1 .. _buildinfo-field-reference:
9 Field syntax is described as they are in the latest cabal file format version.
11 * terminals are enclosed in quotes and type set in typewriter script:
15 \mathord{"}\mathtt{example}\mathord{"}
17 * non-terminals are type set in italic:
21 \mathit{version\text-range}
23 * character sets are type set resembling regular expression notation:
28 [ \mathord{"}\mathtt{1}\mathord{"} \cdots \mathord{"}\mathtt{9}\mathord{"} ]
30 Character set complements have :math:`c` superscript:
34 [ \mathord{"}\mathtt{1}\mathord{"} \cdots \mathord{"}\mathtt{9}\mathord{"} ]^c
36 * repetition is type set using regular expression inspired notation.
37 Superscripts tell how many time to repeat:
38 The generic notation is :math:`\in[n\ldots5]`, however there
39 are common shorthands:
40 :math:`\ast` for :math:`\in[0\ldots\infty]` (``many``),
41 :math:`+` for :math:`\in[1\ldots\infty]` (``some``),
42 :math:`?` for :math:`\in[0\ldots1]` (``optional``).
44 Subscripts tell the used separator:
48 \mathit{digit}^+_{\mathord{"}\mathtt{.}\mathord{"}}
50 Would be ``digit(\.digit)*`` in common regex syntax.
52 * alternatives are listed in braces separated by vertical bar:
56 \{ \mathit{foo} \mid \mathit{bar} \}
58 In case of multiple alternatives, the stacked notation is used
62 \left\{\begin{gathered}
68 \end{gathered}\right\}
70 * parenthesis are used only for grouping:
74 \left(\mathit{foo} \mid \mathit{bar}\right)^+
76 * any amount of spaces, and at least single space are type set using
77 :math:`\circ` and :math:`\bullet` respectively.
78 They may appear standalone, not only as binary operators.
82 \mathit{module} \bullet \mathord{``}\mathtt{as}\mathord{"} \bullet \mathit{module}
84 * While notation is heavily regular expression inspired, there
85 are also fixed points, which allow represent recursive grammars
90 \mathbf{fix}\; \mathit{expr}\; \mathbf{in}\; \mathit{digit}
91 \mid \mathit{expr} \circ \mathord{``}\mathtt{+}\mathord{"} \circ \mathit{expr}
92 \mid \mathord{``}\mathtt{(} \mathord{"} \circ \mathit{expr} \circ \mathord{``}\mathtt{)}\mathord{"}
97 Many fields in cabal file format are lists. There are three variations:
100 Are used for lists of things with simple grammars, for example :pkg-field:`ghc-options`
103 {\mathop{\mathit{element}}}^\ast_{\bullet}
106 Are used for lists of things with complicated grammars, for example :pkg-field:`build-depends`
107 There can be leading or trailing comma (but not both) since ``cabal-version: 2.2``.
108 Note, the comma cannot exist alone.
111 \mathrm{commalist}(\mathit{element}) =
112 \left\{ {\mathop{\mathit{element}}}^\ast_{\left(\circ\mathop{\mathord{``}\mathtt{\text{,}}\mathord{"}}\circ\right)}\mid\mathop{\mathord{``}\mathtt{\text{,}}\mathord{"}}\circ{\mathop{\mathit{element}}}^+_{\left(\circ\mathop{\mathord{``}\mathtt{\text{,}}\mathord{"}}\circ\right)}\mid{\mathop{\mathit{element}}}^+_{\left(\circ\mathop{\mathord{``}\mathtt{\text{,}}\mathord{"}}\circ\right)}\circ\mathop{\mathord{``}\mathtt{\text{,}}\mathord{"}} \right\}
114 Optional comma separated
115 Surprisingly many fields can have optional comma separator.
116 Since ``cabal-version: 3.0`` comma usage have to be consistent,
117 in other words either used everywhere or nowhere.
118 It's recommended to avoid using comma in these fields,
119 an example field is :pkg-field:`default-extensions`.
122 \mathrm{optcommalist}(\mathit{element}) =
123 \left\{ \begin{gathered}{\mathop{\mathit{element}}}^\ast_{\bullet}\\{\mathop{\mathit{element}}}^\ast_{\left(\circ\mathop{\mathord{``}\mathtt{\text{,}}\mathord{"}}\circ\right)}\\\mathop{\mathord{``}\mathtt{\text{,}}\mathord{"}}\circ{\mathop{\mathit{element}}}^+_{\left(\circ\mathop{\mathord{``}\mathtt{\text{,}}\mathord{"}}\circ\right)}\\{\mathop{\mathit{element}}}^+_{\left(\circ\mathop{\mathord{``}\mathtt{\text{,}}\mathord{"}}\circ\right)}\circ\mathop{\mathord{``}\mathtt{\text{,}}\mathord{"}}\end{gathered} \right\}
128 In the syntax definitions below the following non-terminal symbols are used:
131 String as in Haskell; it's recommended to avoid using Haskell-specific escapes.

137 Unqualified component names are used for package names, component names etc. but not flag names. Unqualified component name consist of components separated by dash, each component is non-empty alphanumeric string, with at least one alphabetic character. In other words, component may not look like a number.

149 Version is to first approximation numbers separated by dots, where leading zero is not allowed and each version digit is consists at most of nine characters.
152 {\left\{ \mathop{\mathord{``}\mathtt{0}\mathord{"}}\mid[\mathop{\mathord{``}\mathtt{1}\mathord{"}}\cdots\mathop{\mathord{``}\mathtt{9}\mathord{"}}]{[\mathop{\mathord{``}\mathtt{0}\mathord{"}}\cdots\mathop{\mathord{``}\mathtt{9}\mathord{"}}]}^{\in [0\ldots8]}_{} \right\}}^+_{\mathop{\mathord{``}\mathtt{\text{.}}\mathord{"}}}
