This is the root directory for functional-programming tools distributed by the Computing Science Department at Glasgow University. Simon Peyton Jones <simonpj@dcs.gla.ac.uk> is the ringleader of this effort. The tools are: ghc the Glasgow Haskell compilation system hslibs collection of Haskell libraries haggis the Haggis GUI toolkit happy the Happy Haskell parser generator green-card a foreign function interface pre-processor for Haskell. nofib the NoFib Haskell benchmarking suite literate the Glasgow "literate programming" system glafp-utils shared utility programs mk GNU make setup used by all of fptools docs documentation on the installing and using the fptools suite. The "literate" stuff is usually distributed *with* other systems, but not necessarily. Components which are always part of a distribution (never stand-alone) are "glafp-utils" and "mk" (a configuration system). There is usually an ANNOUNCE* file with any distribution. Please consult that, or the <piece>/README file, to find out how to proceed.

Added a generational garbage collector. The collector is reliable but fairly untuned as yet. It works with an arbitrary number of generations: use +RTS -G<gens> to change the number of generations used (default 2). Stats: +RTS -Sstderr is quite useful, but to really see what's going on compile the RTS with -DDEBUG and use +RTS -D32. ARR_PTRS removed - it wasn't used anywhere. Sanity checking improved: - free blocks are now spammed when sanity checking is turned on - a check for leaking blocks is performed after each GC.
