Created module GF.Command.CommonCommands with ~250 lines of code for commands
that do not depend on the type of PGF in the environemnt, either because they
don't use the PGF or because they are just documented here and implemented
elsewhere.
TODO: further refactoring so that documentation and implementation of
*all* commands can be kept together.
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.
+ Move type CommandInfo from GF.Command.Commands to a new module
GF.Commands.CommandInfo and make it independent of the PGF type.
+ Make the module GF.Command.Interpreter independent of the PGF type and
eliminate the import of GF.Command.Commands.
+ Move the implementation of the "help" command to its own module
GF.Command.Help
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.
To implement this consistently, the function linearizeAndBind was replaced
with the function linearizedAndUnlex (but there are a couple of requests
that do not call this function...)
Note that this applies to the Haskell run-time requests only. The C run-time
request (c-linearize, c-translate) always applies the &+ token and the
c-parse request can parse input containing glued tokens.
