Constructing and deconstructing GHC environment files
Version-specific implementation quirks

Description

This is a fairly large module. It contains most of the GHC-specific code for configuring, building and installing packages. It also exports a function for finding out what packages are already installed. Configuring involves finding the ghc and ghc-pkg programs, finding what language extensions this version of ghc supports and returning a Compiler value.

getInstalledPackages involves calling the ghc-pkg program to find out what packages are installed.

Building is somewhat complex as there is quite a bit of information to take into account. We have to build libs and programs, possibly for profiling and shared libs. We have to support building libraries that will be usable by GHCi and also ghc's -split-objs feature. We have to compile any C files using ghc. Linking, especially for split-objs is remarkably complex, partly because there tend to be 1,000's of .o files and this can often be more than we can pass to the ld or ar programs in one go.

Installing for libs and exes involves finding the right files and copying them to the right places. One of the more tricky things about this module is remembering the layout of files in the build directory (which is not explicitly documented) and thus what search dirs are used for various kinds of files.

Version-specific implementation quirks

getImplInfo :: Compiler -> GhcImplInfo Source #

data GhcImplInfo Source #

Information about features and quirks of a GHC-based implementation.

Compiler flavors based on GHC behave similarly enough that some of the support code for them is shared. Every implementation has its own peculiarities, that may or may not be a direct result of the underlying GHC version. This record keeps track of these differences.

All shared code (i.e. everything not in the Distribution.Simple.FLAVOR module) should use implementation info rather than version numbers to test for supported features.
