The parse/translate/c-parse/c-translate commands now recognize the option
jsontree=true to augment the returned JSON structure with a field called
"jsontree" next to the field "tree", or "jsontrees" next to "trees",
containing the the returned syntax tree in JSON format (the same format
returned by the abstrjson command, similar to the format returned in the
"brackets" field).
2 modules: Name clashes caused by Applicative-Monad change in Prelude
2 modules: Ambiguities caused by Foldable/Traversable in Prelude
2 modules: Backwards incompatible changes in time-1.5 for defaultTimeLocale
9 modules: {-# LANGUAGE FlexibleContexts #-} (because GHC checks inferred types
now, in addition to explicitly given type signatures)
Also silenced warnings about tab characters in source files.
By adding the flag -haskell=variants to the command line, GF will now generate
linearization functions in Haskell that support variants. Variants are
represented as lists in Haskell.
Variants inside pre { ... } expressions are still ignored.
TODO: apply some monad laws to generate more compact code (using an
intermediate representation of the generated Haskell code, instead of
pretty printing directly from the GF code).
Move the Haskell representation of the common linearization type {s:T} to the
shared module PGF.Haskell, so that the same overloaded projection function
proj_s can be used for all concrete syntaxes.
Common code has been lifted out from the generated Haskell modules to
an auxiliary module PGF.Haskell, which is currently included in the
regular PGF library, although it is independent of it and probably belongs
in a separate library.
The type Str used by linearization functions is now based on a token
type Tok, which is defined in PGF.Haskell.
PGF.Haskell.Tok is similar to the type GF.Data.Str.Tok, but it has
constructors for the special tokens BIND, SOFT_BIND and CAPIT, and there is
a function
fromStr :: Str -> String
that computes the effects of these special tokens.
The API in the C runtime as well as in the Haskell, Python and Java binding
is changed. Now instead of adding the literal callbacks to the concrete syntax
you need to supply them every time when you need to parse. The main reason is:
- referentially transparent API for Haskell
- when we start using memory mapped files we will not be allowed to change
anything in the grammar data structures. At that point the old API would
be impossible to use.
