Fix a test case failure in spf grades.
library/math.m:
Document how the "next integer" operations handle arguments of infinite
magnitude.
tests/general/float_test.m:
s/ceil/ceiling/ in a spot.
Test next integer operations with +/-infinity (and zero).
In the erlang grades, avoid running parts of these tests that
rely on library functionality that is NYI.
Document what the expected outputs correspond to.
tests/general/float_test.exp:
Update this expected output.
tests/general/float_test.exp2:
Replace the contents of this file: previously it contained output for
some ancient version of MSVC; it now contains the spf version of the
output.
tests/general/float_test.exp3:
A new expected output for the erlang grades.
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.
