scripts/mgnuc.in:
Delete the unused variables AS, AS_OPTS, HLD_OPTS and ARG_OPTS.
The first two are hstorical relics, HLD_OPTS lost its raison d'etre
when we deleted the hl grades; I don't know what we used ARG_OPTS for.
Make the unused variable CFLAGS_FOR_ANSI used.
Fix a spelling inconsistency: DEBUG_OPT vs DEBUG_OPTS.
scripts/ml.in:
Delete the unused variables NONSHARED_LIB_DIR and DL_LIBRARY.
scripts/parse_grade_options.sh-subr:
Fix typos that prevented an almost-never-used option from working.
scripts/parse_ml_options.sh-subr.in:
Fix a quoting error.
tools/bootcheck:
Comment out the definition of an unused variable. (Its parallel
exists and is used in c2init.in, which is why it is not deleted.)
Fix typos in spelling SSDB_LIB_NAME.
Quote a variable value that may contain spaces.
Replace "cat file | cmd" with "cmd < file".
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.
