[curry] Re: Specifying default rules: Why and how?

22 Nov 2018

      I've almost got currypp working! It's installed, but reports
"pakcs-frontend: /usr/lib/pakcs/lib/.curry/Prelude.uacy: openFile:
permission denied (Permission denied)
ERROR: i/o error: ERROR: user error: Illegal source program". I put more
details on StackOverflow[1].

Thank you both!

Hi Jeff,
maybe at some tome in the future, default rules, set functions etc
will become part of the syntax of Curry and, thus, processed by
the standard parser.
In the current "development" state, they are processed and
implemented by the Curry preprocessor. This provides more flexibility
for us (to play with different implementations) but allows
also unintended uses. As a compromise, you might use CurryCheck,
a property-based test tool which also perform some static code tests.
For instance, running CurryCheck on your program generates the
the message
Analyzing module 'Test'...
==============================================================================
STATIC ERRORS IN PROGRAMS:
'Test' uses default rules or det. operations but not the preprocessor!
Hint: insert line: {-# OPTIONS_CYMAKE -F --pgmF=currypp #-}
==============================================================================
Hence, you see what is missing...
CurryCheck can easily be installed by Curry's package manager:
...
cypm update && cypm install currycheck
Best regards,
Michael

Hi Jeff
Answered on Stackoverflow.  Good question.  The tutorial should be
    clear about using the preprocessor.  Sorry.
