| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The package terminology is a bit of a mess. Cabal packages contain components. Instances of these components when built with some flags/options/dependencies are called units. Units are registered into package databases and their metadata are called PackageConfig. GHC only knows about package databases containing units. It is a sad mismatch not fixed by this patch (we would have to rename parameters such as `package-id <unit-id>` which would affect users). This patch however fixes the following internal names: - Renames PackageConfig into UnitInfo. - Rename systemPackageConfig into globalPackageDatabase[Path] - Rename PkgConfXX into PkgDbXX - Rename pkgIdMap into unitIdMap - Rename ModuleToPkgDbAll into ModuleNameProvidersMap - Rename lookupPackage into lookupUnit - Add comments on DynFlags package related fields It also introduces a new `PackageDatabase` datatype instead of explicitly passing the following tuple: `(FilePath,[PackageConfig])`. The `pkgDatabase` field in `DynFlags` now contains the unit info for each unit of each package database exactly as they have been read from disk. Previously the command-line flag `-distrust-all-packages` would modify these unit info. Now this flag only affects the "dynamic" consolidated package state found in `pkgState` field. It makes sense because `initPackages` could be called first with this `distrust-all-packages` flag set and then again (using ghc-api) without and it should work (package databases are not read again from disk when `initPackages` is called the second time).

* Break up `Settings` into smaller structsJohn Ericson2019-05-291-0/+16
As far as I can tell, the fields within `Settings` aren't *intrinsicly* related. They just happen to be initialized the same way (in particular prior to the rest of `DynFlags`), and that is why they are grouped together. Within `Settings`, however, there are groups of settings that clearly do share something in common, regardless of how they anything is initialized. In the spirit of GHC being a library, where the end cosumer may choose to initialize this configuration in arbitrary ways, I made some new data types for thoses groups internal to `Settings`, and used them to define `Settings` instead. Hopefully this is a baby step towards a general decoupling of the stateful and stateless parts of GHC.
