Seqaid.Config

Description

Details concerning the seqaid.config file.

The purpose of the seqaid.config file is to control the extent of coverage of the automatically injected instrumentation harness.

At this early stage, additional Cabal flags and even some per-module CPP switches are used to further vary the behaviour of seqaid. These alternatives will become documented as they find a reflection in the seqaid.config. Also, see Seqaid.Ann for a few user annotations, which will also be deprecated soon...

The format of seqaid.config is a seqence of lines, which can be one of three kinds:

  • Blank lines (containing only whitespace)
  • Comment lines (first non-whitespace character is #)
  • Configuration lines

Configuration lines begin with a keyword, and are followed by one or more arguments. Arguments are comma-separated. Layout is used when keywords generate nested structure.

For instance, here is the seqaid.config file from the leaky package:

 package    leaky
 module     Main
   binds    duty
     types  Types.TA
 instances  Types.TA, Types.TB, Types.TC

(The extra whitespace after the keywords is purely cosmetic.)

More documentation is pending, but for additional explanations about this particular example, please refer to this document.
