+ Programs compiled with ghc<7.8 have a default built-in 8M stack size limit. With ghc>7.0 this built-in default can be changed, so it is now 64M, allowing GF to work with larger grammars without manually increasing the stack size. (But if GF is compiled with ghc 6.12, the built-in default is still 8M.) + Enable ghc>=7.8 support for compiling modules in parallel, to speed up the compilation of GF.
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)
