9 patches for repository http://darcs.haskell.org/cabal: Fri May 27 19:25:44 EDT 2011 Dan Knapp <dankna@gmail.com> * Pursuant to Cabal ticket #850. Fix for "C" headers specified with includes: which are actually ObjectiveC headers (or some other dialect). Works by asking the C compiler which source files include which headers, then inferring the dialects of those source files from their filenames, combining the resulting dialects for each header with a monoid, and mapping the final dialect back onto a filename extension for the dummy file to be used in the foreign-library tests. Sat May 28 08:15:56 EDT 2011 Dan Knapp <dankna@gmail.com> * One-line fix to the prior patch for ticket #850; I had omitted a case in my declaration for the Monoid CDialect instance. Sat May 28 08:30:22 EDT 2011 Dan Knapp <dankna@gmail.com> * Pursuant to ticket #504, expand the check for a known extension on the file provided to main-is: to also allow known C-language extensions. This uses my Distribution.Simple.CCompiler from the ticket #850 patch so that the information on known extensions isn't duplicated. The ticket #504 discussion suggests that ghc needs -no-hs-main in this situation, but that appears to no longer be the case; also see discussion on GHC ticket #2459. There might still be an issue if the entry point is WinMain() instead of main(), but I'm not really set up to test that. Sat May 28 12:19:21 EDT 2011 Dan Knapp <dankna@gmail.com> * Change to my earlier patch for ticket #504, executables with a C main function. I swear this worked for me in my test case, but I found that it doesn't work now, and I can't see how it ever did. The issue is that, when looking for the source file, the new C extensions weren't known so it didn't come up. I added knowledge about them by making Distribution.Simple.PreProcess depend on Distribution.Simple.CCompiler. Sat May 28 20:56:14 EDT 2011 Dan Knapp <dankna@gmail.com> * Enhancement as requested by my ticket #851: a c-source-dirs field in BuildInfo. Implemented for configure, build, and sdist, which should be everything. Sat May 28 22:06:06 EDT 2011 Dan Knapp <dankna@gmail.com> * My fix for #851 actually broke my earlier fix for #850; this patch corrects things so they play nice together. Sun May 29 04:55:44 EDT 2011 Dan Knapp <dankna@gmail.com> * Fix the regression described in #852 and caused by my patch for #850. Sun May 29 21:23:50 EDT 2011 Dan Knapp <dankna@gmail.com> * Changes to handle building C source after Haskell source when making mixed-language executables, pursuant to ticket #852, so that C source can include *_stub.h files which are generated by the Haskell compilation. (This should already work in the library case.) Since ghc --make can't by itself infer the modules that need to be built when it's passed a .c file, we need to tell it. Tue May 31 04:43:24 EDT 2011 Dan Knapp <dankna@gmail.com> * Fix for ticket #853, passing the appropriate ObjC-GC flag to ghc and gcc when it's needed, based on a new BuildInfo field objc-gc: with the values Disabled (passes nothing), Optional, and Mandatory. -- Dan Knapp "An infallible method of conciliating a tiger is to allow oneself to be devoured."
