bug during documentation generation?

2003-12-18 Thread Andres Loeh
Shouldn't the attached patch be applied to the file package.mk in the GHC 6.2 build system? Explanation: I think that for the generation of the documentation the new ghc should be used, not the old one. I got the following error while compiling GHC 6.2 with OpenGL support, using the binary

hGetBuf (or something related) broken for 6.2 with sockets

2003-12-18 Thread George Russell
I have just installed ghc6.2 on Linux. (I had to compile it from source because the binaries insist on a glibc version we don't have.) The attached module contains two functions (serverMain) and (clientMain). clientMain opens a connection (to localhost) and sends some data along it, then executes

Simon M has persuaded me that -D/-U are really cpp-specific flags. What's to stop you using the environment variables directly? Suppose you had getEnvVar :: String - Q (Maybe String) which is pretty much what System.getEnv does. Would that do the job? Then you could say

I hope this question isn't too stupid, but I can't find any obvious way to do this from reading the ghc docs. What I want to do is call a final foreign function (a library shutdown routine) when Haskell terminates, but after all ForeignPtr finalisers have been run. I suppose I could

Good evening, OK. I don't know Haskell enough to argue. But I can't resist pointing out that reading a single byte having the value 233 (that is 'é') is certainly simpler than reading the four characters \233, parse it, and translate it into a single byte having the value 233 representing no

I would support the point of view that show should output escapes when showing characters outside ASCII. This is sort of a transport format (together with read), therefore it must be a GCD for all possible input encodings. UTF-8 might be alternative, but it would require to be equally
