GHC.PackageDb

Description

This module provides the view of GHC's database of registered packages that is shared between GHC the compiler/library, and the ghc-pkg program. It defines the database format that is shared between GHC and ghc-pkg.

The database format, and this library are constructed so that GHC does not have to depend on the Cabal library. The ghc-pkg program acts as the gateway between the external package format (which is defined by Cabal) and the internal package format which is specialised just for GHC.

GHC the compiler only needs some of the information which is kept about registerd packages, such as module names, various paths etc. On the other hand ghc-pkg has to keep all the information from Cabal packages and be able to regurgitate it for users and other tools.

The first trick is that we duplicate some of the information in the package database. We essentially keep two versions of the datbase in one file, one version used only by ghc-pkg which keeps the full information (using the serialised form of the InstalledPackageInfo type defined by the Cabal library); and a second version written by ghc-pkg and read by GHC which has just the subset of information that GHC needs.

The second trick is that this module only defines in detail the format of the second version -- the bit GHC uses -- and the part managed by ghc-pkg is kept in the file but here we treat it as an opaque blob of data. That way this library avoids depending on Cabal.

Synopsis

Documentation

data InstalledPackageInfo compid srcpkgid srcpkgname instunitid unitid modulename mod Source #

This is a subset of Cabal's InstalledPackageInfo, with just the bits that GHC is interested in. See Cabal's documentation for a more detailed description of all of the fields.

Minimal complete definition

fromStringRep, toStringRep

class DbUnitIdModuleRep instunitid compid unitid modulename mod | mod -> unitid, unitid -> mod, mod -> modulename, unitid -> compid, unitid -> instunitid where Source #

A type-class for the types which can be converted into 'DbModule'/'DbUnitId'. There is only one type class because these types are mutually recursive. NB: The functional dependency helps out type inference in cases where types would be ambiguous.

fromDbModule, toDbModule, fromDbUnitId, toDbUnitId

Methods

fromDbModule :: DbModule instunitid compid unitid modulename mod -> mod Source #

toDbModule :: mod -> DbModule instunitid compid unitid modulename mod Source #

fromDbUnitId :: DbUnitId instunitid compid unitid modulename mod -> unitid Source #

toDbUnitId :: unitid -> DbUnitId instunitid compid unitid modulename mod Source #

emptyInstalledPackageInfo :: RepInstalledPackageInfo a b c d e f g => InstalledPackageInfo a b c d e f g Source #

data PackageDbLock Source #

Represents a lock of a package db.

lockPackageDb :: FilePath -> IO PackageDbLock Source #

Acquire an exclusive lock related to package DB under given location.

unlockPackageDb :: PackageDbLock -> IO () Source #

Release the lock related to package DB.

data DbMode Source #

Mode to open a package db in.

Constructors

DbReadOnly 
DbReadWrite 

data DbOpenMode (mode :: DbMode) t where Source #

DbOpenMode holds a value of type t but only in DbReadWrite mode. So it is like Maybe but with a type argument for the mode to enforce that the mode is used consistently.

Defined in GHC.PackageDb

Methods

traverse :: Applicative f => (a -> f b) -> DbOpenMode mode a -> f (DbOpenMode mode b) Source #

sequenceA :: Applicative f => DbOpenMode mode (f a) -> f (DbOpenMode mode a) Source #

mapM :: Monad m => (a -> m b) -> DbOpenMode mode a -> m (DbOpenMode mode b) Source #

sequence :: Monad m => DbOpenMode mode (m a) -> m (DbOpenMode mode a) Source #

readPackageDbForGhc :: RepInstalledPackageInfo a b c d e f g => FilePath -> IO [InstalledPackageInfo a b c d e f g] Source #

Read the part of the package DB that GHC is interested in.

readPackageDbForGhcPkg :: Binary pkgs => FilePath -> DbOpenMode mode t -> IO (pkgs, DbOpenMode mode PackageDbLock) Source #

Read the part of the package DB that ghc-pkg is interested in

Note that the Binary instance for ghc-pkg's representation of packages is not defined in this package. This is because ghc-pkg uses Cabal types (and Binary instances for these) which this package does not depend on.

If we open the package db in read only mode, we get its contents. Otherwise we additionally receive a PackageDbLock that represents a lock on the database, so that we can safely update it later.

writePackageDb :: (Binary pkgs, RepInstalledPackageInfo a b c d e f g) => FilePath -> [InstalledPackageInfo a b c d e f g] -> pkgs -> IO () Source #

Write the whole of the package DB, both parts.
