This was Parsec's legacy that we should eliminate now. ‘Message’ does
not constitute enumeration, ‘toEnum’ was never properly defined for
it. The idea to use ‘fromEnum’ to determine type of ‘Message’ is also
ugly, for this purpose new functions ‘isUnexpected’, ‘isExpected’, and
‘isMessage’ are defined in ‘Text.Megaparsec.Error’.
What Parsec used is called “FreeBSD” or “BSD 2 clause”. Addition of the
third clause may require contacting all the authors. To hell with it,
let it be “FreeBSD” (which is anyway better than “BSD-like”), I'm a
hacker, not a lawyer (tm).
This commit clarifies license of the software replacing “BSD3” with more
conventional “BSD 3 clause”.
Another change is addition of the third clause originally missing in
license of Parsec (which is licensed under BSD 2 clause license). The
addition of the third clause in form:
* Neither the names of the copyright holders nor the names of
contributors may be used to endorse or promote products derived from
this software without specific prior written permission.
does not violate original BSD 2 clause license effectively making it BSD
3 clause license (which I find preferable).
Close#62.
Apart from some refactoring, the following important changes were
introduced:
* ‘ParseError’ is now a monoid.
* Added functions ‘addErrorMessages’ and ‘newErrorMessages’.
This patch introduces compatibility to base-4.7.0.x. It was tested
on Win 8.1 x86_64, using GHC 7.8.4. It mainly consists of a bunch
of #if !MIN_VERSION(4,8,0) ... #endif additions and a lower bound
on base in the cabal file as well as a general introduction of the
CPP extension via default-extensions.
It also removes a potential error source in tests/Util.hs, since
the backslash in /=\ can lead to strange quirks on certain systems
(backslash and newline only separated by whitespace).
Other, squashed commits:
- Remove 'recent version of base' from Readme
- Change necessary version of GHC
New tests shows that I had wrong assumption about workings of this
particular function. This is not a problem, though, complete test-suite
will eliminate this sort of nuisance soon.
