Description

Interacting with the interpreter, whether it is running on an external process or in the current process.

Synopsis

High-level interface to the interpreter

evalStmt :: HscEnv -> Bool -> EvalExpr ForeignHValue -> IO (EvalStatus_ [ForeignHValue] [HValueRef]) Source #

Execute an action of type IO [a], returning ForeignHValues for each of the results.

data EvalExpr a :: * -> * Source #

We can pass simple expressions to EvalStmt, consisting of values and application. This allows us to wrap the statement to be executed in another function, which is used by GHCi to implement :set args and :set prog. It might be worthwhile to extend this little language in the future.

evalIO :: HscEnv -> ForeignHValue -> IO () Source #

Execute an action of type IO ()

evalString :: HscEnv -> ForeignHValue -> IO String Source #

Execute an action of type IO String

evalStringToIOString :: HscEnv -> ForeignHValue -> String -> IO String Source #

Execute an action of type String -> IO String

mallocData :: HscEnv -> ByteString -> IO (RemotePtr ()) Source #

Allocate and store the given bytes in memory, returning a pointer to the memory in the remote process.

createBCOs :: HscEnv -> [ResolvedBCO] -> IO [HValueRef] Source #

Create a set of BCOs that may be mutually recursive.

The object-code linker

loadDLL :: HscEnv -> String -> IO (Maybe String) Source #

loadDLL loads a dynamic library using the OS's native linker (i.e. dlopen() on Unix, LoadLibrary() on Windows). It takes either an absolute pathname to the file, or a relative filename (e.g. "libfoo.so" or "foo.dll"). In the latter case, loadDLL searches the standard locations for the appropriate library.

Returns:

Nothing => success Just err_msg => failure

Lower-level API using messages

iservCmd :: Binary a => HscEnv -> Message a -> IO a Source #

Run a command in the interpreter's context. With -fexternal-interpreter, the command is serialized and sent to an external iserv process, and the response is deserialized (hence the Binary constraint). With -fno-external-interpreter we execute the command directly here.

data Message a :: * -> * where Source #

A Message a is a message that returns a value of type a. These are requests sent from GHC to the server.

Constructors

Shutdown :: Message ()

Exit the iserv process

InitLinker :: Message () 
LookupSymbol :: Message (Maybe (RemotePtr ())) 
LookupClosure :: Message (Maybe HValueRef) 
LoadDLL :: Message (Maybe String) 
LoadArchive :: Message () 
LoadObj :: Message () 
UnloadObj :: Message () 
AddLibrarySearchPath :: Message (RemotePtr ()) 
RemoveLibrarySearchPath :: Message Bool 
ResolveObjs :: Message Bool 
FindSystemLibrary :: Message (Maybe String) 
CreateBCOs :: Message [HValueRef]

Create a set of BCO objects, and return HValueRefs to them Note: Each ByteString contains a Binary-encoded [ResolvedBCO], not a ResolvedBCO. The list is to allow us to serialise the ResolvedBCOs in parallel. See createBCOs in compilerghciGHCi.hsc.

FreeHValueRefs :: Message ()

Release HValueRefs

AddSptEntry :: Message ()

Add entries to the Static Pointer Table

MallocData :: Message (RemotePtr ())

Malloc some data and return a RemotePtr to it

MallocStrings :: Message [RemotePtr ()] 
PrepFFI :: Message (RemotePtr C_ffi_cif)

Calls prepareForeignCall

FreeFFI :: Message ()

Free data previously created by PrepFFI

MkConInfoTable :: Message (RemotePtr StgInfoTable)

Create an info table for a constructor

EvalStmt :: Message (EvalStatus_ [HValueRef] [HValueRef])

Evaluate a statement

ResumeStmt :: Message (EvalStatus_ [HValueRef] [HValueRef])

Resume evaluation of a statement after a breakpoint

AbandonStmt :: Message ()

Abandon evaluation of a statement after a breakpoint

EvalString :: Message (EvalResult String)

Evaluate something of type IO String

EvalStringToString :: Message (EvalResult String)

Evaluate something of type String -> IO String

EvalIO :: Message (EvalResult ())

Evaluate something of type IO ()

MkCostCentres :: Message [RemotePtr CostCentre]

Create a set of CostCentres with the same module name

CostCentreStackInfo :: Message [String]

Show a CostCentreStack as a [String]

NewBreakArray :: Message (RemoteRef BreakArray)

Create a new array of breakpoint flags

EnableBreakpoint :: Message ()

Enable a breakpoint

BreakpointStatus :: Message Bool

Query the status of a breakpoint (True = enabled)

GetBreakpointVar :: Message (Maybe HValueRef)

Get a reference to a free variable at a breakpoint

StartTH :: Message (RemoteRef (IORef QState))

Start a new TH module, return a state token that should be

RunTH :: Message (QResult ByteString)

Evaluate a TH computation.

Returns a ByteString, because we have to force the result before returning it to ensure there are no errors lurking in it. The TH types don't have NFData instances, and even if they did, we have to serialize the value anyway, so we might as well serialize it to force it.

RunModFinalizers :: Message (QResult ())

Run the given mod finalizers.

withIServ :: (MonadIO m, ExceptionMonad m) => HscEnv -> (IServ -> m a) -> m a Source #

Grab a lock on the IServ and do something with it. Overloaded because this is used from TcM as well as IO.

iservCall :: Binary a => IServ -> Message a -> IO a Source #

Send a Message and receive the response from the iserv process

readIServ :: IServ -> Get a -> IO a Source #

Read a value from the iserv process

writeIServ :: IServ -> Put -> IO () Source #

Send a value to the iserv process

mkFinalizedHValue :: HscEnv -> RemoteRef a -> IO (ForeignRef a) Source #

Creates a ForeignRef that will automatically release the RemoteRef when it is no longer referenced.

wormhole :: DynFlags -> ForeignRef a -> IO a Source #

Convert a ForeignRef to the value it references directly. This only works when the interpreter is running in the same process as the compiler, so it fails when -fexternal-interpreter is on.

wormholeRef :: DynFlags -> RemoteRef a -> IO a Source #

Convert an RemoteRef to the value it references directly. This only works when the interpreter is running in the same process as the compiler, so it fails when -fexternal-interpreter is on.
