19		Description:
20
21		Merging changes from the mcz-branch development branch into trunk.
22		These changes involve replacement of the emulated old prettyprinter
23		interface with direct use of the SML/NJ Lib PP library, and fixing
24		of a couple of bugs (895, 1186) relating to error messages.  A new
25		prettyprinter for ast datatypes (Elaborator/print/ppast.{sig,sml})
26		has been added.

32		Description:
33
34		Version number bumped to 110.42.9.  NEW BOOTFILES!!!

36		http://smlnj.cs.uchicago.edu/dist/working/110.42.9/
37
38		This patch restores SML/NJ's ability to run under win32.  There are a
39		number of changes, including fixes for several bugs that had gone
40		unnoticed until now:
41
42		- uname "CYGWIN_NT*" is recognized as win32 (This is relevant only when
43		trying to run the win32 version from within cygwin.)
44
45		- There are a number of simple .bat scripts that substitute for their
46		corresponding Unix shell-scripts.  (See below.)
47
48		- The internals of ml-build have been modified slightly.  The main
49		difference is that instead of calling ".link-sml" (or link-sml.bat)
50		using OS.Process.system, the ML process delegates this task back
51		to the script.  Otherwise problems arise in mixed environments such
52		as Cygwin where scripts look and work like Unix scripts, but
53		where OS.Process.system cannot run them.
54
55		- In CM, the srcpath pickler used native pathname syntax -- which
56		is incorrect in the case of cross-compilation.  The new pickle format
57		is independent of platform-specific naming conventions.
58
59		- Path configuration files (such as lib/pathconfig) can now choose
60		between native and standard syntax.  Placing a line of the form
61
62		standard!
63
64		into the file causes all subsequent paths to be interpreted using
65		CM standard pathname syntax (= Unix conventions); a line
66
67		native!
68
69		switches back to native style.  This was needed so that
70		path config files can be written portably, see src/system/pathconfig.
71
72		- Runtime system:
73
74		- win32-filesys.c:  get_file_time and set_file_time now
75		access modification time, not creation time.
76
77		- I/O code made aware of new array representation.
78
79		- Bug fixes in X86.prim.masm.
80
81		- src/system/makeml made aware of win32. (For use under cygwin
82		and other Unix-environments for windows.)
83
84		- In Basis, fixed off-by-one error in win32-io.sml (function vecF)
85		which caused BinIO.inputAll to fail consistently.
86
87		.bat scripts:
88
89		Windows .bat scripts assume that SMLNJ_HOME is defined.
90
91		- sml.bat, ml-yacc.bat, ml-lex.bat:  Driver scripts for standalone
92		applications (sml, ml-yacc, ml-lex).
93		- ml-build.bat: analogous to ml-build.
94		- config\install.bat:  Analogous to config/install.sh.  This requires
95		that SMLNJ_HOME is set and that Microsoft Visual C is ready to use.
96		(nmake etc. must be on the path, and vcvars32 must have been run.)
97		Moreover, sources for ml-lex and ml-yacc need to exist under src,
98		and the bootfile hierarchy must have been unpacked under
99		sml.boot.x86-win32.
100		The script is very primitive and does a poor job at error checking.
101		It only installs the base system, ml-lex, and ml-yacc.  No other
102		libraries are being installed (i.e., you get only those that
103		are part of the compiler.)
104		- link-sml.bat:  analogous to .link-sml, but not currently used
105
106		Unrelated bug fixes:
107
108		- ml-nlffigen now exports structures ST_* corresponding to incomplete
109		types.
110		- Added getDevice to PP/src/pp-debug-fn.sml.  (Would not compile
111		otherwise.)
