Some reorganising.  Simon and I agreed to leave out most of the (inaccurate) section
on primitive operations, pointing people instead to the Real Truth in primops.txt
and the External Core document.

Also: bugs section added

make it compile again (x86)

Put stdin back into non-blocking mode after calling readline, because
readline sometimes clears the O_NONBLOCK flag (done using the
GHC.Posix interface, so it shouldn't break Win32).

make it compile again with 4.08.x

Darwin/PowerPC: Don't generate PIC code by default
Non-PIC-code is slightly smaller and faster.
This means that GHC now requires GCC3 (Mac OS X 10.2 Jaguar).

MERGE TO STABLE

The Native Code Generator for PowerPC.
Still to be done:
*) Proper support of Floats and Doubles
   currently it seems to work, but it's just guesswork.
*) Some missing operations, only needed for -O, AFAICT.
*) Mach-O dynamic linker stub generation.
   (can't import foreign functions from dynamic libraries,
   and it might fail for big programs)

Object Splitting for Mac OS X.

MERGE TO STABLE (... but not today, I have to test it first)

Make the Mac OS X build use the HaskellSupport.framework (a MacOS-style "framework" that includes the required libraries libgmp and dlcompat) if it is present. The HaskellSupport.framework is not yet in CVS, but is available from me.

Docs for Template Haskell

Wibble

------------------------------------------
	Implement reification for Template Haskell
	------------------------------------------

This is entirely un-tested, but I don't think it'll break non-TH stuff.

Implements
	reifyDecl T :: Dec	-- Data type T
	reifyDecl C :: Dec	-- Class C
	reifyType f :: Typ	-- Function f

I hope.

'usleep' nightmare: Sometimes return type is void, sometimes int.

Fix mdo so that it works with polymorphic functions

Remove usage-analysis guff in applyTys

Compatibility fixes for Exception.try

Add an example about -osuf etc

Add a note about existential data constructors

Fix two separate egregious errors in RdrHsSyn, which I
heavily modified when re-doing the top level plumbing.

One had the effect of throwing away fixity decls if there
was also a class decl

The other threw away all but the first and last equation of
a function definition.

Sorry about having so utterly broken the head, guys.

rules: permit trailing semi-colon(s) again (inserted by the lexer & needed when compiling Base.lhs)

make it compile with 4.08 (module author may very reasonably want to abstract away the ifdef this commit intros.)

make it compile in non-DEBUG mode

partial undo of prev commit (AC_CHECK_HEADERS([foo],..) isn't equal to AC_CHECK_HEADER([foo],..). Fixes HEAD breakage (cf. _SC_CLK_TCK undefinedness)

Fix to mdo, plus SrcLocs on splices and brackets

Import Exception.Try via HsVersions

Fix and simplify renamer warnings about export lists

Dont try to splice if compiler isnt bootstrapped

Missing eqn in getMonoBind

Remove circular dependencies

Dont complain about unused things bound by deriving clause

Bale out if duplicate binders

---------------------
	PS: remove ParseUtils
	---------------------

I've combined ParseUtils into RdrHsSyn.  I could never
figure out which thing was defined in which module, and
they were both short.

-----------------------------------
	Lots more Template Haskell stuff
	-----------------------------------

At last!  Top-level declaration splices work!
Syntax is

	$(f x)

not "splice (f x)" as in the paper.

Lots jiggling around, particularly with the top-level plumbining.
Note the new data type HsDecls.HsGroup.

Make the new Posix bindings compile on Mac OS X.
Most notable, Mac OS X lacks
*) lchown
*) SIGPOLL
I don't know of a replacement of either, so they are just left out when
they are not detected by configure.

Make it compile for Mac OS X again.

The never-ending docbook tragedy: Adapt the catalogs once more... >:-P
NOTE: I don't really have a clue what I'm doing here, but at least it
works with the current SuSE Linux distribution 8.1.
