Description

This should be a much more sophisticated abstraction than it is. Currently it's just a bit of data about the compiler, like it's flavour and name and version. The reason it's just data is because currently it has to be in `Read` and `Show` so it can be saved along with the `LocalBuildInfo`. The only interesting bit of info it contains is a mapping between language extensions and compiler command line flags. This module also defines a `PackageDB` type which is used to refer to package databases. Most compilers only know about a single global package collection but GHC has a global and per-user one and it lets you create arbitrary other package databases. We do not yet fully support this latter feature.

# Support for package databases

data PackageDB Source

Some compilers have a notion of a database of available packages. For some there is just one global db of packages, other compilers support a per-user or an arbitrary db specified at some location in the file system. This can be used to build isloated environments of packages, for example to build a collection of related packages without installing them globally.

type PackageDBStack = [PackageDB] Source

We typically get packages from several databases, and stack them together. This type lets us be explicit about that stacking. For example typical stacks include:

    [GlobalPackageDB]
    [GlobalPackageDB, UserPackageDB]
    [GlobalPackageDB, SpecificPackageDB "package.conf.inplace"]

Note that the `GlobalPackageDB` is invariably at the bottom since it contains the rts, base and other special compiler-specific packages.

We are not restricted to using just the above combinations. In particular we can use several custom package dbs and the user package db together.

When it comes to writing, the top most (last) package is used.

registrationPackageDB :: PackageDBStack -> PackageDB Source

Return the package that we should register into. This is the package db at the top of the stack.

absolutePackageDBPaths :: PackageDBStack -> IO PackageDBStack Source

Make package paths absolute

absolutePackageDBPath :: PackageDB -> IO PackageDB Source

# Support for optimisation levels

Some compilers support optimising. Some have different levels. For compilers that do not the level is just capped to the level they do support.
