New C parser that can parse all of C99 and GNU C

Make c2hs integrate better with Cabal (1.2 and later)

Adapted to GHC 6.8.

Now requires Cabal 1.2.

Lots and lots of old code removal

Several bug fixes and improvements from Udo Stenzel:

Added nocode directive to pointer hooks

Can use structs properly in pointer hooks now (contributed by Jelmer Vernooij)

upcaseFirstLetter and downcaseFirstLetter

Cross-compiling with --platform flag

Gcc's asm construct is supported (contributed by Duncan Coutts)

Hierarchical modules syntax in import hooks supported

No separately installed marshaling library anymore; as a result binary C➔Haskell packages and installations are now independent of the targeted Haskell system

New lexer and parser generated with Alex and Happy (contributed by Duncan Coutts)

Cabal build system

Works with GHC 6.4 and Cabal packages

Strings may contain 8-bit characters (e.g., umlauts).

Identifier may optionally be put in single quotes. (This is useful if they would otherwise collide with a C➔Haskell keyword.)

Some smaller bug fixes

C chars are treated as integral types for marshalling purposes.

If there is no explicit output file specified, the generated header file is put in the same directory as the binding file; otherwise, it goes in the directory where the output file is put. Moreover, the --output-dir option enables the specification of directory where all generated files are to be put.

Foreign import declarations include the name of the header file generated by C➔Haskell (ie, it needs neither be passed to the Haskell compiler at the command line nor in an OPTIONS pragma).

We allow structs and unions with no declarations.

Headers including function bodies are now parsed correctly.

Duncan Coutts identified a space leak in the parser whose removal improved performance significantly.

Removed support for deprecated C2HS interface and for old versions of the FFI libraries

Improved line pragma generation

Works with GHC 6.3

Builds on Mac OS X thanks to a patch by Sean Seefried

Bug fixes

Constant expression can now contain enumerators

header label removed from context hooks

Added support for CPP directives, including special treatment of conditions, and for inline C code; specification of a header file as an argument to c2hs is now option.

GHC line pragmas are emitted into generated Haskell code

Swap the order of reading the binding module and the C header (i.e., we now read the binding module first)

Worked around a bug in GHC 5.04.1

Solaris-related fix

Marshalling support for bit masks represented as enumeration types

Added fun hooks

as aliases can use ^ convert the orignal identifier with underscore2case

In call hooks, the attributes `fun' was replaced by `pure' (`fun' is will still be recognised for a while to ensure backwards compatibility, but it's use is deprecated)

GHC's package system is now supported

If two import hooks add a type mapping for a pointer hook with the same name, the textual later one dominates.

Bug fixes

Support for bitfields (they are correctly handled when computing struct offsets and they can be accessed using set and get hooks)

Some more support for GNU C extensions ("alignof" and better support "__attribute__")

Added class hooks

Bug fixes

Library names in foreign imports have been removed until the convention of the new FFI is implemented (they are currently silently omitted)

Added sizeof hooks; sizeof of type names is now also supported in constant expressions

Local prefix for enum hooks; courtesy of Armin Sander

Added import hooks

The documentation includes a description of binding hooks

Added pointer hooks, which were derived from code for a similar feature by Axel Simon; this includes proper treatment of parametrised pointers

Integrated deriving option for enum hooks, which was contributed by Axel Simon

Adapted to GHC 5.0

Adaptation layer for legacy StablePtr interface

Forgot to export FunPtr and associated functions from C2HS

Forgot to export some names in C2HSDeprecated

Added support for gcc's __builtin_va_list

Library adapted to New FFI; the old interface can still be used by importing C2HSDeprecated

FFI Library specification added to the documentation

CygWin support; based on suggestions by Anibal Maffioletti Rodrigues de DEUS <anibaldedeus@email.com>

IntConv instances for Int8, Word8, and Char

Debugged the stripping of prefixes from enumerators; prefixes are now generally stripped, independent of whether they can be stripped from all enumerators of a given enumeration type

Comma now correctly required after underscoreToCase.

Provisional support for GHC 4.08

Corrected constant folding
