By contrast,+our General Public Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to+share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free+software for all its users.++ When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not+price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you+have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for+them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you+want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new+free programs, and that you know you can do these things.++ Developers that use our General Public Licenses protect your rights+with two steps: (1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer+you this License which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute+and/or modify the software.++ A secondary benefit of defending all users' freedom is that+improvements made in alternate versions of the program, if they+receive widespread use, become available for other developers to+incorporate. Many developers of free software are heartened and+encouraged by the resulting cooperation. However, in the case of+software used on network servers, this result may fail to come about.+The GNU General Public License permits making a modified version and+letting the public access it on a server without ever releasing its+source code to the public.++ The GNU Affero General Public License is designed specifically to+ensure that, in such cases, the modified source code becomes available+to the community. It requires the operator of a network server to+provide the source code of the modified version running there to the+users of that server. Therefore, public use of a modified version, on+a publicly accessible server, gives the public access to the source+code of the modified version.++ An older license, called the Affero General Public License and+published by Affero, was designed to accomplish similar goals. This is+a different license, not a version of the Affero GPL, but Affero has+released a new version of the Affero GPL which permits relicensing under+this license.++ The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and+modification follow.++ TERMS AND CONDITIONS++ 0. Definitions.++ "This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License.++ "Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of+works, such as semiconductor masks.++ "The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this+License. Each licensee is addressed as "you". "Licensees" and+"recipients" may be individuals or organizations.++ To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work+in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an+exact copy. The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the+earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work.++ A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based+on the Program.++ To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without+permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for+infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a+computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying,+distribution (with or without modification), making available to the+public, and in some countries other activities as well.++ To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other+parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through+a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.++ An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices"+to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible+feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2)+tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the+extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the+work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License. If+the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a+menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.++ 1. Source Code.++ The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work+for making modifications to it. "Object code" means any non-source+form of a work.++ A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official+standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of+interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that+is widely used among developers working in that language.++ The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other+than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of+packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major+Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that+Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an+implementation is available to the public in source code form. A+"Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component+(kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system+(if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to+produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.++ The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all+the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable+work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to+control those activities. However, it does not include the work's+System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free+programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but+which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source+includes interface definition files associated with source files for+the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically+linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require,+such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those+subprograms and other parts of the work.++ The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users+can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding+Source.++ The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that+same work.++ 2. Basic Permissions.++ All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of+copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated+conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited+permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a+covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its+content, constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges your+rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.++ You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not+convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains+in force. You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose+of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you+with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with+the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do+not control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered works+for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction+and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of+your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.++ Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under+the conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10+makes it unnecessary.++ 3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.++ No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological+measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article+11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or+similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such+measures.++ When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid+circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention+is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to+the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or+modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's+users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of+technological measures.++ 4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.++ You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you+receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and+appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice;+keep intact all notices stating that this License and any+non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code;+keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all+recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.++ You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey,+and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.++ 5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.++ You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to+produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the+terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:++ a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified+ it, and giving a relevant date.++ b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is+ released under this License and any conditions added under section+ 7. This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to+ "keep intact all notices".++ c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this+ License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This+ License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7+ additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts,+ regardless of how they are packaged. This License gives no+ permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not+ invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.++ d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display+ Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive+ interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your+ work need not make them do so.++ A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent+works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work,+and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program,+in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an+"aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not+used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users+beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work+in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other+parts of the aggregate.++ 6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.++ You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms+of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the+machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License,+in one of these ways:++ a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product+ (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the+ Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium+ customarily used for software interchange.++ b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product+ (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a+ written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as+ long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product+ model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a+ copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the+ product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical+ medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no+ more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this+ conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the+ Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.++ c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the+ written offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This+ alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and+ only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord+ with subsection 6b.++ d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated+ place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the+ Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no+ further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the+ Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to+ copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source+ may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party)+ that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain+ clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the+ Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts the+ Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is+ available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.++ e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided+ you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding+ Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no+ charge under subsection 6d.++ A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded+from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be+included in conveying the object code work.++ A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any+tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family,+or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation+into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a consumer product,+doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage. For a particular+product received by a particular user, "normally used" refers to a+typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status+of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user+actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product. A product+is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial+commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent+the only significant mode of use of the product.++ "Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods,+procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install+and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from+a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The information must+suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object+code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because+modification has been made.++ If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or+specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as+part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the+User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a+fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the+Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied+by the Installation Information. But this requirement does not apply+if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install+modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has+been installed in ROM).++ The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a+requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates+for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for+the User Product in which it has been modified or installed. Access to a+network may be denied when the modification itself materially and+adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and+protocols for communication across the network.++ Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided,+in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly+documented (and with an implementation available to the public in+source code form), and must require no special password or key for+unpacking, reading or copying.++ 7. Additional Terms.++ "Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this+License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions.+Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall+be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent+that they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions+apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately+under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by+this License without regard to the additional permissions.++ When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option+remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of+it. (Additional permissions may be written to require their own+removal in certain cases when you modify the work.) You may place+additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work,+for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.++ Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you+add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of+that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:++ a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the+ terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or++ b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or+ author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal+ Notices displayed by works containing it; or++ c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or+ requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in+ reasonable ways as different from the original version; or++ d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or+ authors of the material; or++ e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some+ trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or++ f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that+ material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of+ it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for+ any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on+ those licensors and authors.++ All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further+restrictions" within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you+received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is+governed by this License along with a term that is a further+restriction, you may remove that term. If a license document contains+a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this+License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms+of that license document, provided that the further restriction does+not survive such relicensing or conveying.++ If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you+must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the+additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating+where to find the applicable terms.++ Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the+form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions;+the above requirements apply either way.++ 8. Termination.++ You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly+provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or+modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under+this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third+paragraph of section 11).++ However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your+license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a)+provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and+finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright+holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means+prior to 60 days after the cessation.++ Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is+reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the+violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have+received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that+copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after+your receipt of the notice.++ Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the+licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under+this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently+reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same+material under section 10.++ 9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.++ You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or+run a copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work+occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission+to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance. However,+nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or+modify any covered work. These actions infringe copyright if you do+not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating a+covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.++ 10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.++ Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically+receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and+propagate that work, subject to this License. You are not responsible+for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.++ An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an+organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an+organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered+work results from an entity transaction, each party to that+transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever+licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could+give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the+Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if+the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.++ You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the+rights granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may+not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of+rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation+(including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that+any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for+sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.++ 11. Patents.++ A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this+License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The+work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version".++ A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims+owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or+hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted+by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version,+but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a+consequence of further modification of the contributor version. For+purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant+patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of+this License.++ Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free+patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to+make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and+propagate the contents of its contributor version.++ In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express+agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent+(such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to+sue for patent infringement). To "grant" such a patent license to a+party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a+patent against the party.++ If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license,+and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone+to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a+publicly available network server or other readily accessible means,+then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so+available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the+patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner+consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent+license to downstream recipients. "Knowingly relying" means you have+actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the+covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work+in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that+country that you have reason to believe are valid.++ If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or+arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a+covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties+receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify+or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license+you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered+work and works based on it.++ A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within+the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is+conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are+specifically granted under this License. You may not convey a covered+work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is+in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment+to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying+the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the+parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory+patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work+conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily+for and in connection with specific products or compilations that+contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement,+or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.++ Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting+any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may+otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.++ 12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.++ If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or+otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not+excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot convey a+covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this+License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may+not convey it at all. For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you+to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey+the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this+License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.++ 13. Remote Network Interaction; Use with the GNU General Public License.++ Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, if you modify the+Program, your modified version must prominently offer all users+interacting with it remotely through a computer network (if your version+supports such interaction) an opportunity to receive the Corresponding+Source of your version by providing access to the Corresponding Source+from a network server at no charge, through some standard or customary+means of facilitating copying of software. This Corresponding Source+shall include the Corresponding Source for any work covered by version 3+of the GNU General Public License that is incorporated pursuant to the+following paragraph.++ Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have+permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed+under version 3 of the GNU General Public License into a single+combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms of this+License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work,+but the work with which it is combined will remain governed by version+3 of the GNU General Public License.++ 14. Revised Versions of this License.++ The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of+the GNU Affero General Public License from time to time. Such new versions+will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to+address new problems or concerns.++ Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the+Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU Affero General+Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the+option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered+version or of any later version published by the Free Software+Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of the+GNU Affero General Public License, you may choose any version ever published+by the Free Software Foundation.++ If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future+versions of the GNU Affero General Public License can be used, that proxy's+public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you+to choose that version for the Program.++ Later license versions may give you additional or different+permissions. However, no additional obligations are imposed on any+author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a+later version.++ 15. Disclaimer of Warranty.++ THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY+APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT+HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY+OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,+THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR+PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM+IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF+ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.++ 16. Limitation of Liability.++ IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING+WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS+THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY+GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE+USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF+DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD+PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS),+EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF+SUCH DAMAGES.++ 17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.++ If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided+above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms,+reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates+an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the+Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a+copy of the Program in return for a fee.++ END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS++ How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs++ If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest+possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it+free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.++ To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest+to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively+state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least+the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.++ <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>+ Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>++ This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify+ it under the terms of the GNU Affero General Public License as published by+ the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or+ (at your option) any later version.++ This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,+ but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of+ MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the+ GNU Affero General Public License for more details.++ You should have received a copy of the GNU Affero General Public License+ along with this program. If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.++Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.++ If your software can interact with users remotely through a computer+network, you should also make sure that it provides a way for users to+get its source. For example, if your program is a web application, its+interface could display a "Source" link that leads users to an archive+of the code. There are many ways you could offer source, and different+solutions will be better for different programs; see section 13 for the+specific requirements.++ You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school,+if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary.+For more information on this, and how to apply and follow the GNU AGPL, see+<http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.

It lets developers specify C++ interfaces in pure Haskell, and+generates code to expose that functionality to Haskell. Hoppy is made up of a+few different packages that provide interface definition data structures and+code generators, some runtime support for Haskell bindings, and interface+definitions for the C++ standard library.++Bindings using Hoppy have three parts:++- A Haskell generator program (in @\/generator@) that knows the interface+definition and generates code for the next two parts.++- A C++ library (in @\/cpp@) that gets compiled into a shared object containing+the C++ half of the bindings.++- A Haskell library (in @\/hs@) that links against the C++ library and exposes+the bindings.++The path names are suggested subdirectories of a project, and are used in this+document, but are not required. Only the latter two items need to be packaged+and distributed to users of the binding (plus Hoppy itself which is a dependency+of the generated bindings).++-}+{- $getting-started++This section is for getting out of the gate running.++-}+{- $getting-started-project-setup++To bind to a C++ library, first the binding author writes a generator program+(@\/generator@) in Haskell. This program should define the complete C+++interface that is to be exposed. The binding author also writes a @Main.hs@+file for invoking the generator (usually deferring to+"Foreign.Hoppy.Generator.Main"). If necessary, she should also write wrappers+for C++ things that she doesn't want to expose directly (in @\/cpp@).++Then, her build process should perform the following steps:++1. Compile the generator (@\/generator@).++2. Run the generator to create the C++ and Haskell sides of the bindings in+@\/cpp@ and @\/hs\/src@ respectively. See the documentation for 'run' for how+to invoke a generator.++3. Compile the C++ side of the bindings into a shared object. Make sure to+compile with the version of the C++ standard that matches what the generator was+run with (see 'activeCppVersion').++4. Compile the Haskell side of the bindings, linking with the C++ library.++For this last step, the @.cabal@ file in @\/hs@ should have++> extra-libraries: foo++to link against a shared object @libfoo.so@. If this library is not on the+system's library search path, then she will need to specify+@--extra-lib-dirs=...\/cpp@ to the @cabal configure@ for @\/hs@.++The unit tests provide some simple examples of this setup.++-}+{- $getting-started-concepts++A complete C++ API is specified using Haskell data structures in+"Foreign.Hoppy.Generator.Spec". At the top level is the 'Interface' type. An+interface contains 'Module's which correspond to a portion of functionality of+the interface (collections of classes, functions, files, etc.). Functionality+can be grouped arbitrarily into modules and doesn't have to follow the structure+of existing C++ files. Modules contain 'Export's which refer to concrete things+that provide bindings. Binding definitions take advantage of Haskell's+laziness, and can be highly circular, a simple case being a class that includes+a method that makes use of the class in its parameter or return types.++Each export has an /external name/ that uniquely identifies it within an+interface. This name can be different from the name of the C++ entity the+export is referring to. An external name is munged by the code generators and+must be a valid identifier in all languages a set of bindings will use, so it is+restricted to characters in the range @[a-zA-Z0-9_]@, and must start with an+alphabetic character. Character case in external names will be preserved as+much as possible in generated code, although case conversions are sometimes+necessary (e.g. Haskell requiring identifiers to begin with upper or lower case+characters).++C++ bindings for exportable things usually need @#include@s in order to access+those things. This is done with 'Include' and 'Reqs'. All exportable things+have an instance of 'HasReqs' and 'addReqIncludes' can be used to add includes.++C++ identifiers are represented by the 'Identifier' data type and support basic+template syntax (no metaprogramming).++All C++ types are represented with the 'Type' data type, values of which are in+the "Foreign.Hoppy.Generator.Types" module. This includes primitive numeric+types, object types, function types, @void@, the const qualifier, etc. When+passing values back and forth between C++ and Haskell, generally, primitive+types are converted to equivalent types on both ends, and pointer types in C+++are represented by corresponding pointer types in Haskell.++Raw object types (not pointers or references, just the by-value object types,+i.e. 'objT') are treated differently. When an object is taken or returned by+value, this typically indicates a lightweight object that is easy to copy, so+Hoppy will attempt to convert the C++ object to a native Haskell object, if a+Haskell type is defined for the class. Other options are available, such as+having objects be handed off to a foreign garbage collector. See+'ClassConversion' for more on object conversions.++-}+{- $generators++This section describes the behaviour of the code generators. The code+generators live at @Foreign.Hoppy.Generator.Language.\<language>@. The+top-level module for a language is internal to Hoppy and contains the bulk of+the generator. @General@ submodules expose functionality that can control+generator behaviour.++-}+{- $generators-cpp++The C++ code generator generates C++ bindings that other languages' bindings+will link against. This generator lives in+"Foreign.Hoppy.Generator.Language.Cpp", with internal parts in+"Foreign.Hoppy.Generator.Language.Cpp.Internal".++-}+{- $generators-cpp-module-structure++Generated modules consist of a source and a header file. The source file+contains all of the bindings for foreign languages to make use of. The header+file contains things that may be depended on from other generated modules.+Currently this consists only of generated callback classes.++Cycles between generated C++ modules are not supported. This can currently only+happen because of @#include@ cycles involving callbacks, since callbacks are the+only 'Export's that can be referenced by other generated C++ code.++-}+{- $generators-cpp-object-passing++@+'ptrT' :: 'Type' -> 'Type'+'refT' :: 'Type' -> 'Type'+'objT' :: 'Class' -> 'Type'+'constT' :: 'Type' -> 'Type'+@++We consider all of the following cases as passing an object, both into and out+of C++, and independently, as an argument and as a return value:++1. @'objT' _@+2. @'refT' ('constT' ('objT' _))@+3. @'refT' ('objT' _)@+4. @'ptrT' ('constT' ('objT' _))@+5. @'ptrT' ('objT' _)@++The first is equivalent to @'constT' ('objT' _)@. When passing an argument from+a foreign language to C++, the first two are equivalent, and it's recommended to+use the first, shorter form (@T@ and @const T&@ are functionally equivalent in+C++, and are the same as far as what values foreign bindings will accept).++When passing any of the above types as an argument in either direction, an+object is passed between C++ and a foreign language via a pointer. Cases 1, 2,+and 4 are passed as const pointers. For a foreign language passing a @'objT' _@+to C++, this means converting a foreign value to a temporary C++ object.+Passing a @'objT' _@ argument into or out of C++, the caller always owns the+object.++When returning an object, again, pointers are always what is passed across the+language boundary in either direction. Returning a @'objT' _@ transfers+ownership: a C++ function returning a @'objT' _@ will copy the object to the+heap, and return a pointer to the object which the caller owns; a callback+returning a @'objT' _@ will internally create a C++ object from a foreign value,+and hand that object off to the C++ side (which will return it and free the+temporary).++Object lifetimes can be managed by a foreign language's garbage collector.+'toGcT' is a special type that is only allowed in certain forms, and only when+passing a value from C++ to a foreign language (i.e. returning from a C+++function, or C++ invoking a foreign callback), to put the object under the+collector's management. Only object types are allowed:++1. @'toGcT' ('objT' cls)@+2. @'toGcT' ('refT' ('constT' ('objT' cls)))@+3. @'toGcT' ('refT' ('objT' cls))@+4. @'toGcT' ('ptrT' ('constT' ('objT' cls)))@+5. @'toGcT' ('ptrT' ('objT' cls))@++Cases 2-5 are straightforward: the existing object is given to the collector.+Case 1 without the 'toGcT' would cause the object to be converted, but instead+here the (temporary) object gets copied to the heap, and a managed pointer to+the heap object is returned. Case 1 is useful when you want to pass a handle+that has a non-trivial C++ representation (so you don't define a conversion for+it), but it's still a temporary that you don't want users to have to delete+manually.++Objects are always managed manually unless given to a garbage collector. In+particular, constructors always return unmanaged pointers. When a managed+pointer is passed into C++, that it is managed is lost in the FFI conversion,+and if this pointer is then passed back into the foreign language, it will+arrive in an unmanaged state (although the object is still managed, and it+should not be assigned to the collector a second time).++-}+{- $generators-cpp-callbacks++> data Callback = Callback ExtName [Type] Type ... -- Parameter and return types.+>+> callbackT :: Callback -> Type++We want to call some foreign code from C++.

The+binding will then create a G object (above) for this wrapped function (Haskell:+using callbackName'), and pass a G pointer into the C side of the binding. The+binding will decode this C pointer by wrapping it in a temporary F object, and+passing that to the C++ function. The C++ code is free to copy this F object as+much as it likes. If it doesn't store a copy somewhere before returning, then+the when the temporary F object is destructed, the G object will get deleted.++-}+{- $generators-hs++The Haskell code generator lives in "Foreign.Hoppy.Generator.Language.Haskell",+with internal parts in "Foreign.Hoppy.Generator.Language.Haskell.Internal".++Central to generated Haskell bindings is the idea of type sidedness and the+'HsTypeSide' enum. When a value is passed to or from C++, it needs to be+converted so that the receiving language knows what to do with it. The C++ side+of bindings just exchanges C types across the language boundary and does not do+conversions, so it is up to the Haskell side to do so. Internally, the Haskell+generator refers to types exchanged with C++ as /C-side/ types, and types the+bindings exchange with user Haskell code as /Haskell-side/ types. These are+both Haskell types! The terminology is overlapped a bit but generally, /type/+or /C++ type/ refers to a 'Type', and in the context of the Haskell generator,+/C-side/ or /Haskell-side/ apply to a 'HsType', calculated from a 'Type' and a+'HsTypeSide' using 'cppTypeToHsTypeAndUse'. For many primitive C++ types, the+C-side and Haskell-side types are the same.++-}+{- $generators-hs-module-structure++The result of generating a Hoppy module is a single Haskell module that contains+bindings for everything exported from the Hoppy module.

The rationale is that @FooValue@+is used where the callee will not modify the argument, so both a const pointer+to an existing object, and a fresh const pointer to a temporary on the case of+passing a @Foo@, are fine. Because functions taking @Foo&@ and @Foo*@ may+modify their argument, we disallow passing a temporary converted from a Haskell+value implicitly; 'withCppObj' can be used for this.++For values returned from C++, and for arguments and return values in callbacks,+the 'HsCSide' column above is the exposed type; polymorphism as in the+'HsHsSide' column is not provided.++Object pointer types in Haskell hide whether they are managed (garbage+collected) or unmanaged pointers in their runtime representation. The APIs that+bindings expose to Haskell users should generally not require them to be+concerned about object lifetimes, and also having separate data types for+managed pointers would balloon the size of bindings. Unmanaged objects can be+converted to managed objects with 'toGc'; after calling this function, the value+it returns should always be used in place of any existing pointers.++-}
