tools/bootcheck:
Build the dependencies for auxiliary programs, and the programs themselves,
in the browser and profiler directories.
Mmakefile:
Provide targets for bootcheck to use to make dependencies for the
auxiliary programs in the browser and profiler directories.
browser/Mmakefile:
Take the two aux programs in this directory out of the "all" target.
Due to past bitrot, one gets errors during compilation, the other
during linking. (The "all" target is not used by default, which is why
this has not been a problem.)
Add depend_aux and aux targets that should build these programs
if they are ever fixed. The aux target is empty for now; the depend_aux
target does make dependencies for both aux programs (since that still
works, and we want to keep it that way).
profiler/Mmakefile:
Add depend_aux and aux targets that build the one auxiliary program
in this directory that works now. Add a comment about the other program
that doesn't.
Mercury
Mercury is a logic/functional programming language which combines the clarity and the expressiveness of declarative programming with advanced static analysis and error detection features.
More information is available on the website's about pages, in other README files in the source code repository, and in the documentation.
README files
The Mercury compiler has a number of different backends and works on different operating systems. Specific information is contained in individual README files:
-
Bootstrapping discusses how to get Mercury installed.
This is important as the Mercury compiler is written in Mercury.
-
C Low-level backend
This backend works well with GCC but also works with:
-
High-level backend targets
-
Platforms
-
Cross compilation
Other information
See the current release notes for the latest stable release. The history file is relevant if you want to find out more about the past development of Mercury. News lists any current or future enhancements (but this isn't always up-to-date). The limitations file lists a number of ways in which the Mercury implementation does not yet meet its goals.
Information for developers
If you are considering contributing to the Mercury project the website contains some documents that may be helpful. These include a document about contributions in general and specific information about contributing such as coding styles.
