* Reorganisation of the source treeSimon Marlow2006-04-07112-49934/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Most of the other users of the fptools build system have migrated to Cabal, and with the move to darcs we can now flatten the source tree without losing history, so here goes. The main change is that the ghc/ subdir is gone, and most of what it contained is now at the top level. The build system now makes no pretense at being multi-project, it is just the GHC build system. No doubt this will break many things, and there will be a period of instability while we fix the dependencies. A straightforward build should work, but I haven't yet fixed binary/source distributions. Changes to the Building Guide will follow, too.

* Loosen the rules for instance declarations (Part 3)Ross Paterson2006-02-131-22/+33
| | | | | | | Relax the restrictions on derived instances in the same way, so we can write data MinHeap h a = H a (h a) deriving (Show)
* Fix instance rules for functional dependenciessimonpj@microsoft.com2006-02-091-11/+304
| | | | | | | | | | | | | GHC 6.4 implements a rather relaxed version of the Coverage Condition which is actually too relaxed: the compiler can get into an infinite loop as a result. This commit fixes the problem (see Note [Coverage condition] in FunDeps.lhs) and documents the change. I also took the opportunity to add documentation about functional dependencies, taken from the Hugs manual with kind permission of Mark Jones
