/* From NEWS:
 *
 * * New primitive: `simple-format', affects `scm-error', scm_display_error, & scm_error message strings
 *
 * (ice-9 boot) makes `format' an alias for `simple-format' until possibly
 * extended by the more sophisticated version in (ice-9 format)
 *
 * (simple-format port message . args)
 * Write MESSAGE to DESTINATION, defaulting to `current-output-port'.
 * MESSAGE can contain ~A (was %s) and ~S (was %S) escapes.  When printed,
 * the escapes are replaced with corresponding members of ARGS:
 * ~A formats using `display' and ~S formats using `write'.
 * If DESTINATION is #t, then use the `current-output-port',
 * if DESTINATION is #f, then return a string containing the formatted text.
 * Does not add a trailing newline."
 *
 * The two C procedures: scm_display_error and scm_error, as well as the
 * primitive `scm-error', now use scm_format to do their work.  This means
 * that the message strings of all code must be updated to use ~A where %s
 * was used before, and ~S where %S was used before.
 *
 * During the period when there still are a lot of old Guiles out there,
 * you might want to support both old and new versions of Guile.
 *
 * There are basically two methods to achieve this.  Both methods use
 * autoconf.  Put
 *
 *   AC_CHECK_FUNCS(scm_simple_format)
 *
 * in your configure.in.
 *
 * Method 1: Use the string concatenation features of ANSI C's
 *           preprocessor.
 *
 * In C:
 *
 * #ifdef HAVE_SCM_SIMPLE_FORMAT
 * #define FMT_S "~S"
 * #else
 * #define FMT_S "%S"
 * #endif
 *
 * Then represent each of your error messages using a preprocessor macro:
 *
 * #define E_SPIDER_ERROR "There's a spider in your " ## FMT_S ## "!!!"
 *
 * In Scheme:
 *
 * (define fmt-s (if (defined? 'simple-format) "~S" "%S"))
 * (define make-message string-append)
 *
 * (define e-spider-error
 *         (make-message "There's a spider in your " fmt-s "!!!"))
 *
 * Method 2: Use the oldfmt function found in doc/oldfmt.c.
 *
 * In C:
 *
 * scm_misc_error ("picnic", scm_c_oldfmt0 ("There's a spider in your ~S!!!"),
 *                 ...);
 *
 * In Scheme:
 *
 * (scm-error 'misc-error "picnic" (oldfmt "There's a spider in your ~S!!!")
 *            ...)
 *
 */

/*
 * Take a format string FROM adhering to the new standard format (~A and ~S
 * as placeholders) of length N and return a string which is adapted
 * to the format used by the Guile interpreter which you are running.
 *
 * On successive calls with similar strings but different storage, the
 * same string with same storage is returned.  This is necessary since
 * the existence of a garbage collector in the system may cause the same
 * format string to be represented with different storage at different
 * calls.

	* r5rs.texi: Use @ifnottex instead of @ifinfo around the "Top"
	node declaration so that html can be generated.  Use only lower
	case inside @sc.  Move editors outside of author table, which
	looks better in html.

2001-08-27  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>

	* Makefile.am (TEXINFO_TEX): Added; avoids shipping multiple copies of
	texinfo.tex in a single distribution.

2001-08-27  Neil Jerram  <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>

	The change log for files in this directory continues backwards
	from 2001-08-27 in ../ChangeLog, as all the Guile documentation
	prior to this date was contained in a single directory.
