* Add LANGUAGE pragmas to compiler/ source filesHerbert Valerio Riedel2014-05-151-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In some cases, the layout of the LANGUAGE/OPTIONS_GHC lines has been reorganized, while following the convention, to - place `{-# LANGUAGE #-}` pragmas at the top of the source file, before any `{-# OPTIONS_GHC #-}`-lines. - Moreover, if the list of language extensions fit into a single `{-# LANGUAGE ... -#}`-line (shorter than 80 characters), keep it on one line. Otherwise split into `{-# LANGUAGE ... -#}`-lines for each individual language extension. In both cases, try to keep the enumeration alphabetically ordered. (The latter layout is preferable as it's more diff-friendly) While at it, this also replaces obsolete `{-# OPTIONS ... #-}` pragma occurences by `{-# OPTIONS_GHC ... #-}` pragmas.
* Re-work the naming story for the GHCi prompt (Trac #8649)Simon Peyton Jones2014-01-091-11/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The basic idea here is simple, and described in Note [The interactive package] in HscTypes, which starts thus: Note [The interactive package] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Type and class declarations at the command prompt are treated as if they were defined in modules interactive:Ghci1 interactive:Ghci2 ...etc... with each bunch of declarations using a new module, all sharing a common package 'interactive' (see Module.interactivePackageId, and PrelNames.mkInteractiveModule). This scheme deals well with shadowing. For example: ghci> data T = A ghci> data T = B ghci> :i A data Ghci1.T = A -- Defined at <interactive>:2:10 Here we must display info about constructor A, but its type T has been shadowed by the second declaration. But it has a respectable qualified name (Ghci1.T), and its source location says where it was defined. So the main invariant continues to hold, that in any session an original name M.T only refers to oe unique thing. (In a previous iteration both the T's above were called :Interactive.T, albeit with different uniques, which gave rise to all sorts of trouble.) This scheme deals nicely with the original problem. It allows us to eliminate a couple of grotseque hacks - Note [Outputable Orig RdrName] in HscTypes - Note [interactive name cache] in IfaceEnv (both these comments have gone, because the hacks they describe are no longer necessary). I was also able to simplify Outputable.QueryQualifyName, so that it takes a Module/OccName as args rather than a Name. However, matters are never simple, and this change took me an unreasonably long time to get right. There are some details in Note [The interactive package] in HscTypes.

* Restructure compilation pipeline to allow hooksAustin Seipp2013-09-221-6/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit exposes GHC's internal compiler pipeline through a `Hooks` module in the GHC API. It currently allows you to hook: * Foreign import/exports declarations * The frontend up to type checking * The one shot compilation mode * Core compilation, and the module iface * Linking and the phases in DriverPhases.hs * Quasiquotation Authored-by: Luite Stegeman <stegeman@gmail.com> Authored-by: Edsko de Vries <edsko@well-typed.com> Signed-off-by: Austin Seipp <austin@well-typed.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | linking scenarios. We weren't searching for .a archives to satisfy -lfoo options on the GHCi command line, for example. I've tidied up the code in this module so that dealing with -l options on the command line is consistent with the handling of extra-libraries for packages. While I was here I moved some stuff out of Linker.hs that didn't seem to belong here: dataConInfoPtrToName (now in new module DebuggerUtils) and lessUnsafeCoerce (now in DynamicLoading, next to its only use)
* Add dynamically-linked plugins (see Trac #3843)Simon Peyton Jones2011-06-161-0/+150
This patch was originally developed by Max Bolingbroke, and worked on further by Austin Seipp. It allows you to write a Core-to-Core pass and have it dynamically linked into an otherwise-unmodified GHC, and run at a place you specify in the Core optimisation pipeline. Main components: - CoreMonad: new types Plugin, PluginPass plus a new constructor CoreDoPluginPass in CoreToDo - SimplCore: stuff to dynamically load any plugins, splice them into the core-to-core pipeline, and invoke them - Move "getCoreToDo :: DynFlags -> [CoreToDo]" which constructs the main core-to-core pipeline from CoreMonad to SimplCore SimplCore is the driver for the optimisation pipeline, and it makes more sense to have the pipeline construction in the driver not in the infrastructure module. - New module DynamicLoading: invoked by SimplCore to load any plugins Some consequential changes in Linker. - New module GhcPlugins: this should be imported by plugin modules; it it not used by GHC itself.
