polyparse - a collection of alternative parser combinator libraries ------------------------------------------------------------------- Installation instructions: We currently support nhc98, ghc, and Hugs. The automatic configuration detects which compilers/interpreters you have, and prepares a build tree for each. Installation may require write-permission on the system directories of the compiler/interpreter. The libraries and interfaces can then be used as "-package polyparse" (for ghc/nhc98 - no extra options required for Hugs). sh configure make make install Options to configure are: --buildwith=... e.g. ghc-6.6, to build for a specific compiler --prefix=... e.g. /usr/local, to change installation location Complaints to: :-) Malcolm.Wallace@cs.york.ac.uk P.S. For those building on Windows /without/ Cygwin, you can avoid the need for configure/make steps by simply running the minimal build script in Build.bat You will need to edit it for the location of your compiler etc. ---- What this package contains: docs/ Some rudimentary HTML documentation about the libraries. docs/haddock/ Haddock-generated API documentation. examples/ Some small examples of how the libraries are used. src/Text Parse A replacement for the Prelude Read class. src/Text/ParserCombinators HuttonMeijer Early parser combinators from 1996. HuttonMeijerWallace Extended for arbitrary token type + running state + error msgs. Poly Space-efficient combinators that allow arbitrary token type. PolyState arbitrary token type + running state. PolyLazy arbitrary token type + lazy return of results. PolyStateLazy arbitrary token type + running state + lazy results. src/Text/ParserCombinators/Poly Base A class-based interface to more specific parser types. Plain The instance for simple polymorphic parsers. Lazy The instance for lazy polymorphic parsers. State The instance for strict polymorphic parsers with state. StateLazy The instance for lazy polymorphic parsers with state. Stream An experimental instance for stream-based parsers. src/Text/ParserCombinators/Poly/NoLeak An experimental attempt to plug more space leaks. Plain The instance for simple non-leaking parsers. Lazy The instance for lazy non-leaking parsers. State The instance for strict non-leaking parsers with state. StateLazy The instance for lazy non-leaking parsers with state. ----
