Another sparc/egcs fix.

Fix for egcs on sparc.

Workarond apparent bug in FreeBSD 'sh'.

Added (yield :: IO ()) - the underlying bits were already there, really.

Tmp fix: compile HsBasic with -fno-prune-tydecls.

Support for "unregisterised" builds.  An unregisterised build doesn't
use the assembly mangler, doesn't do tail jumping (uses the
mini-interpreter), and doesn't use global register variables.

Plenty of cleanups and bugfixes in the process.

Add way 'u' to GhcLibWays to get unregisterised libs & RTS.

[ note: not *quite* working fully yet... there's still a bug or two
  lurking ]

Added documentation for (yield :: IO ())

Testing the Random library (not complete).

randomIvalInteger: The difference between '1' and 'l' is rather slight
at the level of pixels. At the level of Haskell programs however, the
difference is rather more pronounced :)

wibble

Fised & improved lexing of escaped numeric character literals + a regression
test.

Fix some tests, mainly to deal with new dictionary format in interface files.

Remove some comments left in by mistake.

Whoops, forgot to mention the following change:

  Various ticky counters have changed:
    - TICK_ALLOC_THK is now TICK_ALLOC_{UP,SE}_THK (updatable versus
      single-entry).
    - TICK_UPD_{NEW,OLD}_IND is now TICK_UPD_{NEW,OLD}_{,PERM_}IND.
    - UPD_{CAF_,}BH_{UPDATABLE,SINGLE_ENTRY}_ctr added, counting the
      creation of various flavours of black holes.
    - ENT_PERM_IND, UPD_{NEW,OLD}_PERM_IND are only dumped if update
      squeezing is off; see comment in Ticky.c

  Some documentation for ticky-ticky has been added to the user guide.

  Usage verification changes / ticky-ticky changes:

  We want to verify that SingleEntry thunks are indeed entered at most
  once.  In order to do this, -ticky / -DTICKY_TICKY turns on eager
  blackholing.  We blackhole with new blackholes: SE_BLACKHOLE and
  SE_CAF_BLACKHOLE.  We will enter one of these if we attempt to enter
  a SingleEntry thunk twice.  Note that CAFs are dealt with in by
  codeGen, and ordinary thunks by the RTS.

  We also want to see how many times we enter each Updatable thunk.
  To this end, we have modified -ticky.  When -ticky is on, we update
  with a permanent indirection, and arrange that when we enter a
  permanent indirection we count the entry and then convert the
  indirection to a normal indirection.  This gives us a means of
  counting the number of thunks entered again after the first entry.
  Obviously this screws up profiling, and so you can't build a ticky
  and profiling compiler any more.

  Also a few other changes that didn't make it into the previous 8
  commits, but form a part of this set.

  The CPP flag LAZY_BLACKHOLING has been moved up from options.h into
  Stg.h, so GHC can see it as well as the interpreter, and
  EAGER_BLACKHOLING has been added.  The default is still
  LAZY_BLACKHOLING && !EAGER_BLACKHOLING.

  The code generator now incorporates the update avoidance
  optimisation: a thunk of __o type is now made SingleEntry rather
  than Updatable.

  We want to verify that SingleEntry thunks are indeed entered at most
  once.  In order to do this, -ticky turns on eager blackholing.
  Ordinary thunks will be dealt with by the RTS, but CAFs are
  blackholed by the code generator.  We blackhole with new blackholes:
  SE_CAF_BLACKHOLE.  We will enter one of these if we attempt to enter
  a SingleEntry thunk twice.

  It is useful to know the usage of a lambda outside the usage
  inference (specifically, in the simplifier); thus as a temporary
  hack to make this information available without undue modification
  to the rest of the compiler, the information is copied into the
  IdInfo field of the binder.

  The new information is LBVarInfo, which can be either NoLBVarInfo or
  IsOneShotLambda, corresponding to __m/no info and __o respectively.
  LBVarInfo is not intended to be printed in interface files; to
  enforce this ppLBVarInfo is defined to print nothing.

  The major purpose of this commit is to introduce usage information
  and usage analysis into the compiler, per the paper _Once Upon a
  Polymorphic Type_ (Keith Wansbrough and Simon Peyton Jones, POPL'99,
  and Glasgow TR-1998-19).

  An analysis is provided that annotates a Core program with optimal
  usage annotations.  This analysis is performed by -fusagesp
  (=CoreDoUSPInf), and requires -fusagesp-on (=opt_UsageSPOn).  This
  latter performs an analysis in tidyCorePgm, immediately before
  CoreToStg is done.  The driver flag -fusagesp currently provides hsc
  with -fusagesp-on, and if -O is on does a single -fusagesp early on
  in the Core-to-Core sequence.  Please change this as desired.

  *NB*: For now, -fusagesp with -O requires -fno-specialise.  Sorry.

  The flags -ddump-usagesp (=opt_D_dump_usagesp) and -dusagesp-lint
  (=opt_DoUSPLinting) (also -dnousagesp-lint to the driver) have been
  added and are documented in the User Guide.

  The major purpose of this commit is to introduce usage information
  and usage analysis into the compiler, per the paper _Once Upon a
  Polymorphic Type_ (Keith Wansbrough and Simon Peyton Jones, POPL'99,
  and Glasgow TR-1998-19).

  Usage information has been added to types, in the form of a new kind
  of NoteTy: (UsgNote UsageAnn(UsOnce|UsMany|UsVar UVar)).  Usages
  print as __o (once), __m (many, usually omitted), or (not in
  interface files) __uvxxxx.  Usage annotations should only appear at
  certain places in a type (see the paper).  The `default' annotation
  is __m, and so an omitted annotation implies __m.  Utility functions
  for handling usage annotations are provided in Type.

  If the compiler is built with -DUSMANY (a flag intended for use in
  debugging by KSW only), __m are *required* and may not be omitted.

  The major constraint is that type arguments (eg to mkAppTy) must be
  unannotated on top.  To maintain this invariant, many functions
  required the insertion of Type.unUsgTy (removing annot from top of a
  type) or UsageSPUtils.unannotTy (removing all annotations from a
  type).  A function returning usage-annotated types for primops has
  been added to PrimOp.

  A new kind of Note, (TermUsg UsageAnn), has been added to annotate
  Terms.  This note is *not* printed in interface files, and for the
  present does not escape the internals of the usage inference engine.

  Following Haskell 98, if the module declaration is omitted it now
  defaults to "module Main(main) where", rather than the previous
  default of exporting everything.

  Furthermore, "module Main where" also defaults to exporting just
  Main.main rather than everything in the module (modules other than
  Main behave as normal).  This permits the usage inference to give
  better results for the Main module, since exported functions get
  worse types than nonexported functions.

  Type constructors now carry information on the variance (positive
  and/or negative) of each of their type arguments (tyConArgVrcs).
  This information is provided for primitive types and computed for
  others.  If a tycon has been imported abstractly and this variance
  information is subsequently demanded, we make a pessimistic
  assumption and warn that -fno-prune-tydecls should be used.

(this is number 1 of 9 commits to be applied together)

  Dictionaries now appear in interface files explicitly, rather than
  as contexts: __forall [a] => {Show a} -> ... rather than __forall
  [a] {Show a} => ... .

myThreadId doc'ed

couple of fixes (courtesy of MPJ)

minor updates

Assuming that the TC sometime in the future will want to start looking
at infix decls (right, Simon?), the renamer currently passes them on
rather than filter.

Couple of TC tweaks to have it non-burpingly handle such FixSigs
inside class decls.

The implementation of hGetLine, as given in the report, doesn't handle
partial lines on unbuffered handles that well (not at all, as it turns
out). Fixed.

PrelHandle.withHandle: don't catch IO exceptions.

yet another bugfix to the 'deriving Read' code

Test fixes.

oops, args to startupHaskell() wrong way around

extend cleanup to integer2Word#

integer2Int# take 4: cleaned up a little.

integer2Int#, take 3

Added a DllMain() which starts up RTS upon DLL load.

integer2Int# again: don't flip sign unless outside [minInt,maxInt]
