# Flags dependent on the compiler build

ghciSupported :: Bool

debugIsOn :: Bool

ghciTablesNextToCode :: Bool

isDynamicGhcLib :: Bool

isWindowsHost :: Bool

isWindowsTarget :: Bool

isDarwinTarget :: Bool

# General list processing

zipEqual :: String -> [a] -> [b] -> [(a, b)]

zipWithEqual :: String -> (a -> b -> c) -> [a] -> [b] -> [c]

zipWith3Equal :: String -> (a -> b -> c -> d) -> [a] -> [b] -> [c] -> [d]

zipWith4Equal :: String -> (a -> b -> c -> d -> e) -> [a] -> [b] -> [c] -> [d] -> [e]

zipLazy :: [a] -> [b] -> [(a, b)]

`zipLazy` is a kind of `zip` that is lazy in the second list (observe the ~)

stretchZipWith :: (a -> Bool) -> b -> (a -> b -> c) -> [a] -> [b] -> [c]

`stretchZipWith p z f xs ys` stretches `ys` by inserting `z` in the places where `p` returns `True`

unzipWith :: (a -> b -> c) -> [(a, b)] -> [c]

mapFst :: (a -> c) -> [(a, b)] -> [(c, b)]

mapSnd :: (b -> c) -> [(a, b)] -> [(a, c)]

mapAndUnzip :: (a -> (b, c)) -> [a] -> ([b], [c])

mapAndUnzip3 :: (a -> (b, c, d)) -> [a] -> ([b], [c], [d])

nOfThem :: Int -> a -> [a]

filterOut :: (a -> Bool) -> [a] -> [a]

Like filter, only it reverses the sense of the test

partitionWith :: (a -> Either b c) -> [a] -> ([b], [c])

Uses a function to determine which of two output lists an input element should join

splitEithers :: [Either a b] -> ([a], [b])

Teases a list of `Either`s apart into two lists

foldl1' :: (a -> a -> a) -> [a] -> aSource

A strict version of `foldl1`

foldl2 :: (acc -> a -> b -> acc) -> acc -> [a] -> [b] -> acc

count :: (a -> Bool) -> [a] -> Int

all2 :: (a -> b -> Bool) -> [a] -> [b] -> Bool

lengthExceeds :: [a] -> Int -> Bool

     (lengthExceeds xs n) = (length xs > n)

lengthIs :: [a] -> Int -> Bool

lengthAtLeast :: [a] -> Int -> Bool

listLengthCmp :: [a] -> Int -> Ordering

atLength :: ([a] -> b) -> (Int -> b) -> [a] -> Int -> b

`atLength atLen atEnd ls n` unravels list `ls` to position `n`. Precisely:

      atLength atLenPred atEndPred ls n
       | n < 0         = atLenPred n
       | length ls < n = atEndPred (n - length ls)
       | otherwise     = atLenPred (drop n ls)

escapeSpaces :: String -> String

parseSearchPath :: String -> [FilePath]

The function splits the given string to substrings using the `searchPathSeparator`.
