loadConcr, unloadConcr and addLiteral modify the Concr structure as a side
effect. This means that other functions with a Concr argument (e.g. parse
and linearize) are no longer pure.
Possible solutions:
1. Don't try to hide the imperative nature of the C run-time system: remove
all uses of unsafePerformIO and let all functions operate in the IO monad.
2. Don't export functions with side effects. Perhaps the desired functionality
of loadConcr, unloadConcr and addLiteral can be folded into readPGF.
The Concr structures can then treaded as immutable after after the
readPGF function returns...
(1) introduces the module GF.Infra.Concurreny with lifted concurrency
operators (to reduce uses of liftIO) and some additional concurrency
utilities, e.g. a function for sequential logging that is used in
both GF.CompileInParallel and GFServer.
(2) avoids leaving broken .gfo files behind if compilation is aborted.
* httpd-shed-0.4 does not specify an upper bound on network, but it fails
to build against network>=2.6. This is fixed in httpd-shed-0.4.0.2.
* With network-2.6, the Network.URI modules is moved to a separate package,
so for the time being GF requires network>=2.3 && <2.6. This is compatible
with the four most recent versions of the Haskell Platform.
* Introducing the module CGI, re-exporting a subset of the cgi package. It
might complete replace the cgi package in the future.
* Introducing the module CGIUtils, containing functions from FastCGIUtils that
have nothing to do with fastcgi.
Some low level hackery with unsafePerformIO and global variables was left
in FastCGIUtils, but it is actually not used, neither for gf -server nor
exec/pgf-fcgi.hs.
This makefile just calls GF once and lets GF figure out in which order to
compile things. It uses the -j flag to enable parallel compilation and
specifies an explicit -path, overriding the -path flags in the source files.
This allows all needed modules to be found automatically and ensures that
that alltenses is consistently used everywhere. But for some reason, this
doesn't work...
The script bin/build-binary-dist.sh has been updated to build either a plain
.tar.gz package or OS X Installer package (.pkg).
Note that bin/build-binary-dist.sh is designed to build and include the
C run-time system in the binary package. If the C run-time system fails to
build, no binary package will be created.
