[back to package description]Build Systems à la Carte
This project provides an executable framework for developing and comparing build systems, viewing them as related points in landscape rather than as isolated phenomena. The code derives from the ICFP 2018 paper "Build Systems à la Carte".
Getting Started
To install from a Docker image do TODO: Insert instuctions here. After that you should have a copy of GHC and a standard Cabal project.
You may be interested to:
- Run
cabal testto execute all the provided build systems on a very simple example. - Run
cabal haddockto generate HTML documentation of all the interfaces. - Read the code, particularly System.hs which is the concrete implementation of all build systems. Following the imports (or the Haddock documentation) will lead you to all the consistuent parts.
Further Activities
There aren't really any. The code served as a proving ground for ideas, and it's existence both allows confirmation that our conclusions are valid, and opportunity to cheaply conduct further experiments. However, the code is a useful adjoint to the paper, it is not essential to it (other than we wouldn't have been able to discover what we did without an executable specification).
Background Information
The task abstraction is explored more completely in this blog post, and the motivation behind the project in an earlier blog post.
