@hackage polyparse1.4.1

A variety of alternative parser combinator libraries.

polyparse - a collection of alternative parser combinator libraries
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Installation instructions: We currently support nhc98, ghc, and Hugs. The automatic configuration detects which compilers/interpreters you have, and prepares a build tree for each. Installation may require write-permission on the system directories of the compiler/interpreter. The libraries and interfaces can then be used as "-package polyparse" (for ghc/nhc98 - no extra options required for Hugs).

sh configure
make
make install

Options to configure are: --buildwith=... e.g. ghc-6.6, to build for a specific compiler --prefix=... e.g. /usr/local, to change installation location

Complaints to: :-) Malcolm.Wallace@cs.york.ac.uk

P.S. For those building on Windows /without/ Cygwin, you can avoid the need for configure/make steps by simply running the minimal build script in Build.bat You will need to edit it for the location of your compiler etc.

What this package contains:

docs/ Some rudimentary HTML documentation about the libraries. docs/haddock/ Haddock-generated API documentation. examples/ Some small examples of how the libraries are used.

src/Text Parse A replacement for the Prelude Read class. Parse/ByteString Like Text.Parse, except input is ByteString. src/Text/ParserCombinators HuttonMeijer Early parser combinators from 1996. HuttonMeijerWallace Extended for arbitrary token type + running state + error msgs. src/Text/ParserCombinators/Poly Space-efficient parsers. Base A class-based interface. Most combinators defined here. Plain The instance for simple polymorphic parsers. Lazy The instance for lazy polymorphic parsers. State The instance for strict polymorphic parsers with state. StateLazy The instance for lazy polymorphic parsers with state. ByteString An experimental instance for parsing from ByteString.
