hmake certainly handles multi-line comments, and #ifdef'd conditional imports (by using cpphs as a library).
Great. I had some vague memories about HMake's parser for input statements being over simple, so I'm sorry I was incorrect there.
It /is/ rather simple-minded. But it doesn't really need to be complex, there are only a few odd corner cases where you need to be slightly careful.
I think the only thing not handled entirely correctly is several import statements on the same line separated by semicolons.
Actually I was wrong - this is already handled correctly. See http://haskell.org/hmake/bugs.html But in testing it, I did discover a different corner case that was wrong: module A where { import B -- this import was being missed due to leading { ; import C ; ... } Now fixed in CVS.
Cool. Maybe we can steal your code :)
Yeah, of course, provided you abide by the license (nhc98-style) - this use would fall under the definition of stealing < 10% of any one program. (But you should also be aware that the cpphs modules are LGPL.) Regards, Malcolm
