Hello Simon,
System.Environment.getEnv should work on Win32. For the others, it
would possibly make sense to include these in System.Environment, with
implementations for both Unix & Win32.
getEnv works yes, but I wanted to have setEnv and unsetEnv too, and I
think the interface was somehow different.
For Posix.Process
getProcessTimes :: IO ProcessTimes
getProcessID :: IO Int
Should probably be in System.Win32 somewhere.
Oh - I have completely overlooked System.Win32 - I'll take a dive into
that and see what I can find there!
The code itself is dual-licensed under the Artistic License and GPL
and thus should be compatible with whatever license GHC uses.
Unfortunately we can't take code under that license into our existing
packages - the rule is that each package has a single license, and
currently all the packages distributed with GHC have a BSD3 license,
with the exception of readline. You can start new packages, of course.
I did not express myself well - by "dual licensed" I mean that the
choice of license is with the user of the code, and this code offers two
licenses, the viral GPL and the reuse friendly Artistic License. I
imagine that if you chose the Artistic License there should be no
problem, but I'll take a look at the BSD3 license - there should be no
problem using this code with GHC, as I prefer code to be used instead of
being encumbered with licenses. If it turns out that Artistic and BSD3
are incompatible, I'll need to talk to the other committers, but I still
expect to be able to give you the code.
Thanks for the quick feedback and hint of System.Win32,
-max
