Some C run-time functionality is now available in the GF shell, by starting
GF with 'gf -cshell' or 'gf -crun'. Only limited functionality is available
when running the shell in these modes:
- You can only import .pgf files, not source files.
- The -retain flag can not be used and the commands that require it to work
are not available.
- Only 18 of the 40 commands available in the usual shell have been
implemented. The 'linearize' and 'parse' commands are the only ones
that call the C run-time system, and they support only a limited set of
options and flags. Use the 'help' commmands for details.
- A new command 'generate_all', that calls PGF2.generateAll, has been added.
Unfortuntaly, using it causes 'segmentation fault'.
This is implemented by adding two new modules: GF.Command.Commands2 and
GF.Interactive2. They are copied and modified versions of GF.Command.Commands
and GF.Interactive, respectively. Code for unimplemented commands and other
code that has not been adapted to the C run-time system has been left in
place, but commented out, pending further work.
The module src/compiler/GF.hs now serves as a prelimiary compiler API. It just
exports a selection of functions and types from the compiler.
Haddock documentation can be generated with
cabal haddock --hyperlink-source
Also bumbed the version number to 3.6.10.
