compilers.

	* txr.c (version): Bumped to 025.

	* txr.1: Bumped version to 025.

	* configure: Bumped txr_ver to 025.

2009-11-24  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Auto-detect what specifiers to use for inline functions.
	Allow compiler command to be set independently of full path
	for easier compiler switching.

	* Makefile (conftest.o): Target removed. What this rule does
	is already an implicit rule; and nowhere else in the Makefile
	are there rules for .c -> .o.
	(conftest2): New target, for two-translation-unit config test program.
	(INLINE_FLAGS): Removed.

	* configure (ccname, inline): New variables.
	(inline_flags): Variable removed. INLINE_FLAGS not generated
	any more in config.make.  Added test for what inline specifiers to use,
	which is turned into #define INLINE ... in the config.h header.

	* lib.h: (tag, is_ptr, is_num, is_chr, is_lit, type, auto_str,
	static_str, litptr): Changed from inline to INLINE.

2009-11-24  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Changes to make the code portable to C++ compilers, which
	can be taken advantage of for better diagnostics.

	* gc.c (more, mark_obj, sweep, unmark): Obey stricter C++ rules
	with regard to enumerations. 
	(make_obj): Avoid using C++ keyword "try".

	* lib.c: Removed duplicate definitions of objects, found by C++.
	(chk_malloc, chk_realloc): Casts needed when converting from void *.
	(list): Discovered and fixed lack of va_end.
	(trim_str, acons_new_l): Avoid use of C++ keyword "new".
	(make_sym): Follow rename of struct member.

	* lib.h (struct sym): Renamed val member to value.
	(null): Added missing declaration.

	* match.c (enum fpip_close, struct fpip): Moved and named enum out of
	struct.

	* regex.c (L0_full): Cast added in signed/unsigned comparison.
	(L1_fill_range, L2_fill_range, L3_fill_range, char_set_create):
	Don't mark static blank structures const; then they need initializers
	in C++.
	(char_set_compl, char-set_destroy, char_set_contains, nfa_compile_set):
	Avoid using the C++ keyword "compl".

	* regex.h (struct any_char_set, struct small_char_set, struct
	displaced_char_set, struct large_char_set, struct xlarge_char_set):
	Renamed compl member to comp.

	* utf8.c (utf8_from_uc, ut8_decode): Obey stricter C++ rules
	with regard to enumerations.

2009-11-24  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Fixed broken yyerrorf. It was still taking char *, and passing
	that as an object to vformat, resulting in #<garbage: ...>
	output.

	* parser.h (yybadtoken): Declaration updated.

	* parser.l (yybadtoken): Redefined to take val argument.
	The tok stays as int; this is closely coupled to yacc,
	so why bother with num().

	* parser.y (grammar): Fix occurences of yybadtoken to pass
	proper literal objects using the lit macro, or nil in
	the one case when there is no context.

2009-11-24  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Renaming global variables that denote symbols, such that they
	have a _s suffix.

	* lib.c (cons_t, str_t, chr_t, num_t, sym_t, pkg_t, fun_t, vec_t,
	stream_t, hash_t, lcons_t, lstr_t, cobj_t var, regex, set, cset, wild,

	renamed to cons_s, str_s, chr_s, num_s, sym_s, pkg_s, fun_s, vec_s, t,
	cons_s, str_s, chr_s, num_s, sym_s, pkg_s, fun_s, vec_s, stream_s,

	internal_error_s, numeric_error_s, range_error_s, query_error_s,
	file_error_s, process_error_s,
	(code2type, typeof, make_package, intern, obj_init): Symbols
	references follow rename.

	* lib.h (cons_t, str_t, chr_t, num_t, sym_t, pkg_t, fun_t, vec_t,
	stream_t, hash_t, lcons_t, lstr_t, cobj_t var, regex, set, cset, wild,

	nothrow, throw, defex error, type_error, internal_err, numeric_err,
	range_err query_error, file_error, process_error): Declarations
	updated.

	* hash.c (make_hash): Symbol references follow rename.

	* match.c (sem_error, file_err, dump_var, match_line, subst_vars,
	eval_form, complex_stream, extract_vars, do_output_line, do_output,
	match_files): Likewise.

	* parser.y (grammar, repeat_rep_helper, define_transform): Likewise.

	* regex.c (nfa_compile_set, nf_compile_regex, regex_compile,
	regexp, regex_nfa): Likewise.

	* stream.c (stdio_maybe_read_error, stdio_maybe_write_error,
	stdio_close, pipe_close, make_stdio_stream, make_pipe_stream,
	make_string_input_stream, make_string_byte_input_stream,
	make_string_output_stream, get_string_from_stream, make_dir_stream,
	close_stream, get_line, get_char, get_byte, vformat, format,
	put_string, put_char): Likewise.

	* txr.c (txr_main): Likewise.

	* unwind.c (uw_throw,  uw_errorf, type_mismatch, uw_register_subtype,
	uw_init): Likewise.

	* unwind.h (internal_error, numeric_assert, range_bug_unless);
	Likewise.

2009-11-23  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	* configure (platform_flags, remove_flags): New config variables.

	* Makefile (CFLAGS): Take into account new flags.

2009-11-23  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Follow up on 64 bit compilation warnings.

	* lib.c (chr, chrp): Do not convert directly between wchar_t and
	the pointer type; go through cnum intermediate value.

	* stream.c (vformat): Fix bad cast from pointer to int; this was
	missed in the conversion to cnum because it should have been a
	cast to long originally.

2009-11-23  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	* Makefile (conftest.o): revert change that took CFLAGS from
	this target.

2009-11-23  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	* configure: Don't rely on higher precision arithmetic from the build
	machine's shell. POSIX requires shell arithmetic to be only signed
	long. We can't compute the INT_PTR_MAX constant in the shell, but
	rather generate a constant C expression to compute it.

2009-11-23  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Reporting of compile errors during configuration for easier
	configure debugging.

	* Makefile (conftest): Pass all of the CFLAGS when building
	conftest. This way bad compiler options are caught
	right in the basic compiler sanity test.

	* configure: Compiler jobs are redirected to temporary error
	file conftest.err which is dumped if there is a failure.
	Parting text is improved: the user should not blindly
	trust the success of the configuration but check its sanity.

2009-11-23  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	* configure: Bugfix in parsing configuration variables
	which contain the = character.

	* Makefile (conftest.o): Pass full CFLAGS to configuration test
	builds. If some flags don't work with the compiler, this should
	be caught.

2009-11-23  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	* Makefile (CFLAGS): Added -I. so current directory is first
	in the include search path. This is needed for finding
	generated header files, when building in a separate directory.

2009-11-23  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	* lib.c (chk_malloc, chk_realloc): Fix diagnosable conversion,
	caught by gcc 4.1.1.

2009-11-23  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	* configure (cross): Print out value of $cross in --help.

	* depend.txr: Add "config.h" to list of headers that are not
	prefixed with $(top_srcdir).

	* dep.mk: Regenerated.

2009-11-23  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Improving portability. It is no longer assumed that pointers
	can be converted to a type long and vice versa. The configure
	script tries to detect the appropriate type to use. Also,
	some run-time checking is performed in the streams module
	to detect which conversions specifier strings to use for
	printing numbers.

	* Makefile (conftest, conftest.o, conftest.syms): New targets.
	Used by the configure script. 

	* configure (intptr, nm): New configuration variables.
	Generating config.make is no longer the last step; compiler tests are
	performed after config.make is set up, so that rules in the Makefile
	can be used for doing the compiling. (This is the cleanest way to do
	it, since the paths to the tools may contain Make variable expansion
	syntax).  New steps are added to try to detect whether the compiler has
	a wider integer type than the c89 long, and which of the available
	types (including, potentially, the extra wide type) is suitable for
	holding a pointer. Results are generated into a header config.h.

	* dep.mk: Regenerated.

	* lib.h (NUM_MAX, NUM_MIN): Now derived from INT_PTR_MAX and
	INT_PTR_MIN macros, which come from config.h.
	(cnum): New typedef name.
	(cobj ops, tag, auto_str, static_str, litptr, lit_noex):
	Changed long to cnum.
	(num, c_num): Declaration updated.

	* lib.c (equal, length, num, c_num, plus, minus, neg, search_str,
	cat_str, vector, vec_set_fill, obj_print, obj_pprint): Changed
	long to cnum.

	* gc.c (mark_obj): Changed long to cnum.

	* hash.c (stuct hash, ll_hash, hash_mark, hash_grow,
	hash_process_weak): Changed long to cnum.

	* match.c (complex_open, do_output_line, do_output, match_files):
	Changed long to cnum.

	* parser.h (lineno): Declaration updated.

	* parser.l (lineno): Redefined as cnum.
	(grammar): Changed long to cnum.

	* parser.y (%union/yystype): num member changed to cnum.
	of config.h added.

	* regex.c (nfa_run, nfa_machine_match_span, search_regex):
	Changed long to cnum.

	* regex.h (struct nfa_machine): Members last_accept_pos and count
	changed to cnum.
	(nfa_run, nfa_machine_match_span): Declarations updated.

	* stream.c (struct fmt): New type.
	(fmt_tab): New static array.
	(num_fmt): New static pointer.
	(detect_format_string): New function.
	(vformat): Changed long to cnum. Formatting of numbers uses
	num_fmt.
	(stream_init): Call detect_format_string.

	* txr.c, unwind.c, utf8.c: include config.h.

	* unwind.h (internal_error): Local declaration of num updated.

2009-11-21  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Introducing symbol packages. Internal symbols are now in
	a system package instead of being hacked with the $ prefix.
	Keyword symbols are provided. In the matcher, evaluation
	is tightened up. Keywords, nil and t are not bindeable, and
	errors are thrown if attempts are made to bind them.
	Destructuring in dest_bind is strict in the number of items.
	String streams are exploited to print bindings to objects
	that are not strings or characters. Numerous bugfixes.

	* lib.h (enum type, type_t): new member: PKG.
	(struct stym): New member: package.
	(struct package): New type.
	(union obj, obj_t): New member pk.
	(interned_syms): Declaration removed.
	(keyword_package, pkg_t): Declared.
	(intern, acons_new_l): Declarations updated.
	(find_package, symbol_package, keywordp): Declared.

	* lib.c (interned_syms): Definition removed.
	(packages, pkg_t, system_package, keyword_package, user_package): New
	global variables.
	(code2type, equal, obj_pprint): Handle PKG case.
	(symbol_package, make_package, find_package, keywordp): New functions.
	(make_sym): Initialize package field of symbol.
	(intern): Takes package argument. Rewritten using packages,
	which use hash tables to store symbols.
	(acons_new_l): Takes extra pointer argument to return an extra
	value.
	(obj_init): Updated to handle packages. The orders of some
	initializations have to change. The way nil is added as a symbol is
	quite different, and a special hack for the symbol t is used.
	Most symbols go into the user_package, but symbols that were
	previously namespaced with $ go to the system package.
	(obj_print): SYM cases now considers the packge of a symbol.
	Symbols in the user package are printed as before.
	Symbols with no package are printed using #: notation;
	keywords with : notation; and all others with their package prefix.
	PKG case is handled.

	* gc.c (finalize): Handle PKG case.
	(mark_obj): For SYM, mark the new package member. Handle PKG case.

	* hash.h (gethash_l): Declaration updated.

	* hash.c (ll_hash): Handle PKG case.
	(gethash_l): Extra argument added to distinguish new addition
	from existing find.

	* match.c (dump_var): Dumps any object now by printing to
	a string with a string stream.
	(bindable): New function.
	(dest_bind): Tightened up to distinguish bindable symbols
	from non-bindable. Symbols that stand for themselves, including nil,
	can only match themselves. Destructuring matches have to
	match in the number of elements: dot notation can be used
	to match superfluous elements.
	(eval_form): Tightened up to recognize bindable symbols.
	(match_files): Various directives honor non-bindable symbols (cat,
	merge, flatten).

	* parser.l (yybadtoken): Handle KEYWORD case.
	(grammar): TOK can start with : . Returned as KEYWORD terminal,
	with a lexeme that no longer has the : character.

	* parser.y (KEYWORD): New nonterminal.
	(grammar): Calls to intern given extra parameter.
	In the expr rule, KEYWORD turned into symbol in keyword package.

	* regex.c (regexp): Bugfix: dereferencing non pointer.

	* stream.c (vformat): Bugfixes in state machine: handling
	of prefix digits; printing of numbers in ~s. 

	* txr.c (txr_main): Intern calls updated.

	* txr.1: Updated with information about nil, t and keywords.
	More details about destructuring matching in bind.

2009-11-20  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	* unwind.c (uw_throw): If streams are not initialized,
	we have an unhandled exception too early in initialization.
	Use C stream to print an error message and abort.
	Using the nil stream variable will just cause a recursion bomb.

2009-11-20  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	* lib.c (intern): Symbol interning to hash tables.
	(obj_init): interned_syms must be created as a hash
	table. Rearranged the order of some initializations so
	the vector code called by hash works.

2009-11-20  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	* lib.c (dest_bind): Fix breakage from two commits ago;
	was falling through to unsuccessful return in the
	consp case.

2009-11-20  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	* parser.y (grammar): Fix error actions that do not assign
	a value to $$.

2009-11-20  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	* match.c (dest_bind): Extended to handle more general forms
	by using eval_form rather than direct symbol binding lookups.
	False positive return fixed.
	(match_line): Fixed merge to use eval_from
	rather than direct symbol binding.

2009-11-20  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	* lib.c (flatten): Semantics change. The flatten function
	should not map nil -> (nil), but nil -> nil.

2009-11-20  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Changing ``obj_t *'' occurences to a ``val'' typedef. (Ideally,
	we wouldn't have to declare object variables at all, so why
	use an obtuse syntax to do so?)

	* lib.h (val): New typedef name. Used throughout.

	* gc.c, gc.h, hash.c, hash.h, lib.c, match.c, match.h, parser.h,
	parser.l, parser.y, regex.c, regex.h stream.c,, stream.h, txr.c,
	unwind.c, unwind.h: Replace obj_t * with val almost everywhere.
	Low-level gc functinos that work with arrays of obj_t use
	obj_t *. Seeing pointer arithmetic on a val doesn't make sense.
	In macros we use obj_t *, to reduce the chances of clashing
	with some local variable called val.

2009-11-19  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	* txr.1: Fixed mangled formatting of exception handling example.

2009-11-19  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Get rid of macros in favor of safer inline functions. 

	The recent auto_str("byte str") error could have been caught
	at compile time.

	* Makefile (CFLAGS): Include expansion of INLINE_FLAGS.

	* configure (inline_flags): New variable.
	(INLINE_FLAGS): New variable generated in config.make.

	* lib.h (tag, is_ptr, is_num, is_chr, is_lit, type,
	auto_str, static_str, litptr): Function-like macros converted to
	functions.

2009-11-19  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Version 024

	Fixed show-stopper breakage in parse error diagnostic function.

	Fixed bug introduced back in 015: collects that don't yield
	any variable bindings being wrongly treated as failed.

	* txr.c (version): Bumped to 024.

	* txr.1: Bumped version to 024.

2009-11-19  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Use unsigned char * as allocator return value.

	* lib.c (chk_malloc, chk_realloc): Return unsigned char *.

	* lib.c (chk_malloc, chk_realloc): Declarations updated.

	* utf8 (utf8_dup_to_uc): Remove cast to unsigned char *.

2009-11-18  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Following-up on diagnostics obtained by running code through C++
	compiler. Idea: allocator functions return char * instead of void *,
	like malloc did in classic pre-ANSI C. That way we are forced to 
	use a cast except when the target pointer is char * already.

	* lib.c (progname): Duplicate definition of global removed.
	(equal): Some default: cases to switch statements added.
	(chk_malloc): Returns char *.
	(chk_realloc): Returns char *, but takes void * on the way in.
	That way we get C++-like behavior.
	(chk_strdup): Oops, this returned void * instead of wchar_t *.
	c++ catches boo boo.
	(stringp): Added default: case to switch.
	(vec_set_fill): Cast return value of chk_realloc.

	* lib.h (chk_malloc, chk_realloc, chk_strdup): Declarations updated.

	* parser.h (lineno): extern qualifier added to prevent duplicate
	definitions of.

	* regex.c (nfa_free, nfa_run, nfa_machine_init, regex_compile): Cast
	return value of chk_malloc.

	* stream.c (snarf_line, get_string_from_stream): Cast return value of
	chk_realloc.

2009-11-18  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	* match.c (match_line, match_files): Fix broken behavior of collect
	that doesn't match anything. It is not a failed match, as the
	documentation makes perfectly clear.  Collect/coll were introduced
	in txr-006 and had the proper non-failing semantics.
	However, in txr-015, during code restructuring, a bug crept in.
	When changing to a different debugiging function, for some reason
	I added the nil returns.

2009-11-18  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	* parser.l (yyerror): Total breakage: can't take auto_str of char *
	string. 
	(yyerrorf): Total breakage: arguments of wrong types. Detected
	by vformat as garbage.

2009-11-18  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	txr.1: Clarified handling of UTF-8, now that it's precise and portable.

2009-11-18  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Version 023

	Minor bugfix.

	Code cleanup. Portability.

	Completely removed dependency on C99 wide character stream functions,
	and character encoding support from glibc. All UTF-8 encoding
	and decoding is done by the program itself.

	Removed the use of all GNU extensions and C99 syntax.

	txr now requires a C90 compiler, and POSIX 1003.1 and 1003.2.

	* txr.c (version): Bumped to 023.

	* txr.1: Bumped version to 023.

2009-11-17  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	More removal of C99 wide character I/O, and tightening up
	of standard conformance.

	* configure (lang_flags): Specify -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=2 to obtain
	POSIX 1003.1 and POSIX 1003.2 functions from the headers,
	without GNU extensions. Specify -std=c89 to get C89 conformance
	from gcc. 

	* match.c (dump_byte_string): New function.
	(dump_shell_string): Retargetted to object streams.
	(dump_var, dump_bindings): Retargetted to object streams.
	Changed back to using a byte string for the array index prefixes,
	to avoid using the wide-character swprintf.

	* parser.l (grammar): Eliminate wcsdup uses in favor of chk_strdup.
	Not only is wcsdup a GNU extension, it doesn't have the OOM check.

	* stream.c: Added <sys/wait.h> header to define WIFEXITED and others.

	* txr.c: Added include of <stdarg.h>. Removed <locale.h>,
	(main): Removed setlocale call. Not needed any more, since wide
	stream and string I/O is no longer used from the C library.

2009-11-17  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Removing use of C99 wide character I/O.

	* stream.c (BROKEN_POPEN_GETWC): Macro removed. Work around no
	longer needed since the program does not call getwc.
	(struct stdio_handle): #ifdef text removed.
	New member added: utf8 decoder.
	(stdio_maybe_read_error, stdio_maybe_write_error): Treat
	null handle as an exception rather than nil return. No need
	to check ferror in stdio_maybe_write_error, since there is no
	need to distinguish an end-of-file situation from error.
	(stdio_put_char_callback, stdio_get_char_callback): New functions.
	(stdio_put_string, stdio_put_char): Retargetted to utf8 encoder.
	Null handle treated as separate kind of error.
	(snarf_line, stdio_get_line, stdio_get_char): Retargetted to utf8
	decoder.
	(pipe_close): #ifdef text removed.
	(make_stdio_stream): utf8 decode initialized.
	(make_pipe_stream): utf8 decoder initialized. #ifdef text removed.

2009-11-17  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Warning fixes.

	* hash.c (hash_ops): Add missing initializer.

	* match.c (complex_open): Add missing intializer to ret variable.

	* regex.c (regex_obj_ops): Add missing initializer.

	* stream.c (stdio_ops, pipe_ops, string_in_ops, byte_in_ops,
	string_out_ops, dir_ops): Likewise.

2009-11-17  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	* lib.c (chrp): Fix broken is_chr(num) call.

2009-11-17  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	* regex.c (nfa_all_states, nfa_closure): visited parameter
	should be unsigned.

2009-11-17  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Fixes for compliance to C89.

	* lib.c (init): Do not define variable after statements.

	* match.c (match_files): Likewise.

	* regex.h (struct any_char_set, struct small_char_set, struct
	displaced_char_set, struct large_char_set,
	struct xlarge_char_set): do not use enum bitfields, which is a GCC
	extension.

	* unwind.h (enum uw_frtype, uw_frtype_t): Combine into one
	declartion, eliminating forward enum reference which is a GCC
	extension.
	(uw_block_begin): Add dummy typedef to macro so that it requires
	a following semicolon. Without this, if the macro use is followed
	by a semicolon, that semicolon looks like a null statement. A
	subsequent declaration thus follows a statement and is not conforming
	to C89. Also added an opening do.
	(uw_block_end): Add while(0) to match do in uw_block_begin.
	(uw_env_begin, uw_env_end): Add do/while(0) to macro pair, so
	uw_env_end reuqires a semicolon.
	(uw_catch_begin, uw_catch_end): Likewise.

	Version 022

	Fix for bug 28033: crash in string output stream.
	(Used by exception handling).

	New kernel object type introduced which allows C string literals
	to be used as first-class objects.

	Use of printf-like C formatting eliminated from the code base.

	The dependency on C99 wide character I/O is now minimized.

	* txr.c (version): Bumped to 022.

	* txr.1: Bumped version to 022.

2009-11-16  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	* Makefile (rebuild): New target. Tired of doing make clean; make.

2009-11-16  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Big round of changes to switch the code base to use the stream
	abstraction instead of directly using C standard I/O,
	to eliminate most uses of C formatted I/O,
	and fix numerous bugs, such variadic argument lists which
	lack a terminating ``nao'' sentinel. 
	
	Bug 28033 is addressed by this patch, since streams no longer provide
	printf-compatible formatting. The native formatter is extended with
	some additional capabilities to take over.

	The work on literal objects is expanded and they are now used
	throughout the code base.

	Fixed bad realloc in string output stream: reallocating by number
	of wide chars rather than bytes.

	* gc.c (sweep): Debugging code switched from fprintf to format.

	* lib.c (typ_check, type_check2, car, cdr, car_l, cdr_l, list,
	num, chrp, apply, cobj_print_op, dump): Retargetted, with help of new
	literals, to new funtions that take string objects, rather than raw C
	strings.
	(obj_print, obj_pprint): Revamped with support for LIT type.
	Retargetted to not use C style I/O functions in streams.

	* lib.h (lit): Macro retargetted to another macro so that it expands
	its argument.
	(lit_noex): New macro, like lit, but does not macro-expand argument.
	(auto_str): New macro.
	(static_str): New macro.

	* match.c (debugf, debuglf, sem_error, file_err): Converted from C
	string to string object.
	(dest_bind, match_line, LOG_MISMATCH, LOG_MATCH, match_files):
	Retargetted to new interfaces that take string objects rather than raw
	C strings.
	(complex_stream): New function.
	(do_output_line, do_output, extract): Retargetted from C streams to
	object streams.	

	* parser.h (yyerrorf): Declaration updated.

	* parser.l (yyerror): Call new yyerrorf interface, using auto_str
	macro to dress up C string as a temporary object.
	(yyerrorf): Changed from C strings to object strings.	
	(yybadtoken, grammar): Retargetted to new yyerrorf.

	* stream.c (strm_ops): put_string and put_char function pointers
	changed to take object strings rather than C strings.  vcformat and
	vformat virtuals removed. C formatting is not supported, and vformat is
	handled above the stream switch level in one place for all streams.
	(common_vformat, stdio_vcformat, string_out_vcformat, cformat,
	put_cstring, put_cchar): Functions removed.	
	(stdio_stream_print, stdio_stream_destroy, stdio_maybe_write_error,
	stdio_put_string, stdio_put_char, stdio_close, pipe_close,
	string_out_put_char, make_pipe_stream, make_string_input_stream,
	make_string_output_stream, make_dir_stream, close_stream,
	get_line, put_line, get_char, put_char, put_string): Retargetted to new
	string object interfaces.
	(stdio_ops, pipe_ops): stdio_vcformat and common_vcformat initializers
	(string_out_ops): string_out_vcformat and common_vcformat initializers
	removed.
	(string_in_ops, byte_in_ops, dir_ops): Two null initializers removed.
	(string_out_put_string): Converted to object string interface.
	Unnecessary chk_realloc call suppressed.
	(get_string_from_stream): Fixed bad call to realloc with incorrect
	size.
	(vformat_num, vformat_str): New functions, helper to vformat.
	(vformat): Rewritten. Is now the formatting engine.
	(format, put_string, put_char): Interface converted from C string to
	object string.

	* stream.h (vformat, format): Declarations updated.
	(vcformat, cformat, put_cstring, put_cchar): Declarations removed.

	* txr.c (oom_realloc_handler, help, txr_main): Retargetted to object
	stream and strings.

	* unwind.c (uw_throw, type_mismatch, uw_register_subtype): Retargetted
	to new string object interfaces.
	(uw_throwf, uw_errorf): Interface changed from C string to object
	string.
	(uw_throwcf, uw_errorcf): Functions removed.

	* unwind.h (uw_throwf, uw_errorf, type_mismatch): Declarations updated.
	(uw_throwcf, uw_errorcf): Declarations removed.
	(internal_error): Macro interface changed and retargetted to
	object strings. Also, num hygiene problem worked around with local
	extern declaration.
	(numeric_assert, range_bug_unless): Retargetted to object strings.

	* utf8.c (utf8_to, utf8_dup_from_uc, utf8_dup_from,
	utf8_dup_to_uc): Casts of chk_malloc return value added.

2009-11-15  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Use the 11 tag bit pattern to denote a new type: LIT. This is a
	pointer to a C static string, intended for literals. We can now
	treat literal strings as light-weight objects.

	* lib.h (TAG_MASK): Ensure the constant expr has long type.
	(TAG_LIT): New macro.
	(enum type, type_t): New enum member, LIT.

	* gc.c (finalize, mark_obj): Handle LIT type.

	* hash.c (ll_hash): Likewise.

	* lib.c (code2type, equal, stringp, length_str, c_str,
	obj_print): Likewise.
	(obj_init): Intern symbols using literal strings.
	(type): Parentheses added to macro expansion.
	(is_lit, lit, litptr): New macros.

2009-11-15  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	* lib.c (chr): Take wchar_t argument, not int. Dropped range check.
	(c_chr): Return wchar_t not int.

	* lib.h (chr, c_chr): Declarations updated.
	
2009-11-15  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Version 021.

	Text is represented using wide characters now. Queries and data
	are parsed as UTF-8, so extended characters can be directly used.
	Numeric character escapes can go up to \x10FFF.  (More limited on
	platforms where wchar_t is 16 bit).  Regular expressions support
	extended characters, directly or through escapes. Regex character set
	matches can use full Unicode range.  New test case 005 exercises
	some of these features over Japanese text.

	Failed exit status of pipes, and file close errors are exceptions now.

	Bug fixed in regex character classes.

	Fixed off-by-one error in lazy string implementation, which broke
	some uses of the @(freeform) directive.

	Fixed all instances of gc bug 28086: objects being prematurely
	reclaimed.  This showed up when compiling for profiling (gcc -pg).

	The --cc argument of the configure script works properly now.

	Numbers and characters are unboxed types now, encoded directly in
	the (obj_t *) value. Lowest two bits of (obj_t *) are a tag
	distinguishing characters, integers and pointers.  The program
	performs better from not having to cons memory when operating
	on numbers and characters.

	Discovered bug in glibc: getwc function segfaults when applied to
	stream returned by popen. Worked around this bug. Bug is filed
	as 10958 in glibc bugzilla.

	Internals: 
	
	Hash tables implemented. Hash tables support weak keys and values.

	* configure, hash.c, lib.c, stream.c, utf8.c: Removed trailing
	from some lines.
	
	* txr.c (version): Bumped to 021. Removed trailing whitespace.

	* txr.1: Bumped version to 021.

2009-11-14  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Provide both char * and unsigned char * interfaces in UTF-8 module.
	Fix unsigned and plan char * mixing.

	* utf8.c (utf8_from_uc, utf8_to_uc, utf8_dup_from_uc,
	utf8_dup_to_uc): New functions.
	(utf8_from): Fix type of backtrack pointer to unsigned char *.

	* utf8.h (utf8_from_uc, utf8_to_uc, utf8_dup_from_uc,
	utf8_dup_to_uc): Declared.

	* lib.c (string_utf8): Changed to take char * argument.
	
	* lib.h (string_utf8): Declaration updated.

2009-11-14  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	* Makefile (depend): Marked phony and $(PROG) prerequisite dropped. 
	(clean, distclean, tests, install): Phony targets marked phony.

	* dep.mk: Regenerated.

2009-11-14  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	* configure (cc): Compute variable properly.

2009-11-14  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Fixes for bug 28086. When constructing a cobj, whose associated
	C structure contains obj_t * references, we should initialize
	that C structure after allocating the cobj. If we initialize
	the structure first, it may end up having the /only/ references
	to the objects. In that case, the objects are invisible to the
	garbage collector. The subsquent allocation of the cobj itself
	then may invoke gc which will turn these objects into dust.
	The result is a cobj which contains a handle structure that
	contains references to free objects. The fix is to allocate
	the handle structure, then the cobj which is associated with
	that handle, and then initialize the handle, at which point it
	is okay if the handle has the only references to some objects.
	Care must be taken not to let a cobj escape with a partially
	initialized handle structure, and not to trigger gc between
	allocating the cobj, and initializing the fields.

	* hash.c (make_hash): Fix cobj construction order.

	* stream.c (make_stdio_stream): Fix cobj construction order.
	(make_pipe_stream): Fix cobj construction order. Also
	noticed and fixed a bug: h->descr field not being initialized
	in the currently enabled BROKEN_POPEN_GETWC variant of the code.

2009-11-13  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	New testcase which does some UTF-8 scanning, Unicode regexes,
	and @(freeform).

	* tests/005/data: New UTF-8 file.

	* tests/005/query-1.txr: Likewise.

	* tests/005/query-1.expected: Likewise.

	* Makefile (TXR_ARGS): New target-specific assignment to set
	data for test case set 005.

2009-11-13  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	* lib.c (symbolp): Bugfix: function crashed on NUM argument.
	(lazy_str): Fix for gc correctness: object from make_obj must be
	completely intialized before any gc-triggering operation is invoked,
	otherwise the garbage collector will be traversing an object
	whose fields contain old garbage.
	(lazy_str_force_upto): Off-by-one error. To force the object
	up to index position N, means forcing up to length N+1.
	This bug can make it look like a lazy string is much shorter
	than it really is.

2009-11-13  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Allow -c scripts to not have a trailing newline.
	Test suite exercises -c now.

	txr.c (txr_main): If the script specified with -c is not terminated
	by a newline, just add a newline. On the shell command line, it's a
	nuisance to have to add the extra line before closing the quote. 
	It's also awkward in scripting, because the shell (or at
	least Bash 3.0) does not produce a final terminating newline in command
	substitution syntax like -c "$(cat file)". The last newline in
	the file is trimmed, and has to be explicitly added in the script
	itself, which is wrong in the case when the file is empty.

	Makefile (TXR_SCRIPT_ON_CMDLINE): New target-specific variable,
	arbitarily set for test 002.
	(%.ok: %.txr): Rule updated to honor TXR_SCRIPT_ON_CMDLINE
	variable, passing the script body to txr using -c rather than
	as a file argument.

	txr.1: Document -c change.

2009-11-13  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Previous commit broke UTF-8 lexing, by changing the get_char
	semantics on the input stream to wide character input.
	Also, reading a query the command line (-c) must
	read bytes from a UTF-8 encoding of the string.
	We introduce a new get_byte function which can extract bytes
	from streams which provide it.

	* parser.l (YYINPUT): Call get_byte instead of get_char.

	* stream.c (struct strm_ops): New function pointer, get_byte.
	(stdio_get_byte): New function.
	(stdio_ops, pipe_ops): Add new function.
	(string_in_ops, string_out_ops, dir_ops): Null pointer added.
	(struct byte_input): New struct type.
	(byte_in_get_byte): New function.
	(byte_in_ops): New structure.
	(make_string_byte_input_stream, get_byte): New functions.

	* stream.h (make_string_byte_input_stream, get_byte): New functions.

	* txr.c (txr_main): Make a byte input stream from the command
	line spec, rather than a string input stream.

2009-11-12  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Continuing wchar_t conversion. Making sure all stdio calls
	use wide character functions so that there is no illicit
	mixing. (But the goal is to replace this usage with txr streams).

	* lib.c (list, cobj_print_op, obj_print, obj_pprint): Use
	wide string literals and I/O functions.

	* match.c (debuglcf): Converted to wchar_t.
	(dump_bindings, match_line, match_lines, extract): Use wide string
	literal and I/O function.

	* parser.h (yyerrorf): Declaration updated.

	* parser.l (yyerror): Use wide-string yyerrorf. Users of
	yyerror continue to pass multibyte strings.
	(yyerrorf): Converted to wchar_t.
	(yybadtoken, grammar): Use wide string literals to call yyerrorf.

	* stream.c (struct strm_ops): vcformat changed to wchar_t.
	(stdio_vcformat, string_out_vcformat, vcformat, cformat): Likewise.

	* stream.h (vformat, vcformat, cformat): Declarations updated.

	* txr.c (oom_realloc_handler, help, hint, txr_main): Use wide string
	literals and I/O functions.

	* unwind.c (uw_throwcf, uw_errorcf): Converted to wchar_t.

	* unwind.h (uw_throwcf, uw_errorcf): Declarations updated.
	(internal_error, numeric_assert, range_bug_unless): Macros
	fixed to use wide string literals.

2009-11-12  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	* utf8.c (utf8_from): Fix total breakage.
	Was writing out incomplete wide characters on internal
	state transtions while traversing a single multi-byte character.
	Also, improved handling of bad bytes close to EOF: if EOF
	occurs in a multi-byte character, it will backtrack,
	and skip one bad byte, etc.
	(utf8_encode, utf8_decoder_init, utf8_decode): New functions.

	* utf8.h (enum utf8_state): New enum.
	(struct utf8_decoder, utf8_decoder_t): New struct.
	(utf8_encode, utf8_decoder_init, utf8_decode): Declared.

2009-11-12  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Documenting extended characters in man page.
	Cleaned up some more issues related to extended characters.

	* parser.l (grammar): Added error sctions for invalid UTF-8 bytes.

	* stream.c (BROKEN_POPEN_GETWC): New macro. Enables workaround
	for a glibc bug, whereby getwc blows up when applied to a FILE *
	stream returned from a popen call.
	(struct strm_ops): put_char function takes wchar_t.
	(common_format): Use wchar_t rather than int.
	(stdio_put_string): fputws returns -1, not EOF.
	(stdio_put_char, put_cchar): Character argument changed to wchar_t.
	Output done with putwc used instead of putc.
	(snarf_line, stdio_get_char): Use getwc to read from the stream.
	(pipe_close, make_pipe_stream): Implement workaround form glibc bug.

	* stream.h (put_cchar): Declaration updated.

	* txr.1: Added notes about international characters.

2009-11-12  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Regular expression module updated to do unicode character sets.
	Most of the changes are in the area of representing sets.

	Also, a bug was found in the compilation of regex character sets:
	ranges straddling two adjacent blocks of 32 characters were
	not being added to the character set. However, ranges falling
	within a single 32 block, or spanning three or more such blocks,
	worked properly. This bug is not tickled by common ranges
	such as A-Z, or 0-9, which land within a 32 block.

	* regex.h (BITCELL_LIT): Macro removed.
	(CHAR_SET_SIZE): Macro does not depend on UCHAR_MAX any more,
	but hard-codes a set size of 256. UCHAR_MAX means nothing to us any
	more since we are using wchar_t. The number 256 is simply an
	arbitrarily chosen size for representing the small character
	sets (or the leaves of the radix tree for representing large sets).
	(chset_type_t): New enum typedef.
	(cset_L0_t, cset_L1_t, cset_L2_t, cset_L3_t): New array typedefs.
	(struct char_set): Replaced by union char_set.
	(struct any_char_set, struct small_char_set, struct displaced_char_set,
	struct large_char_set, struct xlarge_char_set): New struct types.
	(char_set_clear): Declaration removed.
	(char_set_create, char_set_destroy): Declared.
	(char_set_add, char_set_add_range, char_set_contains,
	nfa_state_single, nfa_state_set, nfa_machine_feed): Declarations
	updated for wchar_t.
	(struct nfa_state_single): member ch changed to wchar_t.

	* regex.c (char_set_clear): Function removed.
	(CHAR_SET_L0, CHAR_SET_L1, CHAR_SET_L2, CHAR_SET_L3, CHAR_SET_L2_L0,
	CHAR_SET_L2_HI, CHAR_SET_L1_L0, CHAR_SET_L1_HI, CHAR_SET_L0_L0,
	CHAR_SET_L0_HI): New macros.
	(L0_full, L0_fill_range, L0_contains, L1_full, L1_fill_range,
	L1_contains, L1_free, L2_full, L2_fill_range, L2_contains,
	L2_free, L3_fill_range, L3_contains, char_set_create,
	char_set_destroy): New functions.
	(char_set_compl): Works using a flag rather than by actually
	computing a complemented set. Also, is no longer a toggle (and
	was never used that way).
	(char_set_add, char_set_add_range, char_set_contains): Polymorphic over
	the different set types.
	(nfa_state_single, nfa_move, nfa_run, nfa_machine_feed): Converted
	to wchar_t.
	(nfa_state_free): Use char_set_destroy to free set.
	(nfa_state_set): Does not construct the set internally but
	takes it as a parameter.
	(nfa_compile_set): Rewritten to perform two passes over the
	s-expression representing the list of characters and ranges
	making up the set.  The first pass determines what representation
	will be used for the set. The second pass stuffs the characters and
	ranges into the set.

2009-11-11  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	* txr.c (main): call setlocale to set the LC_CTYPE to en_US.UTF-8,
	so that the C library streams do the encoding. Once the program
	is weaned from C library wide character stream I/O, this can go away.

2009-11-11  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Big conversion to wide characters and UTF-8 support.
	This is incomplete. There are too many dependencies on
	wide character support from the C stream I/O library.
	The regex code does not handle wide characters properly.
	Character type is still int in some places, rather than wchar_t.
	Test suite passes though.

	* hash.c (hash_str): Converted to wchar_t.

	* lib.c (progname, type_check, type_check2, type_check3,
	car, cdr, car_l, cdr_l, equal, chk_strdup, string_own,
	string, mkstring, mkustring, init_str, length_str,
	c_str, search_str, sub_str, cat_str, split_str, trim_str,
	chrp, apply, lazy_str, lazy_str_get_trailing_list,
	cobj, obj_init, obj_print, obj_pprint, init): Converted to wchar_t.
	(vector): Cast of chk_malloc return value added.
	(string_utf8): New function.

	* lib.h (struct string): Member str changed to wchar_t *.
	(progname, chk_strdup, string_own, string, init_str,
	c_str, init): Declarations updated.
	(string_utf8): Declared.

	* match.c (debugf, debuglf, sem_error, file_err, dump_shell_string,
	dump_var, dump_bindings, dest_bind, match_line, do_output_line,
	do_output, match_files): Converted to wchar_t.

	* parser.h (spec_file): Declaration updated.

	* parser.l (yy_errorf, char_esc, num_esc): Converted to wchar_t.
	(ASC, ASCN, U, U2, U3, U4, UANY, UNANN, UONLY): New named
	regexes, used for lexing utf-8.
	(grammar): Converted to wchar_t and utf-8 handling.

	* parser.y (%union/yystype): lexeme member changed to wchar_t *,
	chr member changed to wchar_t.

	* regex.c (nfa_run): Input string is wchar_t *.
	(search_regex): String from haystack is wchar_t *.

	* regex.h (nfa_run): Declaration updated.

	* stream.c (struct strm_ops, common_vformat, stdio_stream_print,
	stdio_maybe_read_error, stdio_maybe_write_error, stdio_put_string,
	stdio_put_char, snarf_line, stdio_get_line, stdio_close, pipe_close,

	get_string_from-stream, make_dir_stream, get_line, get_char,
	vformat, vcformat, format, cformat, put_string, put_cstring,
	put_char, put_cchar, stream_init): Converted to wchar_t.

	* stream.h (vformat, format, put_cstring): Declarations updated.

	* txr.c  (version, progname, spec_file, oom_realloc_handler,
	help, hint, remove_hash_bang_line, main, txr_main): Converted
	to wchar_t.

	* txr.h (version, progname): Declarations updated.

	* unwind.c (uw_throw, uw_throwf, uw_errorf, type_mismatch,
	uw_register_subtype): Converted to wchar_t.

	* unwind.h (uw_throwf, uw_errorf, type_mismatch): Declarations updated.

	* utf8.c, utf8.h: New files.

2009-11-10  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	hash.c (hash_grow): Rewritten to avoid resizing the vector
	in place, and thus having to pulling all conses into a big list.
	TODO: avoid recomputing the hash function over the keys.
	We could enhance cons cells with two more fields without using
	additional storage.

2009-11-06  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Changing representation of objects to allow for unboxed characters.
	Now numbers and characters fit into a cell. We lose one more bit
	from the range of numbers.

	* lib.h (TAG_SHIFT, TAG_MASK, TAG_NUM, TAG_PTR, NUM_MASK, NUM_MIN,
	is_ptr, is_num):  Macros updated.
	(is_chr, tag): New macros.
	(struct chr): Removed.
	(union obj): Updated.

	* lib.c (typeof, equal, chr, chrp, c_chr, obj_print): Updated.

	* hash.c (ll_hash): Characters aren't pointers any longer;
	use abstract accessor.

2009-11-06  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Add hash removal.

	* hash.c (remhash): New function.

	* hash.h (remhash): Declared.

2009-11-06  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Add hash table growth.

	hash.c (hash_grow): New function.
	(l_gethash): Renamed to gethash_l. Increment count; if load
	factor gets to two, call hash_grow to double the size.

	hash.h (l_gethash): Declaration changed to gethash_l.

2009-11-06  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Changing representation of objects to allow the NUM type to be
	unboxed. If the lowest bit of the obj_t * pointer is 1, then
	the remaining bits are a number. A lot of assumptions are made:
	- the long type can be converted to and from a pointer
	- two's complement.
	- behavior of << and >> operators when the sign bit is involved.

	* lib.h (TAG_SHIFT, TAG_MASK, TAG_NUM, TAG_PTR, NUM_MASK, NUM_MIN,
	is_ptr, is_num, type): New macros.
	(struct num): Removed.
	(nao): Redefined, so that it doesn't have the numeric tag.

	* lib.c (typeof, type_check2, type_check3, car, car_l, cdr, cdr_l,
	equal, consp, atom, listp, num, c_num, nump, plus, minus,
	stringp, lazy_stringp, obj_print, obj_pprint): Fixed these
	functions to use the new number representation, and not to deference
	the obj_t * poitner if it is actually a number.
	(obj_init): Adjusted values of maxint and minint.

	* gc.c (mark_obj, gc_is_reachable): Avoid dereferencing numbers.

	* hash.c (ll_hash): Likewise.

	* match.c (match_line, do_output_line): Likewise.

2009-11-06  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	First cut at hash tables. One known problem is allocation during gc,
	due to use of boxed numbers for vector access.

	* gc.c (gc): Disable gc when doing garbage collection, in case
	something tries to allocate memory during gc, triggering a recursive
	gc, which would be very bad. Also, call the new function,
	hash_process_weak, in between the mark and sweep phases.
	(gc_is_reachable): New function.

	* gc.h (gc_is_reachable): Declared.

	* lib.c (hash_t): New symbol global.
	(acons_new_l): New function.
	(obj_init): New symbol interned.

	* lib.h (hash_t, acons_new_l): Declared.

	* dep.mk: Regenerated.

2009-11-06  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Throw exception on stream error during close, or I/O operations.  This
	is needed for pipes that terminate abnormally or return failed
	termination. Pipe and stdio streams have an extra description field
	so they are printed in a readable way.

	* lib.c (process_error): New global defined.
	(obj_init): New symbol interned.
	(lazy_stream_func): Pass t to close_stream, so exception
	is thrown if the close fails.
	(lazy_stream_cons): Ditto.
	
	* lib.h (process_error): Declared.

	* match.c (complex_snarf): Pass new desr argument to make_stdio_stream
	and make_pipe_stream.

	* stream.c (strm_ops): New argument on close function pointer.
	(common_destroy): Close without throwing exception. For objects
	being finalized, we don't care if the close works or not; the
	program has shown that it doesn't care about the stream by
	letting it become unreachable, so we don't bother the program
	by throwing an exception.
	(stdio_handle): New struct.
	(stdio_stream_print, stdio_stream_destroy, stdio_stream_mark,
	stdio_maybe_read_error, stdio_maybe_write_error): New functions.
	(stdio_put_string, stdio_put_char, stdio_get_line, 
	stdio_get_char, stdio_vcformat, stdio_close): Updated to new
	handle format, and throw errors now.
	(stdio_ops, pipe_ops): Redirected to new functions stdio_stream_print,
	stdio_stream_destroy and stdio_stream_mark.
	(pipe_close): Updated to new handle format. Parses status from
	pclose and throws exceptions appropriate to the situation.
	(dir_close): Takes extra argument.
	(make_stdio_stream, make_pipe_stream): New argument added.
	(make_string_output_stream): Some casts added. 
	(close_stream): Pass new argument down to virtual function.
	(stream_init): Pass new argument to make_stdio_stream
	when creating streams for stdin, stdout and stderr.

	* stream.h (make_stdio_stream, make_pipe_stream, close_stream):
	Declarations updated.

	* txr.c (txr_main): Pass new argument to make_stdio_stream.

	* unwind.c (uw_init): Register process_error.

2009-11-01  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Version 020

	Improved documentation.

	Building via configure script.

	Support for cross compiling support.

	Support for building in separate build directory.

	Internal bugfixes.

	Portability bugs fixed; works on x86-64 GNU/Linux.

2009-11-01  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Bug ID 27898: Directory order dependencies in test case.
	Converted some directories to text files.

	* tests/002/proc/*/task: Directories removed.

	* tests/002/proc/*/tasks: Files created.

	* tests/002/query-1.txr: Query updated.

	* tests/002/query-1.expected: Expected output updated.

2009-11-01  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Bug ID 27895: Calls to protect have an argument list terminated
	by the integer constant 0 rather than a proper null pointer constant.

	lib.c (obj_init): Properly terminate argument list of protect call.

	stream.c (stream_init): Likewise.

	unwind.c (unwind_init): Likewise.

	txr.c (txr_main): two-argument protect calls rewritten using prot1.

2009-11-01  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Bug ID 27899: Garbage collection problem: method of locating stack
	bottom is unreliable due to the unpredictable allocation order of local
	variables. The addresses of stack_bottom_0 and stack_bottom_1 variables
	do not necessarily bracket the others which means that some local
	variables in main can be out of the reach of the garbage collector:
	our stack bottom is wrongly in the middle of the frame.

	* lib.c (init): Removed one of the stack bottom parameters, so there
	is only one. This is passed straight down to gc_init.
	Also noticed that the oom_realloc variable was not being set
	from the oom parameter.

	* lib.h (init): Declaration updated.

	* txr.c (txr_main): New static function.
	(main): Calls init, and then txr_main. The idea is that txr_main
	should get fresh stack frame. So the stack_bottom variable in main
	should be outside of that stack frame.

2009-10-22  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	* lib.c (equal): Fix broken LSTR and FUN cases.

2009-10-22  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	* Makefile (depend): Refer to depend.txr and dep.mk
	using $top_srcdir; no need for symlinks.
	Changed a few more ./txr references to use $(PROG).
	(TESTS): Path munging to generate targets with local paths.
	(%.ok): Fixed diff logic to compare between .expected file
	in $(top_srcdir) and local .out file.

	* configure: Don't generate symlinks for tests and dep.mk.

2009-10-22  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Got "make install" working.

	* Makefile (install): New target.

	* configure (mandir, bindir): New variables.

2009-10-22  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Got build to work in separate build directory.

	* Makefile (CFLAGS): Added -I flag to point header inclusion to the
	source directory.
	(PROG): New variable to hold program name.
	(VPATH): Variable set, as a quick and dirty way to get GNU make
	to find the prerequisites back in the source directory.
	* configure: Added steps to symlink the tests directory and dep.mk.
	* depend.txr: Modified to generate the dependencies with
	correct references to the top_srcdir, with the exception of
	locally generated headers.
	* dep.mk: Regenerated.

2009-10-22  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Build configuration via configure script, with cross compiling support.
	(Tested by cross-compiling txr on an x86 GNU/Linux system
	to run on a MIPS-based GNU/Linux system).

	* configure: New script.
	* Makefile: (OPT_FLAGS, LANG_FLAGS, DIAG_FLAGS, DBG_FLAGS,
	LEX_DBG_FLAGS, TXR_DBG_OPTS, LEXLIB): Variables removed;
	these are now generated in config.make by configure.
	(config.make): New target to print friendlier diagnostic if
	the build is not configured.
	(distclean): New target to do clean, plus remove config.make.

2009-10-22  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	* parser.l (YY_INPUT): Kill tabs with spaces (how did they sneak in?).
	Fix possible use of uninitialized ch.

2009-10-21  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	* txr.1: Fixed misleading wording (separation versus termination).
	Added Introduction headings to some major sections.
	Improved exception handling intro.

2009-10-21  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Version 019

	Regexps can be bound to variables.

	New freeform directive.

	* txr.c (version): Bump.
	* txr.1: Bump version and date.

	* lib.c, match.c, regex.c, regex.h, stream.c: Trailing whitespace
	removed from lines.

2009-10-21  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	* txr.1: Documented freeform.

2009-10-21  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Change the freeform line catenation semantics to termination
	rather than separation.

	* lib.h (lazy_str): Declaration updated.

	* lib.c (lazy_str): Tack terminator onto initial prefix
	string. Parameter renamed. Also, terminator string cached
	in the object.
	(lazy_str_force, lazy_str_force_upto): Terminate, rather
	than separate.

	* match.c (match_files): sep variable renamed to term.

2009-10-21  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	* gc.c (mark_obj): Bugfix: recurse over recently added
	member, opts, in the lazy_string structure.

2009-10-20  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Got regex working over lazy strings from freeform.

	Bugfixes.

	* lib.c (length_str): Fixed recursion to wrong length function.
	(lazy_str_force):  March down list properly. Update lazy
	string's limit value.

	* match.c (match_line): Convert to lazy-string-aware style; i.e.
	avoidance of triggering a force of the whole string.
	(match_files): Bugfix in argument processing of freeform directive.

	* regex.h (nfam_result_t): New typedef.
	(nfa_machine_reset): New function declaration.
	(nfa_machine_feed): Updated declaration.

	* regex.c (nfa_machine_init): Refactor to use nfa_machine_reset.
	(nfa_machine_feed): Return nfam_result_t rather than just int.
	(search_regex, match_regex): Refactor to work with lazy strings well.

2009-10-20  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Implement custom separator and limit in freeform.

	* lib.h (lazy_string): New struct member, opts.
	(lazy_str): Declaration updated.

	* lib.c (lazy_str): New constructor parameters to set the
	seprator string and numeric line limit.

	and use the separator string if provided.

	* match.c (match_files): Process the arguments for freeform
	directive.

2009-10-20  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	* lib.c (sub_str): Avoid invoking c_str which forces the
	lazy string.

2009-10-20  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Start of implementation for freestyle matching.

	Lazy strings implemented, incompletely.

	Changed string function to implicitly strdup; non-strdup
	version changed to string_own. Fixed wrong uses of strdup
	rather than chk_strdup.

	Functions added to regex module to provide regex matching
	as a state machine to which characters are fed.

	* lib.h (type_t): New enum member LSTR, for lazy strings.
	(lstr_t, freestyle, type_check3, string_own): Declared.
	(string): Parameter changed to const char *.
	(lazy_stringp, split_str, lazy_str, lazy_str_force_upto,
	lazy_str_force, lazy_str_get_trailing_list, length_str_gt,
	length_str_ge, length_str_lt, length_str_le): Declared.

	* lib.c (lstr_t, freestyle): New symbol globals.
	(code2type, obj_print, obj_pprint, equal): Extended to handle LSTR.
	(type_check3): New function.
	(string_own): New function; does what string used to do.
	(string): Duplicates the string with strdup, so callers don't have to.
	(mkstring, copy_str, trim_str): Use string_own.
	(stringp): A lazy string is a kind of string.
	(lazy_stringp): New function.
	(length_str, c_str, search_str, sub_str, chr_str,
	chr_str_set): Handle lazy strings.
	(split_str): New function.
	(lazy_str, lazy_str_force_upto, lazy_str_force,
	lazy_str_get_trailing_list, length_str_gt, length_str_ge,
	length_str_lt, length_str_le): New functions.
	(obj_init): New symbols interned. Eliminated strdup calls.
	
	* gc.c (finalize, mark_obj): Changed to handle LSTR type.

	Added freeform directive.

	* parser.y (grammar): Changed string calls to string_own.

	* stream.c (stdio_get_line, get_string_from_stream):

2009-10-18  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Trivial change allows regexps to be bound to variables,
	and used for matching. This Just Works because of
	the way match_line treats variables.

	* match.c (eval_form): Check for a regexp form and return
	it as a value representing itself.
	* regex.c (regexp): New function.
	* regex.h (regexp): Declared.

2009-10-17  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	* deps.mk: Updated.

2009-10-17  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Version 018

	Bugfixes: mistakes in debugging calls; infinite looping
	bug in collect; skip directive not advancing match
	by proper number of lines bug.

	* match.c (debuglcf): Cosmetic fix.
	(match_files): After recognizing nothrow in the file spec,
	replace it by a string. A few places expect first(files) to be
	a string. The skip directive must return whatever
	return value it obtained from the nested match_files call,
	and not substitute the current line number, so that the
	caller can proceed past the correct number of lines that
	were matched. Fixed obj_t * being passed to %s printf specifier
	in debug printf. Collect directive must make progress even
	if the nested spec makes no progress (returns successfully,
	but with the original line number).
	* txr.c (version): Bump.
	* txr.1: Bump version and date.
	* txr/tests/004/query-1.txr: New test case.
	* tests/004/query-1.expected: Expected result for new test case.

2009-10-17  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Version 017

	Bugfix in exception subtype definition (defex).

	Tail recursion in marking function of garbage collector.

	-f option for specifying query file, allowing more
	options to follow, useful in hash-bang scripting and
	other situations.

	* txr.c: (version): Bump to 016
	* txr.1: Bump version to 016.

2009-10-17  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	* txr.1: Documented defex.
	* unwind.c (uw_register_subtype): Bugfix: if the subtype
	exists already, we must not delete it and create a new entry, but
	destructively point its entry to its assigned supertype.
	An exceptions is thrown rather than abort for attempts
	to make t a subtype of something other than itself.
	An attempt to make something other than nil a subtype of nil
	is diagnosed.  Attempts to redefine the relationship
	between two types if they are already connected by one;
	this covers circularity and other cases, while still allowing
	a relaxed order of definition.

2009-10-17  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	* gc.c (mark_obj_tail): New macro.
	(mark_obj): Optimized with manual tail recursion.
	The funtion will no longer generate long call stacks
	for long lists. Descending to the car field of
	a cons is still recursive, but ``car-heavy''
	trees are rare.

2009-10-16  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Resurrect -f option, with different meaning.
	We need "-f query-file" so that hash-bang scripts
	can be written which can pass options to txr.

	* txr.c (help, main): Inplement and document -f.
	Also bugfix: do not throw file open errors as exceptions
	of type error, because these cause an abort, potentially leading to a
	core dump. They are now thrown as file_error.
	* txr.1: Documented -f.

2009-10-16  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Implemented @(next arg) for treating the command line
	as an input source.

	* txr.1: Updated, and fixed a few unrelated mistakes.
	* lib.c (dir): Removed unused symbol globa.
	(args): New symbol global.
	* lib.h (dir): Declaration removed.
	(args): Declared.
	match.c (match_files): Implemented @(next arg).
	Had to hack laziness to the file opening logic in match_files.
	If the function is entered with a spec whose first
	directive is @(next), then it defers opening the first
	file in the list of files (since it will be immediately
	abandoned in favor of another input source).
	This prevents an error in the situation when the
	arguments do not name files, and there is a @(next args)
	directive to process them as an input source.

2009-10-16  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Version 016

	Catch clauses with parameters.

	Directive for throwing exceptions: throw.

	Directive for defining exception types: defex.

	-f option renamed to -c.

	* txr.c: (version): Bump to 016
	* txr.1: Bump version to 016.

2009-10-16  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	* txr.c (help, main): Changed -f argument to -c. This
	is consistent with the -c argument of the shell;
	-f looks like awk's -f option, which specifies a file,
	not a literal script body.

	* txr.1: Updated.

2009-10-15  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	* txr.1: Grammar, spelling.

2009-10-15  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	* parser.y (clauses_opt): Long overdue nonterminal added.
	(define_clause) simplified with clauses_opt.
	(try_clause): Error handling improved.
	(catch_clauses_opt): Catch and finally clauses can be empty.
	Error cases added.
	* txr.1: Updated.

2009-10-15  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	* match.c (match_files): Use alist_remove1 for a one
	element removal.

2009-10-15  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	* unwind.c (uw_throw): Add program prefix before
	unhandled exception text. Print it in the
	standard notation if it's not a string literal.
	* match.c (sem_error, file_err): Don't stick program
	prefix into exception text.

2009-10-15  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	* unwind.c (uw_exception_subtype_p, uw_init):
	Slight change in representation for exception subtypes,
	saving one node in the list.

2009-10-15  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	New throw and defex directives, catches with arguments.

	* lib.c (defex, throw): New symbol globals.
	(obj_init): Symbols interned.
	* lib.h (defex, throw): Declared.
	* match.c (match_files): Implemented throw and defex.
	Argument handling in catches.
	* unwind.c (uw_register_subtype): Returns right
	argument, so we can cleverly use it with reduce_left.
	* unwind.h (uw_register_subtype): Declaration updated.
	* txr.1: Updated.

2009-10-14  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Version 015

	Code restructuring.

	Corruption bugfix in gc-debugging code.

	The nil symbol more properly implemented.

	Semantics change: collect treated as a failed match if it
	does not collect anything.

	Bugfix in function argument reconciliation: must only
	be done for unbound parameters.

	New @(local) directive (synonym of forget) for expressing
	local variables in functions.

	Quasi-literals: backquote-delimited literals that contain interpolated
	variables. Useful in next, output, bind and function calls.

	Hygiene: some implementation-inserted syntax tree elements
	are now in their own namespace so they can't clash with user-defined
	constructs.

	Rewritten streams implementation.

	Exception handling: try/catch/finally.

	Exceptions used internally and externally.

	File errors are mapped to exceptions now.

	Hash bang (#!) scripting supported.

	New -f paramater, allowing entire query to be specified
	as argument rather than from a file or stdin.

	* txr.c: (version): Bump to 014.
	* txr.1: Bump version to 014. More documentation about
	exceptions.

2009-10-14  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Support for hash bang execution, and embedding query
	in a command line argument.

	* txr.c (remove_hash_bang_line): New function.
	(main): Added -f option. Initialize and gc-protect yyin_stream, and
	use it in all places where yyin was previously set up.
	Diagnose when -a, -D and -f are wrongly clumped with other options.
	Remove the first line of the query if it starts with #!.
	* parser.h (yyin): Declaration removed.
	(yyin_stream): Declared.
	* parser.l (YY_INPUT): Macro defined.
	(yyin_stream): New global.
	* stream.c (string_in_get_line, string_in_get_char): Bugfix:
	wrong length function used.
	(string_in_ops): Bugfix: wrong get_char function wired in.
	(get_char): New function.
	* stream.h (get_char): Declared.
	* txr.1: -f option documented.

2009-10-14  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	* lib.c (obj_print, obj_pprint): Print #<garbage ...>
	syntax if an object has a bad type code; do not just return
	without printing anything.

2009-10-14  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Code cleanup and documentation.

	* txr.1: Start documenting quasiliterals, exception handling and
	nothrow in next and output.
	* parser.y (catch_clauses_opt): Add missing empty production, so that
	a try block doesn't have to have a finally clause.
	* lib.h (or2, or3, or4): New macros.
	* match.c (match_files): Allow output and next forms which just
	have one argument that is nothrow, as documented.
	* stream.c common_vformat, string_out_vcformat, string_out_vcformat,
	make_string_output_stream, make_dir_stream, close_stream, get_line,
	vformat, vcformat, format, cformat, put_string, put_cstring,
	put_char): Switch to new style type assertions.

2009-10-13  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	New syntax for next and output directives, taking advantage
	of quasi-literals. Non-throwing behavior can be specified in
	both using nothrow. The old syntax is supported, and has
	the old semantics (non-throwing). Hence, the test cases
	pass again without modification.

	File open errors thrown as file_error type.

	* lib.c (nothrow, file_error): New symbol globals.
	(obj_init): New symbols interned.
	* lib.h (nothrow, file_error): Declared.
	* match.c (file_err): New function.
	(eval_form): Bugfix: if input is nil, or an atom other than a symbol,
	return the value hoisted into a cons. A nil return strictly means,
	unbound variable.
	(match_files): Support new syntax for next and and output.
	Throw open errors as file_err.
	* parser.l (grammar): Change how OUTPUT is returned to the
	style similar to DEFINE, so interior forms can be parsed.
	* parser.y (grammar): Fix up output_clause with new syntax.
	* unwind.c (uw_throw): Do not abort on unhandled file_error,
	but terminate with a failed status.
	(uw_init): Register file_error as a subtype of error exception.

2009-10-13  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	First cut at working try/catch/finally implementation.

	* lib.c (try, catch, finally): New symbol globals.
	(obj_init): New symbols interned.
	* lib.h (try, catch, finally: Declared.
	* parser.y (TRY, CATCH, FINALLY): New tokens.
	(try_clause, catch_clauses_opt): New nonterminal grammar symbols.
	* parser.l (yybadtoken): TRY, CATCH and FINALLY handled.
	(grammar): New cases for try, catch and finally.
	* unwind.h (struct uw_catch): New member called visible.
	(uw_continue): New parameter added.
	(uw_exception_subtype_p): Declared.
	(uw_catch_begin): Macro rewritten to use switch logic
	around setjmp.
	(uw_do_unwind, uw_catch, uw_unwind): New macros.
	(uw_catch_end): Rewritten to close switch, and automatically
	continue the unwinding if the block is entered as an unwind.
	* unwind.c (uw_unwind_to_exit_point): Exception catching
	frames made invisible via new flag prior to control passing to them.
	longjmp code 2 introduced for distinguishing a catch from
	an unwind. Visibility flag is checked and invisible frames
	are skipped.
	(uw_push_catch): cont member of the unwind frame initialized to zero.
	(exception_subtype_p): Renamed to uw_exception_subtype_p, changed
	to extern. Fixed wrong order of arguments to assoc.
	(uw_throw): Honor visibility flag: do not consider invisible
	catch frames.
	(uw_register_subtype): sup/sub mixup bugfix.
	(uw_continue): Takes extra argument: the continuation frame
	that (re)establishes the exit point for the unwinding.
	This allows nested unwinding action to take place in a finally,
	and then to continue to the original exit point.
	* match.c (match_files): Handling for try directive added.

2009-10-13  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	* parser.l (yybadtoken): Bugfix: added missing LITCHAR case.
	* unwind.h (internal_error): Fixed broken macro.
	* match.c (match_line, match_files): sem_error bugfix: used %a instead
	of ~a.
	(match_files): Wrap block handler in compound statement, otherwise the
	macroexpansion declares a variable in the middle of a statement, which
	is a gcc extension to C90 (or a C99 feature,
	but we aren't using C99).

2009-10-08  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	debuglf, debuglcf for logging and sem_error for throwing
	query errors as exceptions.
	* parser.h (spec_file_str): New global declared.
	* parser.l (yyerror): Calls yyerrorf instead of yyerrorlf;
	lets yyerrorf increment error count.
	(yyerrorf): Loses level argument.
	(yyerrorlf): Function removed.
	(yybadtoken): Retargetted from yyerrorlf to yyerrorf.
	(grammar): yyerrorf call fixed up.
	* txr.c (spec_file_str): New global defined.
	(main): Protects new global against gc, and initializes it.
	* unwind.c (uw_throw): If an unhandled exception is of
	type query_error, it results in an exit rather than abort.
	The false string is conditionally printed.
	(uw_init): Register query_error as subtype of error.

2009-10-08  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Exception handling framework implemented.

	assertions rewritten using new functions and macros.
	(obj_init): prog_string protected from gc.
	New symbols interned.
	(init): uw_init() call moved after obj_init() because
	it needs stable symbols.
	* lib.h (cobj_t, error, type_error, internal_err, numeric_err,
	range_err, prog_string, type_check, type_check2): Declared.
	* match.c (dump_var, complex_snarf, complex_close): abort

	* txr.c (main): Some error prints turned to throws.
	* unwind.c (unwind_to_exit_point): Supports UW_CATCH frames,
	whose finalization logic has to be invoked during unwinding,
	and as target exit points.
	(uw_init): Installs exception symbols into
	subtyping hirearchy.

2009-10-07  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Implemented quasi-literals: string literals which may
	contain variables to be interpolated.

	Also, took care of a hygiene problem with respect to some
	parser-generated forms, which must be invisible to the user.

	* Makefile (LEX_DB_FLAGS): New variable; helpful
	in generating a lexical analyzer with debug tracing.
	* parser.l (nesting, closechar): Static variables removed.
	(char_esc): Add \` escape for quasi-literals.
	(stack): New %option, to generate a scanner which has
	a start condition stack.
	(QSILIT): New start condition.
	(grammar): Refactored to use start condition stacks.
	Quasi-literal lexical analysis added.
	* parser.y (lit_char_helper): New function, for factoring out
	some common logic between string literals and quasi literals.
	(quasilit, quasi_item, quasi_items): New grammar symbols and
	production rules.
	(strlit): Rule shortened with new helper function.
	Bugfix: error case assigns nil to $$.
	(chrlist): Bugfix: error case assigns nil to $$.
	(LITCHAR): Added to %prec table to fix shift-reduce problem.
	(expr): Production now can generate a quasilit.
	* lib.c (quasi): New symbol global.
	(obj_init): Intern quasi as "$quasi", so the user can
	make a function called quasi.  Also, var and regex are now interned
	with the names "$var" and "$regex" for the same reason.
	* lib.h (quasi): Declared.
	* match.c (eval_form): Rewritten with recursive processing
	to handle deeply embedded variables, as well as quasi-strings.
	(subst_vars): Handles quasi-strings.
	(match_files): Function calls now use eval_form for function
	argument evaluation, except of course in the special case that if an
	argument is a symbol, it may be unbound.

2009-10-06  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	* match.c (match_files): No error message for merging to
	a symbol which is already bound; the existing behavior
	is to destructively update the binding, which is useful,
	and so the error is pointless.

2009-10-06  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Introduce local as synonym to forget. It does exactly the
	same thing; a previous binding is forgotten. This spelling
	is nicer for functions.
	* lib.h (local): Declared.
	* lib.c (local): Defined.
	(obj_init): New symbol interned.

2009-10-06  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Bugfix: function parameter reconciliation (after function call
	completes) must only consider the unbound parameters.
	Otherwise false mismatches result if the function destructively
	manipulated some bindings of bound parameters.
	E.g. @(define foo (a)) is called as @(foo "bar") and internally
	it rebinds bound parameter a to "baz". This situation is
	not a mismatch. The rebinding is thrown away.

	* match.c (match_files): When processing a function call,
	keep an alist which associates arguments and unbound parameters.
	Then, after the function call, process the alist, rather
	than the full parameter list.

2009-10-06  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Semantics change: collect fails if it does not collect
	anything. Non-failing behavior can be obtained by
	wrapping with @(maybe) (but no such workaround for coll yet).

	* match.c (match_line): Return nil if coll collected nothing.
	(match_files): Return nil if collect collected nothing.


2009-10-06  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Bugfix: nil must be on the list of interned symbols.

	* lib.c (sym_name): Function removed. This was like
	symbol_name but did not accept nil.
	(intern): Use symbol_name instead of sym_name, allowing
	nil to be on the list of interned symbols.
	(obj_init): Add nil to interned_syms list.
	(nil_string): Changed from "NIL" to "nil".
	* match.c (dest_bind): Treat nil as a value, not a symbol.
	(match_files): Treat nil as a value when it's
	a function argument.

2009-10-06  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	* gc.c (more): Bugfix: free_tail was incorectly calculated,
	thereby destroying the validity of the FIFO recycling algorithm
	used when GC debugging is enabled. This showed up as mysterious
	assertions and crashes.
	(mark_obj): Do not abort if a free object is marked.
	(mark_mem_region): Renamed bottom and top variables to low
	and high. The naming was confusing inverted relative
	to that in the caller.
	(sweep): Abort if somehow a block is free and marked reachable.

2009-10-06  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	* match.c (match_files): Fixed nonexitent symbol warning for merge
	directive (complained about wrong symbol).

2009-10-05  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Refactoring matching code.

	* lib.h (cobj_ops): New function pointer, mark.
	* gc.c (mark_obj): For a COBJ type, call the mark function
	if the pointer is non-null.
	(gc_mark): New public function, wrapper that calls
	the private mark_obj. Implementations of mark for COBJ
	objects will need to call this.
	* gc.h (mark_obj): Declared.
	* regex.c (regex_obj_ops): Explicitly initialize mark function pointer
	 to null.

2009-10-05  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Code restructuring.

	* Makefile (match.o): New object file.
	(depend): New rule for generating dep.mk, using txr.
	(lib.o, lex.yy.o, regex.o, y.tab.o unwind.o, txr.o, match.o, gc.o):
	Dependency rules removed.
	* dep.mk: New make include file; captures dependencies. Generated
	by new depend rule in Makefile, using txr.
	* depend.txr: Txr query to generate dependencies.
	* extract.y: File renamed to parser.y
	(output_produced): Variable removed,
	moved into new file match.c.
	(dump_shell_string, dump_shell_string, dump_var, dump_bindings, depth,
	weird_merge, map_leaf_lists, dest_bind, eval_form, match_line,
	format_field, subs_vars, complex_open, complex_open_failed,
	complex_close, complex_snarf, robust_length, bind_car, bind_cdr,
	extract_vars, extract_bindings, do_output_line, do_output,
	match_files, extract): Functions removed, added to match.c.
	(struct fpip): Definition removed, added to match.c
	(<stdlib.h>, <string.h>, <ctype.h>, <errno.h>, <setjmp.h>,
	"gc.h", "unwind.h"): Unneeded headers removed.
	* match.c: New file.
	* extract.l: Renamed to parser.l.
	* extract.h: Renamed to parser.h.
	(opt_loglevel, opt_nobindings, opt_arraydims, version, progname):
	Declarations moved to txr.h.
	(extract): Dclaration moved to match.h.
	* txr.h, match.h: New headers.
	* gc.h (opt_gc_debug): Moved to txr.h.

	Support for query-defined functions.

	* extract.l (yybadtoken): New DEFINE case.
	(NESTED): New flex start condition.  This allows for different lexing
	rules in nested lists, so even though for instance @(collect) is a
	special token @((collect)) isn't.
	(grammar): Refactored with NESTED.
	Tokenize define directive.
	* extract.y (define_transform): New function.
	(DEFINE): New token kind.

2009-10-02  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Misc. bugfixes and improvements.

	* extract.l (grammar): Newline in a directive
	no longer an error. Why not allow it.
	* extract.y (grammar): Productions for catching empty bodies in some
	constructs now end with END newl, rather
	than just END, so parsing can continue sanely.
	(match_lines): In diagnostics, don't say "ignored" about material which
	causes an error that fails the query!
	* lib.c (mkstring): Initialize length since we know it!
	(c_str): Take a symbol as an arg, so we don't have
	to keep writing c_str(symbol_name(sym)).
	(obj_print): Use isprint rather than isctrl to decide
	whether to print a character as an escape.
	(snarf_line): Properly handle EOF in the middle of line.

2009-09-29  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Version 013

	Some minor garbage collection issues fixed.

	Infinite looping bug fixed.

	New @(trailer) directive.

	* extract.y (match_files): Implemented trailer directive.
	* extract.l (version): Bump to 013.
	* lib.h (trailer): Declaration added.
	* lib.c (trailer): External definition added.
	(obj_init): Initializer trailer with interned symbol.
	* txr.1: Documented @(trailer) and bumped version to 013.

2009-09-29  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Looping bug fixed. Certain directives could cause an infinite
	loop if the query has run out of data.

	* extract.y (match_files): The semantics of the first_file_parsed
	argument changes a little bit. Previously, if nil was passed,
	a new lazy stream would be opened for the first file.
	But this is ambiguous because nil also means empty list;
	sometimes when we recurse into match_files, the data has ran
	out and this argument is thus nil. Now, that argument must be
	the symbol t in order to mean ``open the first file''.
	If the argument is nil, it unambiously means ``we are at the end of the
	current file; don't open anything''.
	(extract): The initial call to match_files now passes
	the symbol t for the first_file_parsed argument.

2009-09-29  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Fixing some gc issues. The test cases were found to bomb
	with an assertion when run with --gc-debug enabled,
	due to a garbage-collected object still being used.
	This was due to the way the main function was structured.

	Also, the stack ``top'' terminology in the gc was stupidly wrong. Leaf
	function frames are at the stack top, and main is near the bottom.
	I was thinking of the ``top caller''.

	* Makefile (TXR_DBG_OPTS): New variable.
	Tests are now run with --gc-debug, which makes them slower,
	but has much greater chance of trapping gc problems.
	* extract.l (main): Two variables are now used for determining the
	stack bottom. We don't know in which order the compiler
	places local variables into a stack frame.  (This is a separate
	question from that of the direction of stack growth).
	The call to the init function is now done right away.
	The argument processing section of main does some processing
	with GC objects, but the init function was being called afterward,
	before the list of interned symbols is protected from garbage
	collection! So with --gc-debug turned on, parts of the interned
	symbol list were being garbage collected (since the variable
	has not yet been added to the set of root pointers, which is
	done in the init function).  Also, the use of an unknown --long-option
	is diagnosed properly now.
	* gc.c (gc_stack_top): Renamed to gc_stack_bottom, and converted from
	extern to static.
	(mark): Follows rename of gc_stack_top to gc_stack_bottom.
	(sweep): Eliminated the freed variable for counting freed objects,
	and the associated debug message, which was not useful.
	Commented why the free list is managed differently when dbg
	is turned on.
	(gc_init): New function.
	* gc.h (gc_stack_top): Declaration removed.
	(gc_init): Declaration added.
	* lib.c (min): New macro.
	(init): Takes two additional arguments which are used to
	determine the stack bottom. The function first determiens
	whether the stack grows up or down. Then it takes the
	greater or smaller of the two potential stack top pointers,
	based on that. The result is passed go gc_init.
	* lib.h (init): Declaration updated.

2009-09-28  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Version 012

	Semantics change of @(until) in @(collect) and @(coll).

	Minor fixes.

	* extract.y (match_line, match_files): The until clauses
	continue to be processed after the main clauses of the collect
	or coll (to see the bindings), but are processed before
	the collection occurs, so that the until will veto
	the bindings of the last iteration.  Moreover, the data
	positions stays where it is when this happens, and no
	arrangement is made to match the until material again.

	* txr.1: Tried to document the change.


2009-09-27  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	* txr.1: following proofread, fixed various escaping problems and
	instances of missing text.

2009-09-26  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	* lib.c (equal): Bugfixes: wrong fallthrough of FUN case.
	VEC case must return nil, not break.

2009-09-26  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Preparation for some sorting support.

	* extract.y (merge): Renamed to weird_merge.
	(map_leaf_lists): New functino.
	(match_file): Follow weird_merge rename.
	* lib.c (all_satisfy, none_satisfy, string_lt, do_bind2other,
	bind2other, merge, do_sort, sort): New functions.
	* lib.h (all_satsify, none_satisfy, string_lt,
	bind2other, sort): Declared.

2009-09-25  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	Version 011

	New @(maybe) clause optionally matches (does not fail if none of
	its clauses match anything).

	New blocks feature: allows a query or subquery to be
	abruptly terminated by invoking an exit to a named or anonymous
	block. @(collect) and @(skip) have implicit anonymous blocks now.

	The @(skip) directive takes a numeric argument now, which limits
	how many lines are searched.

	* Makefile, extract.l, extract.y, extract.h, gc.c, gc.h, lib.c, lib.h,
	regex.c, regex.h, txr.1, unwind.c, unwind.h: Copyright notice and
	license text updated or added, and version bumped up to 011.
	* tests/001/query-1.txr, tests/001/query-2.txr, tests/001/query-3.txr,
	tests/002/query-1.txr: Assigned to public domain.

2009-09-25  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	New features:
	- named blocks;
	- maybe clause;
	- optional iteration bound on skip.

	* extract.y: includes added: "unwind.h", <setjmp.h>.
	(MAYBE, OR): New grammar tokens.
	(maybe_clause): New nonterminal grammar symbol.
	(expr): A NUMBER can be an expression now, so that @(skip 42)
	is valid syntax.
	(match_files): Support for numeric argument in skip directive

	Stability fixes.

	* extract.y (match_files): Fixed invalid string("-") to
	string(chk_strdup("-")) which caused a freeing of
	a non-malloced string at gc finalization time.
	* regex.c (nfa_state_shallow_free): New function: does not
	free satellite objects, just the structure itself.
	(nfa_combine): Use nfa_state_shallow_free instead of nfa_state_free,
	because the merged state inherits ownership of objects from the state
	being spliced out.
	(nfa_state_set): Fix lack of initialization of s.visited member of the
	state structure.

	Version 010

	A file specs can start with $, which means read a directory.

	Data sources are not into memory at once, but on demand,
	which can reduce memory for many queries.

	Regular expressions are now compiled once, when the
	query is parsed.

	Character escapes are now supported in regular expressions,
	and as a special syntax.

	* extract.l (version): Bumped to 010.
	(grammar): 8 and 9 are not octal digits; handle all regex
	backslash escaping in lexical grammar.
	* extract.y (grammar): Get rid of backslash handling from
	regex grammar. Lexer returns a REGCHAR for every escaped
	item. In situations where an operator character is implicily
	literal, like * in a character class, we use the grammar
	to include that alongside REGCHAR. Bugfixes: the character ], when not
	closing a class, is not a syntax error but stands for itself;
	the character - stands for itself outside of character class;
	the | character is literal in a character class.
	* txr.1: Updated version. Documented character escapes.

	Lazy stream list improvement: no extra NIL element caused
	by end-of-file. Requires push-back support in streams.
	To avoid introducing a new structure member into streams,
	we extend the semantics of the label member, and rename
	it to label_pushback.

	* lib.c (stdio_line_stream, pipe_line_stream,
	dirent_stream): Follow rename of struct stream member;
	assert that label is an atom.
	(stream_get): Check pushback stack first and get item from there.
	(stream_pushback): New function.
	(lazy_stream_func): Pull one more item from the stream and
	use /that/ to decide whether to continue the lazy stream.
	The extra item is pushed back, if valid.
	(lazy_stream_cons): Simplified: no hack involving regular cons. Starts
	the induction by peeking into the stream. If something is there, it is
	pushed back, and a lazy cons is constructed which will fetch it.
	(obj_print): Made aware of the pushback, which must be skipped
	to get to the terminating label.
	* lib.h (struct stream): Member renamed from label to label_pushback.
	(stream_pushback): New function declaration.

	Escape syntax in regexes, and text. The
	standard seven character escapes are supported,
	namely \a, \b, \t, \n, \v, \f, and \r,
	as well as hex and octal escapes, plus
	the code \e for ASCII ESC.

	* extract.l (char_esc, num_esc): New functions.
	(grammar): New lex cases.
	* lib.c (obj_print): Support all character escapes in printing.
	Bugfix: backslash printed as two backslashes, not one.

2009-09-23  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	* tests/002/query-1.txr: Modified to use $ to scan thread
	subdirectories.
	* tests/002/query-1.expected: Updated.

2009-09-23  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	New COBJ type for wrapping arbitrary C objects into the
	Lisp-like framework. Compiled regexes are objects now.
	Regexes in a query are now compiled just once.

	* extract.y (grammar): Regexes compiled while parsing.
	(match_line): Modify with respect to the abstract syntax
	tree change, and the interface changes in the match_regex,
	and search_regex functions.
	* gc.c (mark_obj, finalize): Handle marking and finalization
	of COBJ objects.
	* lib.c (typeof, equal, obj_print): Handle COBJ.
	(cobj, cobj_print_op): New functions.
	* lib.h (type_t): New enum element, COBJ.
	(struct cobj, struct subj_ops): New types.
	(union obj): New member, co.
	(cobj, cobj_print_op): New functions declared.
	* regex.c (regex_equal, regex_destroy, regex_compile, regex_nfa): New
	functions.
	(regex_obj_ops): New static struct.
	(search_regex, match_regex): Interface change. Regex arguments
	are now compiled regexes. Functions won't handle raw regexes.
	* regex.h (regex_compile, regex_nfa): New functions declared.

2009-09-23  Kaz Kylheku  <kkylheku@gmail.com>

	New feature: file specs that start with $ read directories.
	Reading from an ``ls'' pipe is too slow.

	Streams and lazy conses implemented. Lazy conses allow us to treat a
	file or other kind of stream exactly as if it were a list.
	We can use car and cdr, etc. But only the parts of the list
	that we actually touch are instantiated on-the-fly by
	reading from the underlying stream.

	* extract.l: inclusion of <dirent.h> added.
	* extract.l: inclusion of <dirent.h> added.
	* extract.y (fpip_closedir): new enumeration in struct fpip,
	and fpip_noclose removed.
	(complex_open): Check for leading $, use opendir.
	(complex_open_failed): New function.
	(complex_close): Handle fpip_closedir case. Not closing
	stdin and stdout is handled by explicit comparison now.
	(complex_snarf): New function, constructs stream of
	a suitable type, over object returned from complex_close,
	wraps it in a lazy list.
	(match_files): Use complex_snarf instead of snarf to get a lazy list.
	* gc.c: Handle LCONS and STREAM cases.
	* lib.c (stream_t, lcons_t): New variables holding symbols.
	(typeof, equal, obj_print): Handle LCONS and STREAM.
	(car, cdr, car_l, cdr_l, consp, atom, listp): Rewritten to handle
	LCONS.
	(chk_strdup, stdio_line_read, stdio_line_write, stdio_close
	stdio_line_stream, pipe_close, pipe_line_stream,
	dirent_read, dirent_close, dirent_stream,
	stream_get, stream_put, stream_close,
	make_lazycons, lazy_stream_func, lazy_stream_cons): New functions.
	(stdio_line_stream_ops, pipe_line_stream_ops,
	dirent_stream_ops): New static structs.
	(obj_init): Intern new symbols lstream, lcons, and dir.
	* lib.h (type_t): New enum members STREAM and LCONS.
	(struct stream, struct stream_ops, struct lazy_cons): New types.
	(union obj): New members sm and lc.
	(chk_strdup, stdio_line_stream, pipe_line_stream,
	dirent_stream, stream_get, stream_put, stream_close,
	lazy_stream_cons): New function declarations.
	* regex.c: inclusion of <dirent.h> added
