If the C run-time library is compiled and installed on your system, you can now
do 'cabal configure -fc-runtime' to get the following extras:
+ The haskell binding to the C run-time library will be included in the
PGF library (so you can import it in Haskell applications).
Documentation on the new modules will be included when you run
'cabal haddock'.
+ The new command 'pgf-shell', implemented on top of haskell binding to
the C run-time system.
+ Three new commands in the web API: c-parse, c-linearize and
c-translate. Their interfaces are similar to the corresponding commands
without the "c-" prefix, but they should be considered preliminary.
* The haskell-bind.cabal file makes it easy to build the haskell binding and
use it in ghci.
* pgf-shell.hs is a simple example of how to use the haskell binding.
Change the type of getConcr from
getConcr :: PGF -> Language -> Concr
to
getConcr :: PGF -> Language -> Maybe Concr
This is to prevent programs from crashing later if you try to select a
concrete syntax that is not present in a grammar.
Some backwards incompatible changes were made to the PGF file format after
the release of GF 3.5. This patch adds a module for reading PGF files in the
old format.
This means that old PGF files on the grammaticalframework.org server will
continue to work after we install the latest version of GF.
This was a fairly simple change thanks to previous work on making the Ident
type abstract and the fact that PGF.CId already uses UTF-8-encoded
ByteStrings.
One potential pitfall is that Data.ByteString.UTF8 uses the same type for
ByteStrings as Data.ByteString. I renamed ident2bs to ident2utf8 and
bsCId to utf8CId, to make it clearer that they work with UTF-8-encoded
ByteStrings.
Since both the compiler input and identifiers are now UTF-8-encoded
ByteStrings, the lexer now creates identifiers without copying any characters.
**END OF DESCRIPTION***
Place the long patch description above the ***END OF DESCRIPTION*** marker.
The first line of this file will be the patch name.
This patch contains the following changes:
M ./src/compiler/GF/Compile/CheckGrammar.hs -3 +3
M ./src/compiler/GF/Compile/GrammarToPGF.hs -2 +2
M ./src/compiler/GF/Grammar/Binary.hs -5 +1
M ./src/compiler/GF/Grammar/Lexer.x -11 +13
M ./src/compiler/GF/Infra/Ident.hs -19 +36
M ./src/runtime/haskell/PGF.hs -1 +1
M ./src/runtime/haskell/PGF/CId.hs -2 +3
This module should not be part of the public PGF library API, and it was only
used in GF.CompileToAPI, so the code was moved there. The module defined
constFuncs and syntaxFuncs, but only syntaxFuncs was used.
