Introduced the function
parallelCheck :: [Check a] -> Check [a]
that runs independent checks in parallel, potentially allowing faster grammar
compilation on multi-core computers, if you run gf with +RTS -N.
However, on my dual core laptop, this seems to slow down compilation somewhat
even though CPU utilization goes up as high as 170% at times.
(This is with GF compiled with GHC 7.0.4.)
In GF.Compile.CheckGrammar, use a new topological sorting function that
groups independent judgements, allowing them all to be checked before
continuing or reporting errors.
Using accumulated errors in the Check monad.
TODO: some errors are still not accumulated, but thanks to checkMapRecover
at least one error per judgement is reported.
In addition to warnings, the Check monad in GF.Infra.CheckM can now accumulate
errors. There are two new functions
checkAccumError: Message -> Check ()
accumulateError :: (a -> Check a) -> a -> Check a
The former (with the same type as checkWarn) is used to report an accumulated
(nonfatal) error. The latter converts fatal errors into accumulated errors.
Accumulated errors are reported as regular errors by runCheck.
Also, the Check monad type has been made abstract.
An apparent bug in ghc-7.2.2 causes the type Value to be exported from PGF.Data.
Workaround: restrict the imports from PGF.Data in GF.Command.Abstract and
GF.Compile.GeneratePMCFG to avoid the clash with locally defined type Value.
(ghc-7.0.4 and ghc-7.4.1 appear to be free from this bug.)
This also allows the parameter rec to be removed from function computeTermOpt.
(The change is made in GF.Compile.Compute.ConcreteLazy, but not in
GF.Compile.Compute.ConcreteStrict.)
This patch adds GF.Compile.Compute.ConcreteLazy, which replaces the Err monad
with the Identity monad. While the Err monad makes the interpreter
(hyper)strict, the Identity monad let's the interpreter inherit Haskell's
laziness. This can give big speedups: from 50s to 1s in one example,
from ~4 minutes to ~2 minutes for the RGL.
This is still experimental and might be buggy, so it is off by default.
You can turn it on by configuring with the -fcclazy flag, e.g.
cabal configure -fcclazy
Let me know if anything breaks.
