Extra programs in the Mercury implementation
|
|
============================================
|
|
|
|
This directory contains various libraries and tools
|
|
that are not an integral part of the Mercury implementation.
|
|
|
|
Most of these can be built by running the commands
|
|
`mmake depend` and then `mmake` in the relevant subdirectory,
|
|
and many can be installed by running `mmake install`.
|
|
|
|
* [base64](base64) -- A library for base64 encoding and decoding.
|
|
|
|
* [cgi](cgi) -- Some Mercury library modules for doing HTML forms programming
|
|
using CGI (the Common Gateway Interface).
|
|
|
|
* [complex_numbers](complex_numbers) -- A Mercury library package containing
|
|
support for complex and imaginary numbers.
|
|
|
|
* [curs](curs) -- A Mercury library providing a somewhat more complete
|
|
and more faithful binding to the curses and panel libraries
|
|
(the latter is used to provide elementary windowing facilities,
|
|
rather than doing so in Mercury).
|
|
|
|
* [curses](curses) -- A Mercury library providing a (partial) binding to
|
|
curses, a traditional Unix library that provides methods for manipulating
|
|
terminal screens (creating windows, placing characters, etc).
|
|
|
|
* [dynamic_linking](dynamic_linking) -- An interface to the C functions
|
|
`dlopen()`, `dlsym()`, etc. that are supported by most modern Unix systems.
|
|
|
|
* [fixed](fixed) -- An implementation of fixed-point arithmetic
|
|
with the COBOL semantics.
|
|
|
|
* [gmp_int](gmp_int) -- A Mercury binding to
|
|
[GNU Multiple Precision Arithmetic Library](https://gmplib.org), providing
|
|
integers with arbitrary precision.
|
|
|
|
* [graphics](graphics) -- Some packages for doing graphics programming and GUIs in Mercury:
|
|
- a binding to Tcl/Tk
|
|
- a binding to OpenGL
|
|
- a binding to GLUT
|
|
- a binding to GLFW
|
|
- a simplified binding to Xlib
|
|
- a binding to Allegro/AllegroGL
|
|
- a binding to [Cairo](https://www.cairographics.org).
|
|
|
|
* [lex](lex) -- A lexer package for Mercury that works over the I/O state, strings,
|
|
and so forth. It comes with a rich set of standard regular expressions,
|
|
and users can add their own.
|
|
|
|
* [log4m](log4m) -- A Mercury implementation of logging, in the spirit of
|
|
[log4j](http://logging.apache.org/log4j/docs/).
|
|
|
|
* [moose](moose) -- A parser generator for Mercury. Moose works much like
|
|
`yacc` or `bison`, in that it takes a grammar and generates a table driven
|
|
LALR parser for it. You can add code to the grammar to handle synthesized or
|
|
inherited attributes. Currently you need to write your own lexer to interface
|
|
to moose.
|
|
|
|
* [mopenssl](mopenssl) -- A Mercury binding to the
|
|
[OpenSSL](https://www.openssl.org) library.
|
|
|
|
* [morphine](morphine) -- A trace analysis system for Mercury.
|
|
|
|
* [mp_int](mp_int) -- A multi-precision integer type based on a binding
|
|
to the [libtommath](https://www.libtom.net/LibTomMath/) library.
|
|
|
|
* [net](net) -- A network library which uses the standard library stream interface.
|
|
|
|
* [odbc](odbc) -- A Mercury interface to ODBC (Open Database Connectivity),
|
|
for interfacing to standard relational database packages.
|
|
|
|
* [old_library_modules](old_library_modules) -- Some old modules of the
|
|
Mercury standard library that had breaking changes applied to them, preserved
|
|
for users who prefer not to update their code to accommodate those changes.
|
|
|
|
* [posix](posix) -- A Mercury interface to some of the POSIX
|
|
(Portable Operating System Interface) APIs.
|
|
|
|
* [random](random) -- Some additional instances of the random typeclasses from
|
|
the standard library.
|
|
|
|
* [references](references) -- A library package containing modules for
|
|
manipulating ML-style references (mutable state).
|
|
|
|
* [solver_types](solver_types) -- Contains versions of some standard library
|
|
modules adapted to make them suitable for use with solver types.
|
|
|
|
* [trailed_update](trailed_updated) -- Some library modules that make use of
|
|
backtrackable destructive update, including a module which provides some
|
|
support for Prolog-style unification constraints.
|
|
|
|
* [windows_installer_generator](window_installer_generator) -- A library for
|
|
generating WiX source files. WiX is an XML language that is used to generate
|
|
Microsoft Windows Installer (.msi) packages.
|
|
|
|
* [xml](xml) -- An XML parsing library.
|
|
|
|
* [xml_stylesheets](xml_stylesheets) -- Sample stylesheets that can be used
|
|
with the `term_to_xml` module in the standard library.
