Spelling

Add a pointer to the Cabal docs

rearrange #includes

Add missing semicolon; merge to stable

Add a clarifying para about Win32 GUI-only programs

Make :info behave like :type, and show foralls when -fglasgow-exts is on.

Fix the use of -package flags (I hope).  GHC 6.4 should build with
itself, now.

Sanity check for $hardtop containing space characters, suggested by
Malcolm Wallace.

---------------------------------------------
	Make type synonyms uniform with data types
	so far as infix operators are concerned
	---------------------------------------------

	Merge to STABLE


This allows

	type (a :+: b) c d = ...

which was prevented before by accident.

I've also documented the fact that classes can be infix;
and arranged that class constraints in types can be in infix form.
	f :: (a :=: b) => ....

Add final newline

In -e mode, if there is an error loading the modules on the command
line, stop immediately rather than going on to evaluate the expression.

fix for findPackageModule: if we find the module in the cache, check
that it actually is a package module before returning it.

rearrange includes

Move include <stdlib.h> later

Move include of <string.h> later

more include of <stdio.h> later: ghcautoconf.h must come before any
system includes, because it might define _FILE_OFFSET_BITS.

Add AdjustorAsm.S to EXCLUDED_SRCS unless we're building for
powerpc/powerpc64.  Apparently Solaris ld chokes on the empty object
file otherwise.

---------------------------------------------
	Another fix to data2tag evaluated-ness (sigh)
	---------------------------------------------

	Merge to STABLE

-------------------------------------------------------
	Change -include-prelude to -include-pkg-deps for ghc -M
	-------------------------------------------------------

	Merge to STABLE

This commit just renames the flag for ghc -M to something more
sensible.

Commentary stuff

emitSwitch: if we're compiling via C, then always generate a switch
rather than an if-tree.  This should work around brokenness in older
versions of GCC.

add mk/fix_install_names.sh to source dist

Fix a recompilation bug caused by the fact that typecheckIface wasn't
going via loadDecl to create the binders properly.  The fix actually
results in slightly cleaner code.

Clean and install ghcplatform.h

For some reason rev. 1.71 undid rev. 1.70.  Restore it.

more tracking of field name changes (cc-options, hugs-options & frameworks)

package.conf.in: more Cabal changes tracking
                   - change 'extra-ld-opts' to 'ld-options'
                   - change 'extra-libs' to 'extra-libraries'

                 stage2 once again builds successfully.

more InstalledPackageInfo tracking: extraFrameworks -> frameworks

Linker.lhs: s/extraLdOpts/ldOptions/ to fix a build breakage caused by
            recent updates to main/ParsePkgConf.y (version 1.20)

Linker.c: ELF: Added two utility functions findElfSectionIndexByName
               and findElfSectionByName that are used by the PPC64 linker
               currently being worked on.  These functions should be used
               in other (generic) ELF code too.

Track InstalledPackageInfo updates

Rename fields in InstalledPackageInfo for consistency with
PackageDescription & buildInfo:

 extra-libs (extraLibraries) --> extra-libraries (extraLibraries)
 extra-cc-opts (extraCcOpts) --> cc-options (ccOptions)
 extra-ld-opts (extraLdOpts) --> ld-options (ldOptions)
 extra-hugs-opts (extraHugsOpts) --> hugs-options (hugsOptions)
 extra-frameworks (extraFrameworks) --> frameworks (frameworks)

use $(strip ..) in various places to eliminate spurious whitespace

Detect and substitue $(GccVersion) properly

Mac OS X: fixes to the splitter (rev. 1.24.6.1 on the branch)

LinkerInternals.h: all platforms: changed 'image' pointer in ObjectCode
                                  from (void *) to (char *).

Linker.c: linux/ppc: added mremap() support to unbreak the build when
                     USE_MMAP is defined on linux/ppc (as it now is.)

Mention GHC's relaxation of the layout rule

* set off examples (e.g. as used in the Cabal doc) from the text.

* make minor headers blue too.

* make the green in screens a bit darker for contrast.

wibble to previous... (*fatalInternalErrorFn)() is not expected to return.

assertion failures should go through the RtsMessages layer, so they
get a pop-up box in a Windows app.
