patch applied (cabal): Rewrite the Program abstraction and the ProgramConfiguration database

Thu Aug 16 20:38:41 PDT 2007 Duncan Coutts <duncan(a)haskell.org> * Rewrite the Program abstraction and the ProgramConfiguration database Also make the follow on changes to everything that uses Program. The notion of a program is now split into the abstract notion of a program that we know about and might be able to configure, and a configured program that we can actually run. The ProgramConfiguration database is similarly split. We still keep user-supplied loation and arguments and use them when we configure programs. The abstract Program now has functions to search for the program on the system and for finding the version number. This allows for more generic configuration of programs.

darcs patch: Split ConfVar into ConfFlag and ConfVar and one more
by Esa Ilari Vuokko 17 Aug '07

17 Aug '07

Hi, I went hunting the few last warnings I see on Cabal build; In Configuration.hs, resolveWithFlags, env has no case for ConfVar's Impl. I started adding signatures, and then it occured to me, is there actually two types of ConfVar? One that is one flag. data ConfFlag = Flag String And one that has the other cases as well data ConfVar = OS String | Arch String | Impl String VersionRange | ConfFlag ConfFlag That leads to changing some d -> Maybe Bool to d -> Either d2 Bool and so on. Does this sound sensible? This is what the main part (Split ConfVar) of the patch bundle does. I tested by compiling Cabal's setup with changes, and compiling Cabal afterwards. I realize this isn't good enough test case; But it appears that the test in Configuration.hs aren't run; Maybe I am missing something with my fix-tests patch or running "make tests" doesn't work (possibly only under msys shell)?

More complicated ones where the generated files have to embed links to each other need more information. For example c2hs generates .hs file that reference generated .h files. These links should be relative to the dist/build dir and not to the top of the source tree, since we do not want to add -I. to the includes search path. We only want to use -Idist/build, hence the embeded links must be relative to that. Therefor c2hs needs to know the base output directory as well as the name of the file relative to that. So we add a new type PreProcessorFull that has this extra info and a function simplePP :: :: PreProcessor -> PreProcessorFull for the common case of most existing pre-processors that do not need this extra info.

The main change is in the preprocessModule function. It now takes an extra arg which is the destination directory. For now I'm passing the buildDir, but we could consider putting pre-processed files into a separate fir from where the .o and .hi files end up. To work out the correct destination file we need to know not only the source file but which of the search dirs it was found in, since the relative file name will be the name of the source file relative to the search dir it was found in, not the name relative to the top of the source tree. This is so that we will be able to find the pre-processed .hs file just by adding dist/build to the sources search path when we compile (eg with -i for ghc). This almost certainly breaks the sdist thing where pre-processed files get included into the tarball.

This invokes the system command interpreter and passes the command to run as an argument. If the command has spaces in it and is not properly escaped then everything goes wrong. This happens for example on windows when haddock and other programs are kept under "Program Files". So the right thing to do is never to use system, but always rawSystem since then there are no escaping issues. This patch replaces a couple function systemCaptureStdout and systemGetStdout with rawSystemStdout which now lives in Distribution.Simple.Utils. This also uses some rather nasty code to get the output of a command. It really really should not be this hard to do portably. To work around the fact that we cannot use runInteractiveProcess we instead have to create a temporary file.

Can we get rid of --with-compiler=
by Duncan Coutts 16 Aug '07

16 Aug '07

Currently we can specify the path to the compiler using: runhaskell Setup configure --with-compiler=... and there's another flag for --with-hc-pkg=... But now that the compilers are also using the Program abstraction they automatically get corresponding configure flags: --with-ghc=... --with-ghc-pkg=... --with-hugs=... --with-ffihugs=... --with-hmake=... etc etc (there are also --<prog>-args=... flags for each one) The difference is that these are specific to the program, for example --with-hc-pkg does not apply for most compilers. So in the code at the moment, on a per-compiler basis we have to take the --with-compiler= arg (if it was supplied) and use it to override what we got through the generic --with-<prog> mechanism. So do we need the generic --with-compiler= --with-hc-pkg= flags? If someone knows the path to a specific compiler then don't they already know the which compiler they're using and they could specify the specific arg instead? Duncan
