The def rules are now compiled to byte code by the compiler and then to
native code by the JIT compiler in the runtime. Not all constructions
are implemented yet. The partial implementation is now in the repository
but it is not activated by default since this requires changes in the
PGF format. I will enable it only after it is complete.
When using full=yes in the web service 'complete' command,
you now get an additional field 'seq' with the longest possible completion.
So, given:
lin
f1 = ss "the" ;
f2 = ss ("the red house" | "the real deal") ;
and trying to complete on input "th", you get:
[
{
"from": "TestCnc",
"brackets": {
"cat": "_",
"fid": 0,
"index": 0,
"fun": "_",
"children": []
},
"text": "th",
"completions": [
{
"token": "the",
"funs": [
{
"fun": "f1",
"hyps": [],
"cat": "C",
"seq": "the"
},
{
"fun": "f2",
"hyps": [],
"cat": "C",
"seq": "the red house"
},
{
"fun": "f2",
"hyps": [],
"cat": "C",
"seq": "the real deal"
}
]
}
]
}
]
The configuration script takes significantly longer to run than the compilation
of all the C code, which is a hint that is in need of a major simplification.
PGF exports the public, stable API.
PGF.Internal exports additional things needed in the GF compiler & shell,
including the nonstardard version of Data.Binary.
From the documentation: the throwIO variant should be used in preference to
throw to raise an exception within the IO monad because it guarantees ordering
with respect to other IO operations, whereas throw does not.
Also removed some unused imports.
1. Like pgf-translate, it now shows one result at a time, press Enter to get
more results.
2. You can load a new grammar with the command 'i <path-to-pgf>'
The old type was [String] -> String. This function was only used
in GF.Text.Lexing.stringOp, which now uses (unwords . bindTok) instead,
with no change in behaviour.
The capitalization of the first word was done in GF.Text.Lexing.stringOp,
but is now done in the functions unlexText and unlexMixed in PGF.Lexing.
These functions are only used in stringOp and in PGFService (where the change
is needed), so the subtle change in behaviour should not cause any bugs.
Only change the first word to lowercase if the original input is not found in
the grammar's morphology. This allows parsing of sentenses starting with "I" in
English, nouns in German and proper names in other languages, but it can make
the wrong choice for multi-words.
