| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Reworking of the internals to support documenting function arguments (the Most Wanted new feature by the punters). The old method of keeping parsed documentation in a Name -> Doc mapping wasn't going to cut it for anntations on type components, where there's no name to attach the documentation to, so I've moved to storing all the documentation in the abstract syntax. Previously some of the documentation was left in the abstract syntax by the parser, but was later extracted into the mapping. In order to avoid having to parameterise the abstract syntax over the type of documentation stored in it, we have to parse the documentation at the same time as we parse the Haskell source (well, I suppose we could store 'Either String Doc' in the HsSyn, but that's clunky). One upshot is that documentation is now parsed eagerly, and documentation parse errors are fatal (but have better line numbers in the error message). The new story simplifies matters for the code that processes the source modules, because we don't have to maintain the extra Name->Doc mapping, and it should improve efficiency a little too. New features: - Function arguments and return values can now have doc annotations. - If you refer to a qualified name in a doc string, eg. 'IO.putStr', then Haddock will emit a hyperlink even if the identifier is not in scope, so you don't have to make sure everything referred to from the documentation is imported. - several bugs & minor infelicities fixed.

| | | | Type synonyms can accept a ctype on the RHS, to match GHC.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a facility for specifying options that affect Haddock's treatment of the module. Options are given at the top of the module in a comma-separated list, beginning with '-- #'. eg. -- # prune, hide, ignore-exports Options currently available, with their meanings: prune: ignore declarations which have no documentation annotations ignore-exports: act as if the export list were not specified (i.e. export everything local to the module). hide: do not include this module in the generated documentation, but propagate any exported definitions to modules which re-export them. There's a slight change in the semantics for re-exporting a full module by giving 'module M' in the export list: if module M does not have the 'hide' option, then the documentation will now just contain a reference to module M rather than the full inlined contents of that module. These features, and some other changes in the pipeline, are the result of discussions between myself and Manuel Chakravarty <chak@cse.unsw.edu.au> (author of IDoc) yesterday. Also: some cleanups, use a Writer monad to collect error messages in some places instead of just printing them with trace.

| | | | Handle gcons in export lists (a common extension).

| | | | | Not sure why I made the constructor name for a record declaration into a TyCls name, but change it back into a Var name anyhow.

This is Haddock, my stab at a Haskell documentation tool. It's not quite ready for release yet, but I'm putting it in the repository so others can take a look. It uses a locally modified version of the hssource parser, extended with support for GHC extensions and documentation annotations.
