Hi, Malcolm Wallace wrote:
Actually, I think it would be better just to add the single new name "javascript". It's pretty easy, and allows us to represent the convention using an enumerated type internally, rather than just a String. Types are one of the reasons we like Haskell, aren't they?
Perhaps there could be an intermediate solution: keep the calling convention field as a string, but add a command-line option, something like --allow-cconv=<comma-separated list> with default being whatever is in the Addendum plus those non-standard nhc98 convention names. For Javascript backend, I'll use --allow-cconv=javascript, etc. --allow-cconv=ANY would turn this check off (thus ANY in capitals being reserved word) This is all advisory to the final code generator, anyway.
