* In GHC 8.4.1, the operator <> has become a method of the Semigroup class
and is exported from the Prelude. This is unfortunate, since <> is also
exported from the standard library module Text.PrettyPrint, so in any
module that defines a pretty printer, there is likely to be an ambiguity.
This affects ~18 modules in GF. Solution:
import Prelude hiding (<>)
This works also in older versions of GHC, since GHC does't complain if
you hide something that doesn't exists.
* In GHC 8.4.1, Semigroup has become a superclass of Monoid. This means
that anywhere you define an instance of the Monoid class you also have to
define an instance in the Semigroup class.
This affects Data.Binary.Builder in GF. Solution: conditionally define
a Semigroup instance if compiling with base>=4.11 (ghc>=8.4.1)
+ The PGF service now reads and caches dependency label configuration files.
+ The grammar info returned by command=grammar has a new boolean field
'hasDependencyLabels' to indicate if dependency labels were found for
the grammar. Also, command=deptree will now fail if no labels are present.
+ The minibar only shows word dependency trees if labels are present.
+ Also changed the type of getDepLabels from [String] -> Labels to
String -> Labels, since all uses were in the form "getDepLabels . lines".
This patch fixes a problem introduced last year when the GF shell was
refactored to allow more commands to be treated uniformly and be part
of pipes. The cc command was one of those commands, but unfortunately this
introduced a parsing problem, e.g.
> cc "last"
constant not found: last
> cc "last"++"year"
command not parsed: cc "last"++"year"
This happened because the generic command line parser in
GF.Command.{Abstract,Parse} assumes that all commands have an argument of
type PGF.Expr. Commands that expect other types of arguments have to
use PGF.showExpr combined with other conversion to the argument type they
expect. The cc command excpets a GF.Grammar.Term, and unfortunately not
all terms survice the roundtrip through PGF.Expr, in part because of
an additional hack to allow strings to be roundtripped through PGF.Expr
without adding superfluous double quotes.
To solve the problem, this patch
+ makes room for arguments of type Term in the Argument type in
GF.Command.Abstract.
+ makes a special case for the cc command in GF.Command.Parse, by
calling the partial parser 'runPartial pTerm' recently added in
GF.Grammar.Lexer and GF.Grammar.Parser. Care was taken so that
that "|" and ";" can be used both inside terms and as separators between
commands in the shell, e.g. things like the following now work:
> cc ("a"|"b") | ps -lexcode
variants { "a" ; "b" }
+ introduces a type CommandArgument that replaces [Expr] as the
type of values passed between commands in pipes. It has room for
values of type [Expr], [String] and Term, thus eliminating the need
to roundtrip through the Expr type all the time.
The hack to avoid adding superfluous quotes when strings are
roundtripped through Expr has been left in place for now,
but can probably be removed.
This is implemented as a simple post-processing step after partial evaluation
to try compute pre{...} tokens in token sequences. Nothing is done to deal
with intervening free variants.
This was done in response to a query from René T on the gf-dev mailing list.
