Description

This has an enumeration of the various compilers that Cabal knows about. It also specifies the default compiler. Sadly you'll often see code that does case analysis on this compiler flavour enumeration like:

case compilerFlavor comp of
  GHC -> GHC.getInstalledPackages verbosity packageDb progconf
  JHC -> JHC.getInstalledPackages verbosity packageDb progconf

Obviously it would be better to use the proper Compiler abstraction because that would keep all the compiler-specific code together. Unfortunately we cannot make this change yet without breaking the UserHooks api, which would break all custom Setup.hs files, so for the moment we just have to live with this deficiency. If you're interested, see ticket #57.

Methods

gfoldl :: (forall d b. Data d => c (d -> b) -> d -> c b) -> (forall g. g -> c g) -> CompilerFlavor -> c CompilerFlavor Source #

gunfold :: (forall b r. Data b => c (b -> r) -> c r) -> (forall r. r -> c r) -> Constr -> c CompilerFlavor Source #

toConstr :: CompilerFlavor -> Constr Source #

dataTypeOf :: CompilerFlavor -> DataType Source #

dataCast1 :: Typeable (* -> *) t => (forall d. Data d => c (t d)) -> Maybe (c CompilerFlavor) Source #

dataCast2 :: Typeable (* -> * -> *) t => (forall d e. (Data d, Data e) => c (t d e)) -> Maybe (c CompilerFlavor) Source #

gmapT :: (forall b. Data b => b -> b) -> CompilerFlavor -> CompilerFlavor Source #

gmapQl :: (r -> r' -> r) -> r -> (forall d. Data d => d -> r') -> CompilerFlavor -> r Source #

gmapQr :: (r' -> r -> r) -> r -> (forall d. Data d => d -> r') -> CompilerFlavor -> r Source #

gmapQ :: (forall d. Data d => d -> u) -> CompilerFlavor -> [u] Source #

gmapQi :: Int -> (forall d. Data d => d -> u) -> CompilerFlavor -> u Source #

gmapM :: Monad m => (forall d. Data d => d -> m d) -> CompilerFlavor -> m CompilerFlavor Source #

gmapMp :: MonadPlus m => (forall d. Data d => d -> m d) -> CompilerFlavor -> m CompilerFlavor Source #

gmapMo :: MonadPlus m => (forall d. Data d => d -> m d) -> CompilerFlavor -> m CompilerFlavor Source #

Ord CompilerFlavor # 
Read CompilerFlavor # 
Show CompilerFlavor # 
Generic CompilerFlavor # 
Binary CompilerFlavor # 
Text CompilerFlavor # 
type Rep CompilerFlavor # 

defaultCompilerFlavor :: Maybe CompilerFlavor Source #

The default compiler flavour to pick when compiling stuff. This defaults to the compiler used to build the Cabal lib.

However if it's not a recognised compiler then it's Nothing and the user will have to specify which compiler they want.

parseCompilerFlavorCompat :: ReadP r CompilerFlavor Source #

Like classifyCompilerFlavor but compatible with the old ReadS parser.

It is compatible in the sense that it accepts only the same strings, eg GHC but not "ghc". However other strings get mapped to OtherCompiler. The point of this is that we do not allow extra valid values that would upset older Cabal versions that had a stricter parser however we cope with new values more gracefully so that we'll be able to introduce new value in future without breaking things so much.

Compiler id

data CompilerId Source #

Instances

Eq CompilerId # 
Ord CompilerId # 
Read CompilerId # 
Show CompilerId # 
Generic CompilerId # 

Associated Types

type Rep CompilerId :: * -> * Source #

Binary CompilerId # 
Text CompilerId # 
type Rep CompilerId # 

Compiler info

data CompilerInfo Source #

Compiler information used for resolving configurations. Some fields can be set to Nothing to indicate that the information is unknown.

Constructors

CompilerInfo 

Fields

Instances

Read CompilerInfo # 
Show CompilerInfo # 
Generic CompilerInfo # 

Associated Types

type Rep CompilerInfo :: * -> * Source #

Binary CompilerInfo # 
type Rep CompilerInfo # 

unknownCompilerInfo :: CompilerId -> AbiTag -> CompilerInfo Source #

Make a CompilerInfo of which only the known information is its CompilerId, its AbiTag and that it does not claim to be compatible with other compiler id's.
