[Haskell-cafe] GHC users on PowerPC and *BSD/Darwin?
Hi all, Users of GHC on PowerPC would probably be aware of this bug: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/2972 which causes GHCi to segfault as soon as it was started. Ben M. Collins has come up with a fix for this I am preparing it for submission to the GHC git tree. I have have tested it on linux-powerpc, but would also like to test it on *BSD/Darwin. Anybody out there interested? You will need: * A PowerPC machine running *BSD or Darwin. * A working GHC compiler. If you're interested email me at erikd AT mega-nerd dot com.

[Haskell-cafe] Monad with limited backtracking
Kind Sirs/Madams,
Thanks in advance for your patience; the solution will no doubt be obvious to
those with greater experience than me. I have formulated a monad to provide
limited backtracking for implementing a rewrite system. The success case works
fine, but my intention is that on failure the result should contain the list of
input symbols consumed up to the failure, and it is this part that I would
like some advice about. Code follows:
---
import Control.Monad
import Debug.Trace
newtype Rewrite a b = Rewrite { run :: Input a - Result a b }
data Input a = Input [a]
data Result a b = Fail [a] | Ok b [a]
deriving (Eq, Show)
instance (Show a) = Monad (Rewrite a) where
return y = Rewrite $ \(Input xs) - Ok y xs
p = f = Rewrite $ \inp -
case run p inp of
Fail xs - trace (1.xs= ++ show xs) $
Fail xs
Ok y xs - case run (f y) (Input xs) of
Fail xs' - trace (2.xs= ++ show xs) $
Fail xs
okay - okay
instance (Show a) = MonadPlus (Rewrite a) where
mzero = Rewrite $ \inp - Fail []
p `mplus` q = Rewrite $ \inp - case run p inp of
Fail _ - run q inp
okay - okay
(=?) ::(Show a) = Rewrite a b - (b - Bool) - Rewrite a b
p =? f = p = \y - guard (f y) return y
next :: Rewrite a a
next = Rewrite $ \(Input xs) - case xs of
[] - Fail []
(x:xs') - Ok x xs'
exactly :: (Show a, Eq a) = [a] - Rewrite a [a]
exactly = mapM $ \i - next =? (==i)
---
For example, using ghci:
*Main run (exactly [1,2]) (Input [1,2,3,4])
Ok [1,2] [3,4]
which is what I intend. However, while the thing correctly reports failure, I
cannot get it to return the list of symbols up to the point of failure:
*Main run (exactly [1,2,3]) (Input [1,2,7,4])
1.xs=[]
2.xs=[4]
1.xs=[4]
1.xs=[4]
2.xs=[7,4]
1.xs=[7,4]
2.xs=[2,7,4]
Fail [2,7,4] *I would like Fail [1,2] here instead*
I thank you in advance for any guidance you might offer.

[Haskell-cafe] Solutions for multi-platform compilation?
Hi, I work developing multi-platform applications in Haskell. This poses the following problem: I cannot compile binaries for windows from linux (AFAIK). I solved this problem with the following sledgehammer: I installed windows in a VM, I installed GHC, I installed all the C/C++ headers binaries of the libraries that I use (Gtk, OpenGL, SDL, OpenCV, etc.) their Haskell counterparts, and I created several scripts that connect to the VM using SSH, push the changes to the repo, cabal clean cabal install all my packages in sequence without me having to even login into the windows machine. I did this because I was unable to get GHC to run properly in Wine at that time (over 2 years ago). This solution is still unsatisfactory because: 1) It's slow, even though Windows itself works fine (well, as well as windows can work, but it runs at a decent spped, I can play games and all). 2) When I update a library with lots of dependencies, or GHC itself, I have to rebuild almost everything. This is particularly painful with big packages like Gtk, for instance. Because I have to tell cabal where headers and libraries are located, updating a package is almost never an automatic process. I haven't always been able to make GHC just pick them up properly with pkg-config. 3) When I make a change in a library with lots of dependencies, recompiling all the packages can take several hours. I don't think it's a problem with my machine: I'm giving a fair amount of resources to windows, and I use a 3Ghz quadcore with 8GB of RAM. Another relevant fact is: I use this for commercial purposes. I have customers, each requiring a completely different program, they do not have infinite budgets and, if there's a problem in the compilation process and something requires my attention and manual intervention too often, my salary per hour can easily drop to a ridiculous amount. If I'm going to redo this, I'd rather just redo it once. Any suggestions? How do you solve this kind of problem in your work environment?

[Haskell-cafe] lazy boxed array and builder?
he recent discussion of whether storablevector should be deprecated in favor of vector reminded me: vector supports storable arrays, but it doesn't support lazy arrays. While storablevector has lazy arrays and a builder, it doesn't support boxed types (it would be become misnamed if it did!). So it seems the niche of boxed lazy arrays is unfilled. And if vector grew a lazy variant it could subsume storablevector and we could consolidate array libraries a little more. It seems a lot of Writer monad type stuff (logging etc.) could be made more efficient with a boxed lazy array builder, at the cost of rougher grained laziness. Does such a thing already exist?

Re: [Haskell-cafe] Solutions for multi-platform compilation?
We use Jenkins to build our applications. You can have Jenkins slaves for different platforms. We also use cabal-dev to sandbox the builds, separating the environments for different executables. This solution does require one server for every OS you develop for, but I guess you need that anyway, for testing.

How can I use combinators like repeat, which takes a plain function as an argument, in the arrow notation in a more readable way? Or am I trying to do an impossible thing? Unfortunately the arrow notation doesn't support this. There's no semantic reason why it wouldn't work with arguments of the form f (a (...(e,t1), ... tn) t) for any functor f, or even g (...(e,t1), ... tn) for any contravariant functor g. The limitation is due to Haskell's structural matching of types. Though one possibility that might get us most of the way there would be to refactor the Arrow class as class PreArrow a where premap :: (b - b') - a b' c - a b c class (Category a, PreArrow a) = Arrow a where arr :: (b - c) - a b c arr f = premap f id first :: a b c - a (b,d) (c,d) instance PreArrow (-) where premap f g = g . f instance PreArrow (Kleisli m) where premap f (Kleisli g) = Kleisli (g . f) instance (PreArrow a, Functor f) = PreArrow (StaticArrow f a) where premap f (StaticArrow g) = StaticArrow (fmap (premap f) g) The PreArrow class would be sufficient for the low-level translation (i.e. excluding if, case and do).

Yes, I would like to add a lazy storable vector to
vector-bytestring[1] to make the API 100% consistent with bytestring.
Ideally we would have a type like:
data Lazy vector a = Empty | Chuck {-# UNPACK #-} !(vector a) (Lazy vector a)
Unfortunately GHC can't unpack polymorphic fields. The next best thing
is to use a type family which for each type of vector would return its
lazy version (where the vector is unpacked in the cons cell). Then we
would need a class for common operations on those lazy vectors.

[Haskell-cafe] Monads with The contexts?
tl;dr: Is there any way to pass the Supercombinator level names (the names in haskell source codes with zero indent) as context to a Monad so that it will read from The context? Hello, everyone. I'm thinking of representing our knowledge about our life, the universe and everything as Haskell values. I'd also like to address the uncertainties in our knowledge. The uncertainties are usually continuous (probabilistic distributions) but that's another story. Please forget about it for a while. We learned that List is for nondeterministic context. earthMass, sunMass, marsMass :: [Double] Let's pretend that there are large uncertainty in our knowledge of the Earth mass. earthMass = [5.96e24, 5.97e24, 5.98e24] Let's also pretend that we can measure the other bodys' masses only by their ratio to the earth mass, and the measurements have large uncertainties. sunMass = (*) $ [2.5e5, 3e5, 4e5] * earthMass marsMass = (*) $ [0.01, 0.1, 1.0] * earthMass Then, how many Mars mass object can we create by taking the sun apart? sunPerMars :: [Double] sunPerMars = (/) $ sunMass * marsMass Sadly, this gives too many answers, and some of them are wrong because they assume different Earth mass in calculating Sun and Mars masses, which led to inconsistent calculation. *Main length $ sunPerMars 81 We had to do this way; sunMass' e = map (e*) [2.5e5, 3e5, 4e5] marsMass' e = map (e*) [0.01, 0.1, 1.0] sunPerMars' :: [Double] sunPerMars' = do e - earthMass (/) $ sunMass' e * marsMass' e to have correct candidates (with duplicates.) *Main length $ sunPerMars' 27 The use of (e - earthMass) seems inevitable for representing that the two Earth masses are taken from the same source of nondeterminism. However, as the chain of the reasoning grows, we can easily imagine the function arguments will grow impractically large. To get the Higgs mass, we will need to feed them all the history of research that led to the measurement of it. There is the source of nondeterminism for Earth mass we will always use. Is there a way to represent this? For example, can we define earthMass'' , sunMass'' , marsMass'' all in separate modules, and yet have (length $ sunPerMars'' == 27) ? By the way, *Main length $ nub $ sort sunPerMars' 16 is not 9. That's another story, I said!

I've come up with a minimal example that demonstrates this problem. The
crux of the matter is the following C code:
#include sys/types.h
#include sys/stat.h
#include unistd.h
#include stdio.h
typedef int stat_func(const char*, struct stat*);
stat_func *foo = stat;
void stat_test(void)
{
struct stat buf;
printf(About to stat-test.c\n);
foo(stat-test.c, buf);
printf(Done\n);
}
As you can see, all of the include statements are present as necessary. The
code compiles just fine with -Wall -Werror. And when you compile the
Haskell code as well, everything works just fine. But if you follow these
steps, you can reproduce the error I saw:
* Unpack the attached tarball
* `cabal install` in that folder
* `runghc main.hs` from the `exe` folder
On my system at least, I get:
main.hs:
/home/ubuntu/.cabal/lib/stat-test-0.1.0.0/ghc-7.4.1/HSstat-test-0.1.0.0.o:
unknown symbol `stat'
main.hs: main.hs: unable to load package `stat-test-0.1.0.0'
One thing I noticed is that I needed to use a function pointer to trigger
the bug. When I called `stat` directly the in stat_test function, gcc
automatically inlined the call, so that the disassessmbled code just showed
a `moveq` (i.e., it's making the system call directly). But using a
function pointer, we're avoiding the inlining. I believe this is why this
issue only came up with the sqlite3 upgrade: previous versions did not use
a function pointer, but rather hard-coded in how to make a stat call.
Does this expose any other possibilities?

Thanks for the feedback. However, looking at sqlite3.c, I see the

I'm confident that none of my code is making calls to stat/stat64 via
the FFI. In case it makes a difference, this problem also disappears
if I compile the library against the system copy of sqlite3 instead of
using the C source.
You may need some extra defines, see the comments in man stat64.

I've come up with a minimal example that demonstrates this problem. The
crux of the matter is the following C code:
#include sys/types.h
#include sys/stat.h
#include unistd.h
#include stdio.h
typedef int stat_func(const char*, struct stat*);
stat_func *foo = stat;
void stat_test(void)
{
struct stat buf;
printf(About to stat-test.c\n);
foo(stat-test.c, buf);
printf(Done\n);
}
As you can see, all of the include statements are present as necessary.
The code compiles just fine with -Wall -Werror. And when you compile the
Haskell code as well, everything works just fine. But if you follow these
steps, you can reproduce the error I saw:
* Unpack the attached tarball
* `cabal install` in that folder
* `runghc main.hs` from the `exe` folder
On my system at least, I get:
main.hs:
/home/ubuntu/.cabal/lib/stat-test-0.1.0.0/ghc-7.4.1/HSstat-test-0.1.0.0.o:
unknown symbol `stat'
main.hs: main.hs: unable to load package `stat-test-0.1.0.0'
One thing I noticed is that I needed to use a function pointer to trigger
the bug. When I called `stat` directly the in stat_test function, gcc
automatically inlined the call, so that the disassessmbled code just showed
a `moveq` (i.e., it's making the system call directly). But using a
function pointer, we're avoiding the inlining. I believe this is why this
issue only came up with the sqlite3 upgrade: previous versions did not use
a function pointer, but rather hard-coded in how to make a stat call.
Does this expose any other possibilities?
Michael
Actually, I just came up with a workaround: declare some local wrappers to
the stat and fstat functions, and use those in place of stat and fstat in
the rest of the code. You can see the change here[1].
Obviously this is a hack, not a real fix. At this point it looks like a GHC
bug to me. Does anything think otherwise? If not, I'll open a ticket.

Are you trying this on a 32 bit system? And when you compiled that C
program, did you try to add
-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE
to the compile command? When I define those the resulting object file
from your example correctly references stat64 instead of stat.

I'm compiling on a 64 bit system. If I add those definitions, the program
uses stat64 instead, but the only difference is that runghc now prints:
main.hs:
/home/ubuntu/.cabal/lib/stat-test-0.1.0.0/ghc-7.4.1/HSstat-test-0.1.0.0.o:
unknown symbol `stat64'
main.hs: main.hs: unable to load package `stat-test-0.1.0.0'
In other words, it's not the symbol that the object file is referencing
(stat vs stat64) that's the problem: runghc is not able to resolve either
one.

Michael I was looking at the symbols in libc and noticed that it doesn't actually export stat64/stat, so that would explain something at least. I think your idea about the switch to function pointers versus direct calls is probably right - the linker probably does some rewriting of calls to stat into __fxstat and company, but for some reason doesn't handle references to function pointers. I also ran across this stackoverflow post that mentions something similar: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5478780/c-and-ld-preload-open-and-open64-calls-intercepted-but-not-stat64 So stat64 is actually special and in this libc_nonshared.a library (it is on my system at least). It would be ugly to have to link that manually - not sure what the right answer is, but at least this might explain it. pgpFjqMeqMQZk.pgp Description: PGP signature ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
