The basic story is this: - fptools/libraries contains the new hierarchical libraries. Everything in here is "clean", i.e. most deprecated stuff has been removed. - fptools/libraries/base is the new base package (replacing "std") and contains roughly what was previously in std, lang, and concurrent, minus deprecated stuff. Things that are *not allowed* in libraries/base include: Addr, ForeignObj, ByteArray, MutableByteArray, _casm_, _ccall_, ``'', PrimIO For ByteArrays and MutableByteArrays we use UArray and STUArray/IOUArray respectively now. Modules previously called PrelFoo are now under fptools/libraries/GHC. eg. PrelBase is now GHC.Base. - fptools/libraries/haskell98 provides the Haskell 98 std. libraries (Char, IO, Numeric etc.) as a package. This package is enabled by default. - fptools/libraries/network is a rearranged version of the existing net package (the old package net is still available; see below). - Other packages will migrate to fptools/libraries in due course. NB. you need to checkout fptools/libraries as well as fptools/hslibs now. The nightly build scripts will need to be tweaked. - fptools/hslibs still contains (almost) the same stuff as before. Where libraries have moved into the new hierarchy, the hslibs version contains a "stub" that just re-exports the new version. The idea is that code will gradually migrate from fptools/hslibs into fptools/libraries as it gets cleaned up, and in a version or two we can remove the old packages altogether. - I've taken the opportunity to make some changes to the build system, ripping out the old hslibs Makefile stuff from mk/target.mk; the new package building Makefile code is in mk/package.mk (auto-included from mk/target.mk). The main improvement is that packages now register themselves at make boot time using ghc-pkg, and the monolithic package.conf in ghc/driver is gone. I've updated the standard packages but haven't tested win32, graphics, xlib, object-io, or OpenGL yet. The Makefiles in these packages may need some further tweaks, and they'll need pkg.conf.in files added. - Unfortunately all this rearrangement meant I had to bump the interface-file version and create a bunch of .hi-boot-6 files :-(

Subsequent cleanups in PrelInt/PrelWord. - Ptr is now defined in ghc/lib/std/PrelPtr.lhs. Ptr is no longer a newtype of Addr, it is defined directly in terms of Addr#. - PrelAddr has disappeared from ghc/lib/std, all uses of Addr in ghc/lib/std have been replaced with Ptr. The definitions of Addr has been moved to hslibs/lang/Addr.lhs, as has lots of other Addr-related stuff. - ForeignObj has been removed from ghc/lib/std, and replaced with ForeignPtr. The definition of ForeignObj has been moved to hslibs/lang/ForeignObj.lhs. - Most of the new FFI has been moved into ghc/lib/std in the form of modules PrelMarshalAlloc, PrelCString, PrelCError, PrelMarshalError, PrelMarshalArray, PrelMarshalUtils, PrelCTypes, PrelCTypesISO, and PrelStorable. The corresponding modules in hslibs/lang simply re-export the contents of these modules. - PrelPosixTypes defines a few POSIX types (CMode == mode_t, etc.) - PrelCError changed to access errno using foreign label and peek (the POSIX book I have says that errno is guaranteed to be an extern int, so this should be OK until I get around to making errno thread-safe). - Hacked the macros that generate the code for CTypes and CTypesISO to generate much less code (ghc/lib/std/cbits/CTypes.h). - RtsAPI is now a bit more honest when it comes to building heap objects (it uses the correct constructors). - the Bits class and related stuff has been moved to ghc/lib/std (it was simpler this way). - Directory and System have been converted to use the new FFI.

| | | | | | | | | | Make it so that -fcompiling-prelude applies only for Prelude modules (i.e. ones called Prelxxx). I've done this with an {-# OPTIONS #-} line in each such module (they all has -fno-implicit-prelude anyway) but a less repetitive approach in the Makefile would be welcome.
