This replaces the hardwired ANSI escape codes that were accidentally included
in a previous patch.
This adds a dependency on terminfo, but this should be unproblematic, since
haskeline already depends on the same underlying C library.
The color highlighting is omitted on Windows.
Included renamings:
SourceGrammar -> Grammar
SourceModule -> Module
SourceModInfo -> ModuleInfo
emptySourceGrammar -> emptyGrammar
Also introduces a type synonym (which might be good to turn into a newtype):
type ModuleName = Ident
The reason is to make types like the following more self documenting:
type Module = (ModuleName,ModuleInfo)
type QIdent = (ModuleName,Ident)
IOE used to be a monad with extra error handling built on top of the IO monad,
But the IO monad already supports error handling, so this construction was a
superfluous.
The new 'instance ErrorMonad IOE' is defined to preserve the previous error
handling behaviour, i.e. the function 'handle' only catches errors thrown with
'raise' (or 'fail') and not other errors in the IO monad.
* The following modules are no longer used and have been removed completely:
GF.Compile.Compute.ConcreteLazy
GF.Compile.Compute.ConcreteStrict
GF.Compile.Refresh
* The STM monad has been commented out. It was only used in
GF.Compile.SubExpOpt, where could be replaced with a plain State monad,
since no error handling was needed. One of the functions was hardwired to
the Err monad, but did in fact not use error handling, so it was turned
into a pure function.
* The function errVal has been renamed to fromErr (since it is analogous to
fromMaybe).
* Replaced 'fail' with 'raise' and 'return ()' with 'done' in a few places.
* Some additional old code that was already commented out has been removed.
The module src/compiler/GF.hs now serves as a prelimiary compiler API. It just
exports a selection of functions and types from the compiler.
Haddock documentation can be generated with
cabal haddock --hyperlink-source
Also bumbed the version number to 3.6.10.
(1) introduces the module GF.Infra.Concurreny with lifted concurrency
operators (to reduce uses of liftIO) and some additional concurrency
utilities, e.g. a function for sequential logging that is used in
both GF.CompileInParallel and GFServer.
(2) avoids leaving broken .gfo files behind if compilation is aborted.
On my laptop these changes speed up the full build of the RGL and example
grammars with 'cabal build' from ~95s to ~43s and the zero build from ~18s
to ~5s.
The main change is the introduction of the module GF.CompileInParallel that
replaces GF.Compile and the function GF.Compile.ReadFiles.getAllFiles. At
present, it is activated with the new -j flag, and it is only used when
combined with --make or --batch. In addition, to get parallel computations,
you need to add GHC run-time flags, e.g., +RTS -N -A20M -RTS, to the command
line.
The Setup.hs script has been modified to pass the appropriate flags to GF
for parallel compilation when compiling the RGL and example grammars, but you
need a recent version of Cabal for this to work (probably >=1.20).
Some additonal refactoring were made during this work. A new monad is used to
avoid warnings/error messages from different modules to be intertwined when
compiling in parallel, so some functios that were hardiwred to the IO or IOE
monads have been lifted to work in arbitrary monads that are instances in
the appropriate classes.
I prefer small functions with descriptive names over large monilithic chunks
of code, so I grouped the compiler passes called from compileSourceModule
into funcitons named frontend, middle and backend. This also makes decisions
about which passes to run clearly visible up front.
Also made some small changes in GF.Compile.
In particular, the function compileOne has been moved to the new module
GF.CompileOne and its type has been changed from
compileOne :: ... -> CompileEnv -> FilePath -> IOE CompileEnv
to
compileOne :: ... -> SourceGrammar -> FilePath -> IOE OneCompiledModule
making it more suitable for use in a parallel compiler.
