module System.Plugins.Make

-- | The <tt>MakeStatus</tt> type represents success or failure of

--   returns any error messages produced by the compiler.
--   <tt>MakeSuccess</tt> returns a <tt>MakeCode</tt> value, and the path
--   to the object file produced.
data MakeStatus

-- | compilation was successful
MakeSuccess :: MakeCode -> FilePath -> MakeStatus

-- | compilation failed
MakeFailure :: Errors -> MakeStatus

-- | The <tt>MakeCode</tt> type is used when compilation is successful, to
--   distinguish two cases: * The source file needed recompiling, and this
--   was done * The source file was already up to date, recompilation was
--   skipped
data MakeCode

-- | recompilation was performed
ReComp :: MakeCode

-- | recompilation was not required
NotReq :: MakeCode

-- | One-shot unconditional compilation of a single Haskell module.
--   <tt>make</tt> behaves like 'ghc -c'. Extra arguments to <a>ghc</a> may
--   be passed in the <tt>args</tt> parameter, they will be appended to the
--   argument list. <tt>make</tt> always recompiles its target, whether or
--   not it is out of date.
--   
--   A side-effect of calling <a>make</a> is to have GHC produce a
--   <tt>.hi</tt> file containing a list of package and objects that the
--   source depends on. Subsequent calls to <tt>load</tt> will use this
--   interface file to load module and library dependencies prior to
--   loading the object itself.
make :: FilePath -> [Arg] -> IO MakeStatus

-- | <a>makeAll</a> recursively compiles any dependencies it can find using
--   GHC's <tt>--make</tt> flag. Dependencies will be recompiled only if
--   they are visible to <a>ghc</a> -- this may require passing appropriate
--   include path flags in the <tt>args</tt> parameter. <a>makeAll</a>
--   takes the top-level file as the first argument.
makeAll :: FilePath -> [Arg] -> IO MakeStatus

-- | This is a variety of <a>make</a> that first calls <a>merge</a> to
--   combine the plugin source with a syntax stub. The result is then
--   compiled. This is provided for EDSL authors who wish to add extra
--   syntax to a user's source. It is important to note that the module and
--   types from the second file argument are used to override any of those
--   that appear in the first argument. For example, consider the following
--   source files:
--   
--   <pre>
--   module A where
--   a :: Integer
--   a = 1
--   </pre>
--   
--   and
--   
--   <pre>
--   module B where
--   a :: Int
--   </pre>
--   
--   Calling <tt>makeWith <a>A</a> <a>B</a> []</tt> will merge the module
--   name and types from module B into module A, generating a third file:
--   
--   <pre>
--   {-# LINE 1 "A.hs" #-}
--   module MxYz123 where
--   {-# LINE 3 "B.hs" #-}

-- | <a>recompileAll</a> is like <a>makeAll</a>, but rather than relying on

-- | Merge to source files into a temporary file. If we've tried to merge
--   these two stub files before, then reuse the module name (helps

--   
--   The merging operation is extremely useful for providing extra default
--   syntax. An EDSL user then need not worry about declaring module names,
--   or having required imports. In this way, the stub file can also be
--   used to provide syntax declarations that would be inconvenient to
--   require of the plugin author.
--   
--   <a>merge</a> will include any import and export declarations written
--   in the stub, as well as any module name, so that plugin author's need
--   not worry about this compulsory syntax. Additionally, if a plugin
--   requires some non-standard library, which must be provided as a
--   <tt>-package</tt> flag to GHC, they may specify this using the
--   non-standard <tt>GLOBALOPTIONS</tt> pragma. Options specified in the
--   source this way will be added to the command line. This is useful for
--   users who wish to use GHC flags that cannot be specified using the
--   conventional <tt>OPTIONS</tt> pragma. The merging operation uses the
--   parser hs-plugins was configured with, either <a>Haskell</a> or the
--   HSX parser, to parse Haskell source files.

-- | An interface to the GHC runtime's dynamic linker, providing runtime
--   loading and linking of Haskell object files, commonly known as
--   <i>plugins</i>.
module System.Plugins.Load

-- | The <tt>LoadStatus</tt> type encodes the return status of functions
--   that perform dynamic loading in a type isomorphic to <a>Either</a>.
--   Failure returns a list of error strings, success returns a reference
--   to a loaded module, and the Haskell value corresponding to the symbol
--   that was indexed.
data LoadStatus a
LoadSuccess :: Module -> a -> LoadStatus a
LoadFailure :: Errors -> LoadStatus a

-- | <a>load</a> is the basic interface to the dynamic loader. A call to
--   <a>load</a> imports a single object file into the caller's address
--   space, returning the value associated with the symbol requested.
--   Libraries and modules that the requested module depends upon are
--   loaded and linked in turn.
--   
--   The first argument is the path to the object file to load, the second
--   argument is a list of directories to search for dependent modules. The
--   third argument is a list of paths to user-defined, but unregistered,
--   <i>package.conf</i> files. The <a>Symbol</a> argument is the symbol
--   name of the value you with to retrieve.
--   
--   The value returned must be given an explicit type signature, or
--   provided with appropriate type constraints such that Haskell compiler
--   can determine the expected type returned by <a>load</a>, as the return
--   type is notionally polymorphic.
--   
--   Example:
--   
--   <pre>
--   do mv &lt;- load "Plugin.o" ["api"] [] "resource"

-- | Evaluate Haskell at runtime, using runtime compilation and dynamic
--   loading. Arguments are compiled to native code, and dynamically
--   loaded, returning a Haskell value representing the compiled argument.
--   The underlying implementation treats <a>String</a> arguments as the
--   source for plugins to be compiled at runtime.
module System.Eval.Haskell

-- | <a>eval</a> provides a typesafe (to a limit) form of runtime
--   evaluation for Haskell -- a limited form of <i>runtime
--   metaprogramming</i>. The <a>String</a> argument to <a>eval</a> is a
--   Haskell source fragment to evaluate at rutime. <tt>imps</tt> are a
--   list of module names to use in the context of the compiled value.
--   
--   The value returned by <a>eval</a> is constrained to be <a>Typeable</a>
--   -- meaning we can perform a <i>limited</i> runtime typecheck, using
--   the <a>dynload</a> function. One consequence of this is that the code
--   must evaluate to a monomorphic value (which will be wrapped in a
--   <a>Dynamic</a>).
--   
--   If the evaluated code typechecks under the <a>Typeable</a>
--   constraints, 'Just v' is returned. <a>Nothing</a> indicates
--   typechecking failed. Typechecking may fail at two places: when
--   compiling the argument, or when typechecking the splice point.
--   <a>eval</a> resembles a metaprogramming <tt>run</tt> operator for
--   <i>closed</i> source fragments.
--   
--   To evaluate polymorphic values you need to wrap them in data
--   structures using rank-N types.
--   
--   Examples:
--   
--   <pre>
--   do i &lt;- eval "1 + 6 :: Int" [] :: IO (Maybe Int)

eval_ :: Typeable a => String -> [Import] -> [String] -> [FilePath] -> [FilePath] -> IO (Either [String] (Maybe a))

-- | Sometimes when constructing string fragments to evaluate, the
--   programmer is able to provide some other constraint on the evaluated
--   string, such that the evaluated expression will be typesafe, without
--   requiring a <a>Typeable</a> constraint. In such cases, the monomorphic
--   restriction is annoying. <a>unsafeEval</a> removes any splice-point
--   typecheck, with an accompanying obligation on the programmer to ensure
--   that the fragment evaluated will be typesafe at the point it is
--   spliced.
--   
--   An example of how to do this would be to wrap the fragment in a call
--   to <a>show</a>. The augmented fragment would then be checked when
--   compiled to return a <a>String</a>, and the programmer can rely on
--   this, without requiring a splice-point typecheck, and thus no
--   <a>Typeable</a> restriction.
--   
--   Note that if you get the proof wrong, your program will likely
--   segfault.
--   
--   Example:
--   
--   <pre>
--   do s &lt;- unsafeEval "map toUpper \"haskell\"" ["Data.Char"]
--      when (isJust s) $ putStrLn (fromJust s)
--   </pre>
unsafeEval :: String -> [Import] -> IO (Maybe a)

-- | <a>unsafeEval_</a> is a form of <a>unsafeEval</a> with all internal
--   hooks exposed. This is useful for application wishing to return error
--   messages to users, to specify particular libraries to link against and
--   so on.
unsafeEval_ :: String -> [Import] -> [String] -> [FilePath] -> [FilePath] -> IO (Either [String] a)

-- | Return a compiled value's type, by using Dynamic to get a
--   representation of the inferred type.
typeOf :: String -> [Import] -> IO String

-- | <a>mkHsValues</a> is a helper function for converting <a>Map</a>s of
--   names and values into Haskell code. It relies on the assumption of
--   names and values into Haskell code. It relies on the assumption that
--   the passed values' Show instances produce valid Haskell literals (this
--   is true for all Prelude types).
