ijones**20040801211834
 
 (12:10:13) Marvin--: SyntaxLaptop: the example Setup.lhs on page 3 is wrong, it should import defaultMain and set main = defaultMain
 (12:10:46) Marvin--: SyntaxLaptop: and I think we call it sdist, not src-dist?
 (12:20:38) Marvin--: SyntaxLaptop:  \"funky, path\\\\name\"   is really broken, it should be  "funky, path\\name"
 (12:20:47) Marvin--: the escapes comes from being in a haskell string in the module! :)
 
 (12:22:10) Marvin--: hmm, now I think I remember what the issue with the dashes was
 (12:23:08) Marvin--: oh, and it should be documented exactly what paths look like
 (12:23:43) Marvin--: page 18 says import Distribution.Make (setup), that damn well should be defaultMain too ;-)
 (13:14:15) igloo: Oh, Marvin, am I being dopey or does the new spec not answer my questions about eh example at the start?
 (13:14:37) igloo: e.g. how does it know which files are part of the package

 * Added note about chasing dependencies and "modules" field:
    Note that in the future, though the Modules field will be
    available, it will not be necessary to provide it for building
    executables and libraries.  Instead, the user will provide only the
    "Main-Is" field (for executables) and the "Exposed-Modules" field
    (for libraries).  The system will chase down dependencies from
    those modules and include them in the library or source
    distributions.

 It is not clear from the report what 'threadsafe' means but my best

 which support a single Haskell thread may safely ignore the

 should either add extra locking or reject 'threadsafe' ffi

 finalize _Haskell_ objects which contain C objects using Haskell

[Added my comments from last night.
reid**20021015112907
 
 The structure of the document isn't quite ideal (too many forward
 references) but didn't want to mess with it too much.
 
 There were conflicts with the previous commit which I did my best to
 resolve.  I don't think I broke anything but I couldn't always
 identify what had been changed in the previous commit so I may not
 have been successful.

[Clarified that all operations in Bits are member functions of the

 type class.  Reverse the meaning of the sign of the second argument
 for `rotate' and `shift' (this makes it the same as GHC used all
 the time).  `bitSize' on `Integer' etc is now undefined.
 
 Allowing multiple calls to hs_init() and clarified the constraints
 on the relative timing between hs_set_argv() and
 getProgName/getArgs.

[Added some clarifications
chak**20020910134905] 
[* 1.4:   Clarified the wording
chak**20020910122304
 * 4.1.4: clarified that header files
          do not impact the semantics of foreign calls, but may be required
          for correct code generation by some systems
 * 5.5:   Finalisers must be external functions to facilitate the
          implementation on Haskell systems that do not support pre-emptive
          concurrency
] 
[I've applied all the changes discussed over the last 2 moniths that
reid**20020809113244
 received some support and no dissent.
 
   Changes since RC5:
   * Author list: changed Alastair Reid's institution
   * 4.1.1: Removed [lib] from impent syntax and discussion
   * 4.1.3: Added parentheses round FunPtr ft to make it easier to
            understand a tolerably complex type.
   * 4.1.4: Removed all mention of library objects
   * 6:     Specified that HsBool==int in table2
            Relabelled column 1 in table 3 (C symbol -> CPP symbol)
            Replaced 0 and 1 with HS_BOOL_FALSE/TRUE
 
 You will need this file:
 
   http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~chak/haskell/grammar.sty
 
 to build it.  (I came close to adding this file to the repo but
 figured that Manuel must have a reason for not having done so
 himself.)
 
 Changes not applied:
 
 - I really, really want to resolve the ForeignPtr issues soon.
 
     http://www.mail-archive.com/ffi@haskell.org/msg00655.html
     http://www.mail-archive.com/ffi@haskell.org/msg00544.html
     http://www.mail-archive.com/ffi@haskell.org/msg00545.html
 
 - I'd like to see a standard way to call the GC from C
 
     http://www.mail-archive.com/ffi@haskell.org/msg00565.html
 
   Note that Hugs and GHC have had this for ages except that we call the
   function 'performGC' and there's no way to control how many generations
   are collected.
 
 - I see the question of Function prototypes as a portability problem
   waiting to happen.  Either Hugs and GHC are right (you should use the
   user-supplied header file or NHC is right (you should ignore the
   header file).  They can't both be right if we want portable code
   so the report should be clear about which one is right.
 
   (Given my druthers, I'd drop header files from the foreign import syntax
   and say that you have to specify it on the command line or propose that
   we standardize some variant of the GHCism {-# -include "foo.h" #-}.  But
   I'm not excited enough about it to push hard for this.)

[* 5.6: Clarified documentation of `StablePtr's

[Changes discussed on the FFI list:
chak**20020426074017
 
 * Added threadsafe
 
 * Replaced `entity' by `impent' and `expent'
] 
[* 5.8: Clarified documentation for `MarshalAlloc.free'.
chak**20020409015241
 * 5.8: Added `MarshalAlloc.realloc'.
 * 3.2: Clarified the description of foreign types; so far, `IO ()' was
   strictly speaking not included as a valid return type.  Currently,
   functions of type `a -> ()' are included.  Do we want this?  Their use
   might not be portable if they include side effects.
 * 4.1.5: New section discussing the traps & pitfalls of type promotion with
   C bindings.
