------------------------------------------- Towards generalising 'foreign' declarations ------------------------------------------- This is a first step towards generalising 'foreign' declarations to handle langauges other than C. Quite a lot of files are touched, but nothing has really changed. Everything should work exactly as before. But please be on your guard for ccall-related bugs. Main things Basic data types: ForeignCall.lhs ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * Remove absCSyn/CallConv.lhs * Add prelude/ForeignCall.lhs. This defines the ForeignCall type and its variants * Define ForeignCall.Safety to say whether a call is unsafe or not (was just a boolean). Lots of consequential chuffing. * Remove all CCall stuff from PrimOp, and put it in ForeignCall Take CCallOp out of the PrimOp type (where it was always a glitch) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * Add IdInfo.FCallId variant to the type IdInfo.GlobalIdDetails, along with predicates Id.isFCallId, Id.isFCallId_maybe * Add StgSyn.StgOp, to sum PrimOp with FCallOp, because it *is* useful to sum them together in Stg and AbsC land. If nothing else, it minimises changes. Also generally rename "CCall" stuff to "FCall" where it's generic to all foreign calls.
