[project @ 2004-11-26 16:22:09 by simonmar]
Further integration with the new package story.  GHC now supports
pretty much everything in the package proposal.

  - GHC now works in terms of PackageIds (<pkg>-<version>) rather than
    just package names.  You can still specify package names without
    versions on the command line, as long as the name is unambiguous.

  - GHC understands hidden/exposed modules in a package, and will refuse
    to import a hidden module.  Also, the hidden/eposed status of packages
    is taken into account.

  - I had to remove the old package syntax from ghc-pkg, backwards
    compatibility isn't really practical.

  - All the package.conf.in files have been rewritten in the new syntax,
    and contain a complete list of modules in the package.  I've set all
    the versions to 1.0 for now - please check your package(s) and fix the
    version number & other info appropriately.

  - New options:

-hide-package P    sets the expose flag on package P to False
-ignore-package P  unregisters P for this compilation

For comparison, -package P sets the expose flag on package P
        to True, and also causes P to be linked in eagerly.

        -package-name is no longer officially supported.  Unofficially, it's
a synonym for -ignore-package, which has more or less the same effect
as -package-name used to.

Note that a package may be hidden and yet still be linked into
the program, by virtue of being a dependency of some other package.
To completely remove a package from the compiler's internal database,
        use -ignore-package.

The compiler will complain if any two packages in the
        transitive closure of exposed packages contain the same
        module.

You *must* use -ignore-package P when compiling modules for
        package P, if package P (or an older version of P) is already
        registered.  The compiler will helpfully complain if you don't.
The fptools build system does this.

   - Note: the Cabal library won't work yet.  It still thinks GHC uses
     the old package config syntax.

Internal changes/cleanups:

   - The ModuleName type has gone away.  Modules are now just (a
     newtype of) FastStrings, and don't contain any package information.
     All the package-related knowledge is in DynFlags, which is passed
     down to where it is needed.

   - DynFlags manipulation has been cleaned up somewhat: there are no
     global variables holding DynFlags any more, instead the DynFlags
     are passed around properly.

   - There are a few less global variables in GHC.  Lots more are
     scheduled for removal.

   - -i is now a dynamic flag, as are all the package-related flags (but
     using them in {-# OPTIONS #-} is Officially Not Recommended).

   - make -j now appears to work under fptools/libraries/.  Probably
     wouldn't take much to get it working for a whole build.

Added RTS support for registering and delivering console events quite
a while ago (rts/win32/ConsoleHandler.c), but got bored with it before
completing the job. Here's the concluding commit; it does the following:

- new module, base/GHC/ConsoleHandler.hs which supports registering of
  console event handlers (the null module on plats other than mingw).
- special handling of aborted async read()s on 'standard input' in
  rts/win32/IOManager.c (together with GHC.Conc.asyncRead). See comments
  in that IOManager.c as to why this is needed.
  [ Any other code that performs blocking I/O on 'standard input' will
    need to be tweaked too to be console event handler/signal friendly.]
- for now, disable the delivery of 'close' events (see
  rts/win32/ConsoleHandler.c:generic_handler() for reasons why)

Feel free to hoik GHC/ConsoleHandler.hs around the lib hierarchy to wherever
is considered more fitting. Unifying functionality between System.Posix.Signals
and GHC.ConsoleHandler is one (obvious) thing to do.

Adding Cabal to GHC, stage 1:

  - Add Data.Version library as previously discussed on
    libraries@haskell.org.

  - import the Cabal library as a package under fptools/libraries,
    build & install it by default.

  - Instead of importing Cabal's version of ReadP, I added the extra
    combinators to Text.ParserCombinators.ReadP.  If anyone objects,
    please speak up.

I made various changes to Cabal along the way, which I'll try to fold
back into the main Cabal sources in due course.  The changes are
roughly these:

  - Generic Version stuff removed from Distribution.Version (now in
    Data.Version).

  - Some modules were rearranged.  Distribution.Misc was replaced by
    Distribution.License & Distribution.Extension.  Distribution.Package
    split into D.PackageDescription and D.Package.

  - modules under Compat.* renamed to Distribution.Compat.*.  Hopefully
    I've retained enough compatibility stuff so that this will still build
    under nhc98 & Hugs.

  - Some elaboration of InstalledPackageInfo, which was previously unused
    in Cabal.  I've updated the type definition with respect to changes
    in PackageDescription, and added a parser/pretty-printer for it.
    This is going to be used in the new ghc-pkg.

  - Fixed a bug or two that I found along the way.

The next stage will be to integrate GHC's idea of packages with
Cabal's.  That means ghc-pkg must grok InstalledPackageInfo, and we
must use all the new information (versions, exposed/unexposed modules etc.).

Threaded RTS improvements:

 - Unix only: implement waitRead#, waitWrite# and delay# in Haskell,
   by having a single Haskell thread (the IO manager) performing a blocking
   select() operation.  Threads communicate with the IO manager
   via channels.  This is faster than doing the select() in the RTS,
   because we only restart the select() when a new request arrives,
   rather than each time around the scheduler.

   On Windows we just make blocking IO calls, we don't have a fancy IO
   manager (yet).

 - Simplify the scheduler for the threaded RTS, now that we don't have
   to wait for IO in the scheduler loop.

 - Remove detectBlackHoles(), which isn't used now (not sure how long
   this has been unused for... perhaps it was needed back when main threads
   used to be GC roots, so we had to check for blackholes manually rather
   than relying on the GC.)

Signals aren't quite right in the threaded RTS.  In fact, they're
slightly worse than before, because the thread receiving signals might
be blocked in a C call - previously there always be another thread
stuck in awaitEvent() that would notice the signal, but that's not
true now.  I can't see an easy fix yet.

Win32 rawSystem: set errno to EINVAL on error.  This is a gross hack,
but is slightly better than the existing situation (errno not set at
all, caller tries to report errno and draws a blank).

Microsoft's C runtime has a conversion function from Win32 error codes
into errno error codes, but it isn't part of the external interface.
grrrrr.

Strictly speaking, we should have support for Win32 error codes in the
base package.
