ANNOUNCE: c2hs 0.15.0 "Rainy Days"

[Duncan Coutts]

All,

c2hs  0.15.0 code name "Rainy Days" is out and available from hackage
http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/c2hs-0.15.0

or the c2hs website:
http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~chak/haskell/c2hs/
http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~chak/haskell/c2hs/c2hs-0.15.0.tar.gz

If this package turns out not to be totally broken then I'll announce it
on the main Haskell mailing list.

Some notable changes since 0.14.5:
      * New C parser that can parse all of C99 and GNU C
      * Lots and lots of old code removal
      * Make c2hs integrate better with Cabal (1.1.7 or later)
      * Several bug fixes and improvements from Udo:
              * allowing variadic functions in structures
              * allowing call and fun hooks for FunPtrs in C structs
              * embedded arrays size calculated correctly

Duncan

Hi Ducan,

Is there any reason why the tests (directory c2hs/tests) and the
documentation (directory doc) are removed from the tarball in this
release?
I would like to have the documentation added again to the tarball for
the Debian packages. (The Debian policy requires a manpage for each
binary, such as c2hs, which was in the doc directory.)

Greetings Arjan Oosting

I didn't deliberately remove them as such, I used cabal's sdist this
time and we've not added the other files to the extra-source-files field
in the c2hs.cabal file.

Right 'o, I'll add these for the next minor release. I'll give it a few
days and see if anything else turns up too.

So I've added these to the c2hs.cabal file however it's still not very
useful. The man1/c2hs.1.in needs various values to be substituted into
it. Currently there is nothing that does that automatically. The
c2hs.sgml is supposed to be processed with sgml2html however I cannot
find a version of this program that can process this file without
errors. Both documents are also quite out of date.

Suggestions or assistance is welcome.

Duncan
