+ Instead of including lists of parameter values generated by GF, generate code to enumerate parameter values (in the same order as GF). This seems to give a factor of 2-3 code size reduction in the Phrasebook (e.g. from 84MB to 25MB for Hin, from 338MB to 154MB for Fre). + Deduplicate table entries, i.e. convert "table [..,E,..,E,..,E,..]" into "let x = E in table [..,x,..,x,..,x,..]". This gives even more significant code size reduction in some cases, e.g. from 569MB to 15MB for PhrasebookFin. All phrasebook languages can now be converted to compilable Haskell code, except PhrasebookPes, which still has the name clash problem.
DESCRIPTION
The Grammatical Framework (=GF) is a grammar formalism based on type theory.
It consists of
* a special-purpose programming language
* a compiler of the language
* a generic grammar processor
The compiler reads GF grammars from user-provided files, and the
generic grammar processor performs various tasks with the grammars:
* generation
* parsing
* translation
* type checking
* computation
* paraphrasing
* random generation
* syntax editing
GF particularly addresses four aspects of grammars:
* multilinguality (parallel grammars for different languages)
* semantics (semantic conditions of well-formedness, semantic
properties of expressions)
* grammar engineering (modularity, abstractions, libraries)
* embeddability in programs written in other languages (C,C++,
Haskell, Java, JavaScript)
