==What's new==
|
|
|
|
Over 170 changes have been pushed to the source repository since
|
|
[the release of GF 3.7 release-3.7.html] in June 2015.
|
|
|
|
===GF compiler and run-time library===
|
|
|
|
====New features and notable changes====
|
|
|
|
- GF shell: ``cc -trace`` (preliminary): you can now do things like
|
|
|
|
``cc -trace mkV "debug"``
|
|
|
|
to see a trace of all opers with their arguments and results during the
|
|
computation of ``mkV "debug"``.
|
|
|
|
- GF shell: you can now parse and linearize with the C run-time system
|
|
from the GF shell by starting GF with ``gf -cshell`` or ``gf -crun``.
|
|
Only limited functionality is available when running the shell in these
|
|
modes (use the ``help`` command in the shell for details):
|
|
|
|
- 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.
|
|
|
|
- GF now supports parallel batch compilation of grammars.
|
|
|
|
- ``gf -make -j=``//n// uses //n// parallel threads.
|
|
- ``gf -make -j`` adapts to the number of processors in the system.
|
|
|
|
(This depends on the function ``Control.Concurrent.setNumCapabilities``,
|
|
which is only available in GHC>=7.6 (base>=4.6).
|
|
GF can still be compiled with GHC<7.6, but then you have
|
|
to use ``+RTS -N -RTS`` to take advantage of multicore processors.)
|
|
|
|
- GF shell: more commands (``cc``, ``sd``, ``so``, ``ss``, ``dg``, ``ph``)
|
|
can now be used in pipes and
|
|
the ``eh`` (``execute_history``) command now works again.
|
|
|
|
|
|
====Other changes and bug fixes====
|
|
|
|
- Various improvements and bug fixes in the C run-time system and its
|
|
bindings to other languages.
|
|
|
|
|
|
====Changes of interest to compiler developers====
|
|
|
|
- The implementation of the GF shell has been refactored, both to accommodate
|
|
the C run-time mode (``gf -cshell``), to allow a more uniform treatment
|
|
of different types of commands, and to fix some commands that have been
|
|
broken for years.
|
|
|
|
|
|
===Resource Grammar Library===
|
|
|
|
- Various fixes for several languages.
|
|
- Numerous fixes in the translation dictionaries.
|
|
|
|
|
|
===GF Cloud services===
|
|
|
|
- PGF service: by adding ``unlexer=none`` (or ``unlexer=id``)
|
|
in requests that output linearizations
|
|
(e.g. ``command=linearize``, ``command=translate``),
|
|
you can leave ``&+`` uninterpreted instead of gluing the adjacent tokens.
|
|
This means that the output is left in a format that can be parsed in
|
|
a subsequent request.
