Log message:
Update to Chicken Scheme 4.7.0.6
Requested by Aleksej Lebedev in private mail.
Changes since 4.7.0:
4.7.0.6
The stability (-st) branch is now the official branch for point
releases, so the -st suffix has been retired.
- Security fixes
- on 64-bit machines the "random" procedure no longer truncates result
values (which caused very nonrandom results for very large values).
Note that random shouldn't be used for security-critical code.
- Core libraries
- tcp-connect now closes socket on connection timeout
[thanks to Jorg Wittenberger].
- Ensure srfi-13 string comparison returns a boolean, fix bugs in
xsubstring and string-xcopy!, and add a test suite.
- Fix off-by-one error in pending finalizer code which could lead to crash.
- Exceptions signalled by code that executes in finalizers will now
be caught and do not propagate upwards into arbitrary user code.
4.7.0.5-st
- Build system
- LLVM gcc and clang can now be used to compile the system. Previously,
building with LLVM produced binaries that would hang and use 100% CPU.
Fixes compatibility with OS X 10.6 and later.
- Core libraries
- symbols with a single-char print-name were not always properly escaped
when printed readably (#772)
4.7.0.4-st
- Core libraries
- "with-input-from-file", "with-output-to-file", \
"with-input-from-pipe" and
"with-output-to-pipe" now properly restore the standard input/output
ports in case the body thunk escapes
- Build system
- Fixes for port tests
- C_TARGET_INCLUDE_HOME fix for cygwin
4.7.0.3-st
- Core libraries
- fixed bug in reading of octal escape in string literal
- Compiler
- fixed erroneous optimization of toplevel assignments in the presence
of conditionals (found by Paul Colby and Mario Domenench Goulart).
For example, this had printed "undefined" and now prints \
"good":
(define A #t)
(define B 'undefined)
(if A
(set! B 'good)
(set! B 'bad))
(print B)
4.7.0.2-st
- Core libraries
- port-procedures now check correctly for argument-ports being open
(thanks to Peter Bex)
- fixed irregex overlapping charsets problem (#636)
- Runtime system
- fixed handling of "inf" floating-point predicate for Solaris
(thanks to Claude Marinier)
- Core tools
- "chicken-profile"
- fixed broken percentage calculation (thanks to "megane")
- Compiler
- the "-uses" option handles whitespace in unit lists given on the
command line (thanks to Santosh Rajan)
4.7.0.1-st
- Build system
- The default target library name for an installation configured for cross-
compilation is now "libchicken" and independent on any particular
setting of PROGRAM_PREFIX/PROGRAM_SUFFIX (thanks to Otavio Salvador)
- Compiler
- Fixed incorrect optimization rules for some fp-rounding and fixnum operators
- Unused arguments in callback wrappers were incorrectly optimized away (#584)
- Core libraries
- Fixed bugs in "make-pathname" and "normalize-pathname" \
(thanks to Jim Ursetto)
- The reader is now more consistent when parsing symbol- and keyword names
that are fully or partially escaped (thanks to Kon Lovett)
- Fixed a bug in the Windows implementation of "file-type" (thanks to
Jim Ursetto)
- Fixed a bug in the implementation of "current-milliseconds" that could
result in integer-overflow
- Fixed an incorrect type-check in "list-ref" (thanks to Sven Hartrumpf)
- Fixed bug in "string->number" that caused out-of-range characters to
be accepted for base > 10 (thanks to Jim Ursetto)
- Foreign function interface
- "int32" was not properly detected as a valid foreign type (thanks
to Jim Ursetto)
- Syntax expander
- Fixed a bug in the processing of extended lambda-lists (thanks to Peter Bex)

Update Chicken to version 4.7.0
Provided by Peter Bex on IRC.
Changes in 4.7.0
- Build system
- On BSD, libchicken.so is linked with -lpthread, as this seems
to be required for linking libraries that require pthreads
- The C header-files are now installed in a subdirectory below
the "PRFIX/include" directory to allow installation of multiple
chickens with different PROGRAM_PREFIX/PROGRAM_SUFFIX settings
in the same prefix; to avoid conflicts with existing CHICKEN
headers, it is recommended to completely remove any old
installation before installing the new version
- the PROGRAM_PREFIX and PROGRAM_SUFFIX configuration settings
are applied to generated files and directories which allows
perform differently named installations into the same PREFIX
- increaded binary-compatibility version from 5 to 6, which
means installed extensions in an existing installations will
have to be re-installed
- bugfixes in mingw/msys makefiles
- Sven Hartrumpf contributed a bugfix to the internal helper
script for creating distribution directories
- Peter Bex has cleaned up the makefiles heavily, making the
build more maintainable and easier to modify; thanks to all
who helped testing this new build
- renamed the makefile to `GNUmakefile' to catch using the
a make(3) other than GNU make
- configuration-header fix for BSD systems (thanks to Peter Bex
and Christian Kellermann)
- Core libraries
- the `regex' library unit has been removed and is separately
available as an extension which should be fully backwards-
compatible
- `irregex' is now a core library unit and replaces the `regex' API
- "extras" unit
- fixed pretty-printer output of certain escaped character
sequences inside strings (thanks to Mario Domenech Goulart,
thanks to Kon Lovett for pointing out a missing test-file)
- The pretty printer did not escape some control characters correctly
(reported by Alan Post)
- control-characters in symbol-names are now properly escaped if
the symbol is printed readably (thanks to Alaric Snell-Pym
for pointing this out)
- the deprecated `random-seed' function has been removed
- "files" unit
- fixed bug in `normalize-pathname'
- `file-copy' and `file-move' check whether the source-file is a
directory
- `delete-directory' now optionally deletes directories recursively
- "irregex" unit
- Peter Bex has contributed various bugfixes and performance
enhancements
- "library" unit
- Added "condition->list" (thanks to Christian Kellermann)
- The reader accepts now escaped octal character codes in string
literals
- Read-syntax can return zero values to indicate ignored objects
- R5RS output output routines now always return a "void" result
- "\|" was not correctly escaped when occurring inside
symbol print names
- added `condition->list', contributed by Christian Kellermann
- added `equal=?'
- removed deprecated `getenv', `left-section', `right-section',
`project', `c-runtime' and `noop'
- added missing import-library entry for `vector-copy!' (thanks
to Jules Altfas)

useful error message when encountered by `equal?'
- `list-tail' gives now a better error message when passed a
non-list argument

- removed deprecated `global-bound?', `global-make-unbound',
`global-ref' and `global-set!' procedures
- added support for `pointer-vectors':
- make-pointer-vector
- pointer-vector?
- pointer-vector-length
- pointer-vector-ref
- pointer-vector-set!
- "posix" unit
- "close-input-pipe" did not return the status code of a
terminated process on Windows (reported by Mario Domenech Goulart)
- added `file-creation-mode' (suggested by Mario Domenech Goulart)
- "setup-api" unit
- `required-extension-version' and `required-chicken-version' have
been deprecated
- "srfi-18" unit
- removed deprecated `milliseconds->time' and `time->milliseconds'
procedures
- `make-mutex' incorrectly created mutexes as initially owned by
the current threads (thanks to Joerg Wittenberger)
- the file-descriptor handling in the scheduler has been simplified
and performs some sanity checks
- deadlock in the scheduler now terminates the process instead of
attempting to throw an error
- added some sanity checks to the scheduler
- "tcp" unit
- Fixed bug in "tcp-abandon-port" (reported by Jim Ursetto)
- "utils" unit
- `compile-file' now returns `#f' when the compilation fails,
instead of raising an error

automatically consulted for extensions and used units
- Fixed optimizer bug in handling of "let" forms with multiple
bindings which could result in toplevel assignments being
silently dropped (reported by Moritz Heidkamp)

module
- removed check for unsafe toplevel calls in safe mode
- intrinsic handling of `exact->inexact' and `string->number' is

block-mode
- fixed incorrect lambda-list check in scrutinizer (thanks to
Alan Post)
- Kon Lovett reported numerous bugs in the type-database used
by the scrutinizer
- `-fwrapv' is disabled on OpenBSD, since the default compiler
does not support this option (thanks to Christian Kellermann)
- on Solaris `gcc' is used by default, override `C_COMPILER'
to use the Sun compiler instead
- declaring a function `notinline' will prevent direct-call
optimization for known procedure calls
- the implementation of overflow-detection for arithmetic operations
on fixnums have been replaced and now allow using the full 63-bit
range of fixnums on 64-bit systems
- fixed serious inlining-bug (thanks to Sven Hartrumpf)
- constant-folding in the compiler has been simplified and
is more reliable (thanks to Sven Hartrumpf)
- optimization-levels 3 and higher imply `-unboxing -inline-global'
- added new declaration `unsafe-specialized-arithmetic' which allows
optimizing unboxed floating-point arithmetic in safe mode
- removed `scrutinize' declaration

and provided a low-level API in the `lolevel' library unit for
manipulating pointer vectors
- Runtime system
- Fixed typo in "runtime.c" (thanks to Sven Hartrumpf)
- Little-endian detection on MIPS systems was not correct (thanks
to Christian Kellermann)
- Fixed bug in handling of runtime-options with arguments (also
reported by Christian Kellermann)
- `equal?' does not compare procedures recursively anymore
- fixed incorrect use of alloca.h on OpenBSD (thanks to
Christian Kellermann and Alan Post)

operations, which required various changes to `chicken.h'
to make the code compile in ISO C99 mode
- remaining debris regarding MSVC builds has been removed
- fixed bug in argument-type check for 64-bit integer (thanks
to Kon Lovett)
- increased default trace-buffer size from 10 to 16
- fixed bug in low-level termination routine (thanks to
Jeronimo Pellegrini)
- the scheduler handles violations of internal invariants
regarding threads slightly more gracefully (thanks to Jim

- handled case where a global redefinition of `cons' influenced
a non-inlined internal use in the expander (thanks to David
Steiner)
- `define-record' now allows defining SRFI-17 setter procedures
for accessing slots
- the expansion of DSSSL lambda-lists uses now `let-optionals*'
internally instead of `let-optionals' and so allows
back-references to earlier formal variables; this also results in
faster and more compact code for argument-list destructuring
(thanks to Alan Post)
- new "implicit renaming" macro facility contributed by Peter Bex
(see `ir-macro-transformer')
- record-definitions are now made local to the module in which
they are defined (thanks to Jim Ursetto)
- parameters are now settable and can be modified using `set!'
(SRFI-17)
- added a SRFI-17 setter to `list-ref'

- csi
- the ",m" toplevel command now accepts "#f" to switch \
back to
the initial empty module context (suggested by Christian Kellermann)

Update to Chicken 4.6.0
Contributed by Peter Bex via IRC.
Changes in 4.6.0
- the licenses used in all components of the core system have
been collected in the LICENSE file (Thanks to Peter Bex)
- Added new compiler option `-no-module-registration' which
omits generation of module registration code, even when
generation of import libraries has not been enabled
- running `chicken' without arguments now hints at the
existence of `csi' and `csc'
- `caar', `cdar' and `cddr' generate faster code
- calls to `list', `vector' and the internal structure
allocation primitive that take 1 to 8 arguments generate
faster code
- `chicken-install' now checks the version of the setup
configuration file `setup.defaults'
- added option `-exact' to `chicken-status' and `chicken-uninstall',
which treats the pattern argument as the literal name of the
extension to be listed/deinstalled
- `assert' shows line-number information, if available
(suggested by Alejandro Forero Cuervo)
- interpreted code records the lexical-environment at call-
sites, which can in case of an error be inspected with the
new `,c', `,f' and `,g' csi toplevel commands
- the evaluation-result history in `csi' can be inspected and
cleared (to reduce memory load) with the toplevel commands
`,h' and `,ch'
- unit `data-structures': deprecated `left-section' and
`right-section'
- fixed bug that caused the static syntax-environment of
syntax exported by a module to be incomplete
- module `setup-api': Documented the `version>=?' and
`extension-name-and-version' proceedures
- unit `posix': `utc-time->seconds' is considerably
faster on Mac OS X (thanks to Jim Ursetto);
added new procedure `file-type'
- the `time' macro now shows the correct number of minor
garbage collections
- the immediate-object check inside the marking procedure
of the garbage collector has been manually inlined which
results in a significant GC speedup, depending on memory
load
- unit `srfi-18' and `scheduler': various bugfixes (thanks
to Joerg Wittenberger)
- unit `srfi-4': bugfix in 8-bit vector allocation routines
(thanks to Kon Lovett)
- added `-:H' runtime option to dump heap state on exit
- fixed missing change in Makefile.cygwin (thanks to John Cowan)
- fixed bug in `let-optionals' macro that caused problems when the
rest-variable was actually named `rest' (thanks to Alejandro
Forero Cuervo)
- when Scheme files are translated to C++ or Objective-C, `csc'
will register the feature-identifiers `chicken-scheme-to-c++'/
`chicken-scheme-to-objc' ar compile-time
- fixed bug in expansion of `#!key' parameters in lambda-lists
- debug-output for forcing finalizers on exit goes to stderr now
(thanks to Joerg Wittenberger)
- the installation routines for extensions automatically add
version-number information if none is given in the extension
property list (suggested by Alejandro Forero Cuervo)
- `standard-extension' accepts `#f' now for the version number
and will use the version that has been obtained via
`chicken-install'
- `fifo?', `symbolic-link?', `directory?', `regular-file?', `socket?',
`character-device?' and `block-device?' now accepts file-descriptors
or filenames
- `find-files' takes keyword arguments, now (including the options

signature is still supported but deprecated
- removed dependency on `symbol-append' in some macros used in
srfi-4.scm to be able to compile the system with older chickens
- fixed bug in script that generates development snapshot
- added build-variable `TARGET_FEATURES', which can be used to pass
extra options enabling or disabling fetures for a system configured
for cross-compilation
- added compiler and interpreter option `-no-feature FEATURENAME' that
disables predefined feature identifiers
- code compiled with interrupts disabled will not emit inline files
for global inlining since they may execute in a context where
interrupts are enabled
- the `setup.defaults' file that holds download sources for
`chicken-install' now allows aliases for locations
- CHICKEN systems build from cross-compilation now by default
transparently build and install extensions for both the host
and target parts of the cross-compilation setup; the options
`-host' and `-target' can now be used to selectively build
an extensions for the host- and the target system, respectively
- also added `-host' and `-target' options to `chicken-status' and
`chicken-uninstall'
- `chicken-install' now respects the `http_proxy' environment variable
(contributed by Stephen Eilert)

reader also reports the starting line of the sequence
- the reader signals an error when a file contains certain characters
that indicate that it is a binary file
- procedure-information shown by the printer for procedures is now
corrected for some library procedures that where missing the correct
information; `getter-with-setter' copies procedure-information objects
into the newly created accessor procedure, if available

the procedures are called with side-effect free arguments and the
result is not used (this can also by enabled for user procedures with
the `constant' declaration)

apply now with any expression as the procedure argument
- the compiler warns about non-intrinsic exported toplevel variables
which are declared to be safe
- `csc' didn't handle the `-verbose' option (thanks to Mario Goulart)
- the `,d' command in `csi' now detects circular lists (thanks to
Christian Kellermann)

0-terminated C strings are now checked for not containing embedded
`\0' characters (thanks to Peter Bex)
- errors in user-defined record printers are caught and shown in the
output instead of throwing an error to avoid endless recursion when
an error message is printed
- a feature identifier named `chicken-MAJOR.MINOR' is now defined
to simplify conditionalization of code on the CHICKEN version
- `getter-with-setter' copies the lambda-information (if available) from
the getter to the generated procedure
- `time' uses a somewhat more concise output format and outputs timing
information to stderr instead of stdout
- added a new chapter on cross-development to the manual
- added the `safe-globals' declaration specifier
- split up manual chapter `Modules and macros' into two chapters
(named `Modules' and `Macros', respectively - suggested by
Mario Goulart)

- added a `bench' makefile target that runs some non-trivial
benchmark programs
- added `install-target' and `install-dev' makefile target for
installing only target system libraries in cross-mode and
development files (static libraries and headers)
- added `[-]no-procedure-checks-for-toplevel-bindings' compiler
option and declaration
- usage of unimported syntax in modules gives more usable
error messages; in particular, used but unimported FFI forms are
now detected
- invalid syntactic forms (mostly `()') encountered by the compiler
or interpreter show the contextual form containing the expression,
or, if indicated by the context warns about missing imports
- simplified manual pages of all core tools - they now refer to
the output shown by invoking `<tool> -help'
- added new option `-feature FEATURE' to `chicken-install' tool
to pass feature-identifiers to invocations of `csc'
- removed deprecated `-host-extension' option from `chicken-install'
- `chicken-status' in a system built for cross-compilation now
lists extensions installed in the target prefix, unless the
new `-host' option is given on the command line
- `chicken-uninstall' in a system built for cross-compilation now
removes extensions installed in the target prefix, unless the
new `-host' option is given on the command line
- added missing entry for `finite?' to the `chicken' module
exports
- added new procedure `port-closed?' to the `library' unit
(contributed by Peter Bex)
- added new procedure `symbol-append' to the library unit
- the compiler-option `-optimize-level 0' is equivalent to
`-no-compiler-syntax -no-usual-integrations`
- internal rewritings of `map' and `for-each' ensure correct
evaluation order of the arguments and does a better job
at detecting non-list arguments (thanks to Jim Ursetto)
- `void' now takes arbitrary arguments and ignores them
- deprecated `noop' (from the `data-structures' unit) which
is now replaced by `void'
- the `time' macro now performs a major garbage collection
before executing the contained expressions and writes
the timings in a more compact format to the port given
by `(current-error-port)' instead of the standard output
port
- definitions of the form `(define define ...)' and
`(define-syntax define-syntax ...)' now trigger an error,
as required by R5RS (thanks to Jeronimo Pellegrini and Alex

is identical to `randomize'
- added new procedure `create-temporary-directory' to the
`files' unit
- deprecated the optional path separator argument to
`make-pathname'
- slightly improved the performance of keyword argument
processing
- removed the deprecated `canonical-path' and `current-environment'
procedures from the `posix' unit
- warnings that mostly refer to programming style issues are
now coined `notes' and are only shown in the interpreter
or when debug-mode is enabled or when scrutiny is enabled
when compiling

Log message:
Update to Chicken 4.5.0.
Submitted by Peter Bex on IRC.
Changes in 4.5.0
- internal fixes of handling of alternative installation-prefix
in setup-api
- certain compiler-warnings that are in really just notes
and don't indicate a possible error (like reimport of
identifiers) are only shown with -S or in verbose mode
- fixed handling of VARDIR in `chicken-install' (thanks to
Davide Puricelli)
- `chicken-install -test' doesn't runs tests for dependencies
- when a non-else clause follows an else-clause in `cond',
`case' or `select' a warning (note) is shown in verbose
mode
- removed the deprecated `define-extension' and
`define-compiled-syntax'
- `chicken-uninstall' now always asks before removing
extensions, unless `-force' is given
- improved performance of keyword-argument processing slightly
- `export' outside of a module definition has no effect
- `number->string' now accepts arbitrary bases between 2 and 16
(thanks to Christian Kellermann)
- fixed `standard-extension' in `setup-api' module
- literal constants keep their identity, even when inlined
- Unit library: added `fxodd?' and `fxeven?'
- All hardcoded special forms have been replaced with
syntax definitions that expand into internal forms, this
allows redefinition and shadowing of all Scheme core forms
- faster implementations of `get' and `put!'
- faster implementation of `assq' in unsafe mode
- the `-sx' option prefixes each output line with `;'
- slightly better expansion performance
- more documentation of the C API (thanks to Peter Bex)
- `module' supports a shorthand form that refers directly
to a file to be included as the module body
- added runtime option `-:G' to force GUI mode (on platforms
that distinguish between GUI and non-GUI applications)
- removed the unsafe runtime library (`libuchicken'), this
simplifies and speeds up the build and reduces the risk
of executables loading library units from different
variants of the runtime system
- removed the `-unsafe-libraries' option from `chicken'
and `csc'
- removed bootstrapping target and bootstrapping files from
development repository; to bootstrap the system, either
use a release or development-snapshot tarball or fetch
a statically linked precompiled `chicken' binary from
http://chicken.wiki.br/chicken-projects/bootstrap/
- Jim Ursetto provided some fixes for building universal
binaries on Mac OS X
- `csc' now compiles and links Windows resource (.rc) files
when given on the command line
- `chicken-install' and `chicken-uninstall' have an embedded
manifest that suppresses the elevation dialog on Windows
Vista and later when UAC is activated (Thanks to Thomas Chust)
- the `install' program is not used in the build on mingw
and mingw/MSYS platforms, since this is broken on older
mingw versions
- line-number-information is now properly handled (in the
few places where it is used) correctly for included files;
the source file is given in trace-output in addition to

Log message:
Update to Chicken 4.4.0.
Contributed by Peter Bex.
New in Chicken 4.4.0:
- the system can now be built with llvm-gcc and/or "clang" (the
LLVM C compiler which doesn't use the GNU C frontend)
- added new option `-trunk' to `chicken-install', which forces
building and installing the development version of extensions
in combination with `-t local'
- added new option `-deploy' to `chicken-install', which builds
extension for use in "deployed" applications (see below)
- added option `-deploy' to `csc', the compiler driver. With this
option `csc' can build fully self-contained application bundles
and double-clickable Macintosh GUI apps; see the "Deployment"
manual chapter for more information
- the directory given to the `-prefix' option of `chicken-install'
may now be a relative pathname.
- removed GUI-specific runtime library (`libchicken-gui') from
Windows build - GUI- and non-GUI applications now use the same
runtime library
- special forms of the foreign-function interface have been replaced
with an internal form and syntax to allow renaming and shadowing of
these forms
- the new `-private-repository' option in `csc' compiles executables
with the extension-repository path set to the directory from which
the program was started
- `csc': deprecated the `-W' and `-windows' options, added `-gui' as
a platform-independent replacement
- `require-extension'/`use' accepts now import-specifications
- user-defined extension-specifiers and `set-extension-specifier!'
have been removed
- `delete-file[*]', `rename-file', `create-directory', `file-copy',
`file-move', `delete-directory' and `change-directory' return their
argument/destination filename on success
- added the missing procedure `condition-variable-name' to the
srfi-18 library unit (Thanks to Joerg Wittenberger)
- the `glob?' function from the `regex' unit has been deprecated
- added the procedure `scan-input-lines' to the `utils' library unit
- added new runtime option `-:g' which enables GC debugging output
- reclamation of unused symbols in "symbol-gc" mode (`-:w') now only
takes place for symbols with an empty property-list
- on Windows loading of code compiled with [non-]GUI runtime libraries
will fail and produce an error message when the loading executable
is linked with a different runtime system
- on Windows, GUI libraries were not correctly linked by `csc'
- unit posix: added setter for `file-modification-time'
- the banner shows the branchname of the build, unless it's "master"
- the `-no-install' option to `chicken-install' is ignored when
building/installing dependencies
- `chicken-uninstall' takes a glob instead of a regular expression as
argument
- the rename and compare functions for low-level macro-definitions
accept now arbitrary s-expressions and renames/compares them recursively
- `number->string' handles negative-numbers with bases different from 10
correctly (thanks to Peter Danenberg)
- removed deprecated `setup-install-flag' and `setup-verbose-flag' from
the `setup-api' module
- added new option `-repository' to `chicken-install' (Thanks to Christian
Kellermann)
- removed `chicken-setup' stub program
- fix to `csc' to use the correct library when fixing dynamic load paths
(Thanks to Derrell Piper)
- removed html documentation from distribution (the wiki manual will
now be installed)
- fixed bug in `reexport' which caused syntax not to be correctly
reexported
- previous assignments to a toplevel variable that are separated by
side effect free expressions are removed
- fixed windows version of `find-files' (thanks to Jim Ursetto)
- documentation for extensions is not installed automatically by
`chicken-install' anymore
- changed binary version from "4" to "5", because the new runtime
libraries are not binary-compatible with previous releases; this
means all eggs have to be reinstalled and existing programs be
recompiled!
- added unboxing pass to compiler which results in partially dramatical
performance improvements for unsafe floating-point-intensive code;
unboxing is enabled on optimization levels 4 and 5
- removed rest-argument-vector optimization as it could conflict
with inlining (thanks to Sven Hartrumpf)
- renamed `pointer-offset' to `pointer+' and deprecated `pointer-offset'
- toplevel assignments that have no other side-effects can be eliminated
if it can be shown that the value is not used (the compiler will
generate a warning in this case)
- removed deprecated `-quiet' option in `chicken' program
- removed deprecated `run-time-macros' declaration
- removed deprecated `-v2' and `-v3' options in `csc' program
- removed deprecated `list-of' function (it is exclusively available
as `list-of?' now)
- removed deprecated `stat-...' functions in posix library unit
- removed deprecated `for-each-line' and `for-each-argv-line' procedures
in utils library unit
- added `fpinteger?' and `fpabs'
- deprecated `define-compiled-syntax'
- added new floating-point primitives `fpsin', `fpcos', `fptan',
`fpasin', `fpacos', `fpatan', `fpatan2', `fpexp', `fplog',
`fpexpt' and `fpsqrt'
- heavy cleanup of floating math functions which gives much better performance,
especially for code compiled in unsafe mode
- calling `assert' with a single argument shows the tested expression
on failure
- various bugfixes and cleaning up

Log message:
Update Chicken to 4.3.0.
Patch provided by Peter Bex.
Changes in 4.3.0:
- removed tracing facility and apply-hook (see the "trace" egg
for a replacement for tracing and breakpoints)
- chicken-install(1): renamed `-host-extension' option to `-host'
- added support for a make(1) configuration file ("config.make")
- `chicken-install' now allows specifiying a proxy for retrieving
extensions over HTTP (thanks to Nicolas Pelletier)
- fixed bug in `cond-expand' that incorrectly renamed feature-identifiers
if the form was the product of a syntax expansion (reported by Thomas
Bushnell)
- import-libraries are only generated by the compiler if they don't exist
yet and if the content has actually changed (this simplifies makefile-
rules in some cases)
- it is now possible to pass a config-file to `make(1)' instead of specifying
all build-options as variables on the command-line (see README)
- removed compiler options for "benchmark-mode" and replaced them with a
new optimization level (5) (note that `-O5' does not imply fixnum mode
anymore)
- `hen.el' and `scheme-complete.el' are not bundled with the core system
anymore - `hen.el' is currently not maintained, and `scheme-complete.el'
has its own release cycle; both files are available, see
http://chicken.wiki.br/emacs
- removed meaningless benchmark suite and cleaned up
- added optional argument to `grep' that allows applying a function
to each matched item (contributed by Tony Sidaway)
- added extension-property `import-only', which makes it possible to
create extensions that have no runtime part
- the argument to `seconds->string', `seconds->utc-time' and
`seconds->local-time' is now optional and defaults to the value
of `(current-seconds)' (suggested by Mario Goulart)
- removed read-syntax for `syntax' form
- fixed bug in `get-condition-property'
- fixed bug in windows version of `process-execute'
- TCP timeouts throw exception of kind `timeout' to allow
distinguishing between timeouts and other errors
- removed some internal functions that manipulate environments
- fixed bugs in `standard-extension' (`setup-api' module) and added keyword
arguments for building static extensions and adding custom properties
- when cross-compiling, `chicken-install(1)' doesn't pass `-setup-mode'
(the host tools should not attempt to load target binaries)
- `installation-prefix' in the `setup-api' module was not always correctly
set
- the `-force' option in `chicken-install(1)' overrides the CHICKEN version
check
- disabled e-mail feature in `chicken-bug(1)', since it doesn't work
anyway, in the moment
- fixed bug in `reexport' that made it impossible to reexport core library
definitions
- fix in optimizer that sometimes caused C functions for inlined
procedures to be emitted multiple times (Thanks to Joerg Wittenberger)
- documented `define-compiler-syntax' and `let-compiler-syntax'
- printer for hash-tables shows current number of stores items
- when upgrading during installation of a dependency `chicken-install'
shows the version to upgrade to (Thanks to Christian Kellermann)
- Updated scheme-complete (Thanks to Alex Shinn)
- fix for pathnames with whitespace in 'runtests.sh' on Windows
- fix for 'normalize-pathname' with absolute pathname argument
- added 'decompose-directory' to unit files
- fix for 'local-timezone-abbreviation' - wasn't using the current time
so tz-name constant
- deprecated 'make-pathname' separator argument
