Distribution.Compiler
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 progdb
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.

defaultCompilerFlavor :: Maybe CompilerFlavor #
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 #
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.
