patch applied (cabal): Remove last uses of parseReadS
by Duncan Coutts 25 Mar '08

25 Mar '08

Mon Mar 24 16:28:04 PDT 2008 Duncan Coutts <duncan(a)haskell.org> * Remove last uses of parseReadS One use was for parsing bools in the installed package info. We can go with the more liberal Text instance for that. The other use is for parsing Haskell strings in quoted string fields. So we keep it for that purpose but restrict the type and rename to parseHaskellString.

patch applied (cabal): Add parseCompilerFlavorCompat and use it instead of parseReadS

Mon Mar 24 16:21:12 PDT 2008 Duncan Coutts <duncan(a)haskell.org> * Add parseCompilerFlavorCompat and use it instead of parseReadS So it accepts the same valid values as parseReadS did, but doesn't fall over on unknown values, returning (OtherCompiler "the_name").

patch applied (cabal): Parse extension names in .cabal files using Text rather than Read
by Duncan Coutts 25 Mar '08

25 Mar '08

Mon Mar 24 12:16:22 PDT 2008 Duncan Coutts <duncan(a)haskell.org> * Parse extension names in .cabal files using Text rather than Read This means we can now parse unknown extensions without falling over. Indeed if the compiler supports the unknown extension then we can even successfully use it. This gives us some forwards compatability for new extensions.

25 Mar '08

Mon Mar 24 12:14:21 PDT 2008 Duncan Coutts <duncan(a)haskell.org> * Improve the warning message about unsupported extensions. That is, extensions the compiler does not support, as opposed to extensions that are unknown to Cabal.

patch applied (cabal): Convert a couple uses of read/reads in the GHC module
by Duncan Coutts 25 Mar '08

25 Mar '08

Mon Mar 24 12:10:26 PDT 2008 Duncan Coutts <duncan(a)haskell.org> * Convert a couple uses of read/reads in the GHC module Read the ghc --supported-languages list using simpleParse rather than reads. It now parses extensions that GHC recognises but Cabal does not as (UnknownExtension theExtensionName). For example this allows people to use the PArr extension which ghc currently supports but which is not a finalised registered extension.

patch applied (cabal): Add Text instance for Extension and add UnknownExtension constructor
by Duncan Coutts 25 Mar '08

25 Mar '08

Mon Mar 24 08:00:27 PDT 2008 Duncan Coutts <duncan(a)haskell.org> * Add Text instance for Extension and add UnknownExtension constructor The parse function is ~15x faster than using reads by using a simple hash table :: Array Char [(String, Extension)]. The hash function is then just 'head' -- the first letter of the extension name.
