Various documentation improvements

2018-02-14T22:06:36+00:00

 * Fix missing code example in changelog for 8.4.1

 * List 'setEnv' as opposite of 'getEnv'

   It seems best to direct users to use 'System.Environment.setEnv'
   rather than 'System.Posix.Env.putEnv'. This is due to 'setEnv' being
   located in the same module as 'getEnv' and my virtue of working on
   Windows platform, whereas 'putEnv' does not have that quality because
   it's part of the 'unix' package.

 * Reflect in docs the fact that 'readMVar' is not a composition of
   'takeMVVar' and 'putMVar' any more

Initialize hs_init with UTF8 encoded arguments on Windows.

2017-07-27T20:16:02+00:00

Summary:
Get utf8 encoded arguments before we call hs_init and use them
instead of ignoring hs_init arguments. This reduces differing
behaviour of the RTS between windows and linux and simplifies
the code involved.

A few testcases were changed to expect the same result on windows
as on linux after the changes.

This fixes #13940.

base: Add handling of -- to getArgs for Windows

2017-02-23T22:26:44+00:00

getArgs didn't match the treatmeant of -- in the RTS leading to
inconsistencies between behavior on Windows and other platforms. See #13287.

Fix memory leak from #12664

2016-10-07T10:07:13+00:00

This fixes the leak with `setProgArgv`. The problem was
that `setProgArgv` would not free the objects pointed
to by `prog_argc`, `prog_argv` when the globals were
changed resulting in a leak.

The only strictly necessary change is in `rts/RtsFlags.c`, but
the code in `System.Environment` was a bit confusing and not
exception safe, so I refactored it.

Convert `/Since: .../` to new `@since ...` syntax

2014-12-16T12:30:08+00:00

Starting with Haddock 2.16 there's a new built-in support for since-annotations

Note: This exposes a bug in the `@since` implementation (see e.g. `Data.Bits`)
