Now, the notebook interface runs its own ZeroMQ interface using the
EasyKernel module that is now exported from IHaskell's underlying
ipython-kernel library. This eliminates the line protocol with the
Python wrapper, and it should work on Windows (though it is not tested
there).
Part of this involved making the REPL monad able to change the IO action
used to print strings.
Continuing issues and improvment possibilities are in the issue tracker
- see issue #75 for a starting point.
There's now a more sensible hierarchy of locations that Cryptol uses to
look for modules. By default, in order it looks for libraries in:
1. The directories specified in the CRYPTOLPATH environment variable
2. The current directory
3. The user data directory (something like `$HOME/.cryptol`)
4. Relative to the executable's install directory
5. The static path used when building the executable (cabal's data-dir)
There is also a new command-line flag for the interpreter:
`--cryptolpath-only` which makes the interpreter ignore locations 2-5.
This commit also reworks the Makefile and build/release process. These
are bunched together because they play off each other quite a bit; the
build/release process determines the location of the `Cryptol.cry`,
which must be found when looking for modules.
Rather than leaning on `cabal install`, we now use a combination of
`cabal configure`, `cabal build`, and `cabal copy`. A couple of upshots
to this:
- More of the release staging is handled by cabal -- we don't have to go
in and manually copy things out of the sandbox. In fact, the `cryptol`
executable never goes into the sandbox.
- The testing infrastructure runs on executables that are in place in
the staging directory, rather than in the sandbox. This should be more
hygienic and realistic.
- The `Cryptol.cry` prelude file is now in `/share/cryptol` in order to
better reflect the common POSIX structure. This means Cryptol will
play nicer in global installs, and mirrors what other interpreted
languages do.
- The default build settings use a prefix of `/usr/local` rather than
using the sandbox directory. This makes them more relocatable for
binary distributions. Set PREFIX= before making to change this.
Cryptol's invocation of proof tools has changed quite a bit since this
PR was first opened, so this took a fair amount of work to
integrate. However we now have the :satNum option, and multiple sat
results are correctly bound to `it`.
We can take advantage of information from signatures if we check instead of
infer. I'm not sure if this is actually paying off, but it should mean that we
unify less when signatures are present, and generate goals that are a little
more specific.
