Hi,
I have compiled the ghc 2.05 on our OSF1 alphaserver.
It seems to work, but...
If I run the ghc script on any program it gives:
/bin/ld:
Unresolved:
_PrelBase_Z91Z93_closure
_PrelBase_IZh_static_info
_PrelBase_CZh_static_info
_PrelBase_False_inregs_info
_PrelBase_True_inregs_info
This might be very easy, but I can't figure it:
I need the length of a list and it should be of type Integer, while the
prelude function yields type Int.
Is there a more clever way to get the result of the right type than just
adding a new version of length, namely:
lengthInteger::[a]-Integer

This looks like a bug in the prelude to me. It's not inconceivable
that in some implementation it might be possible to have a list with
length greater
In fact, I would like to hear what all the major implementors have as their
picture of a final version of Haskell. You've all been pretty quiet.
I assume you've all already aired your opinions at the workshop, but it would
be nice to see them here as well.
Reasonable request.
I hope that

This looks like a bug in the prelude to me. It's not inconceivable
that in some implementation it might be possible to have a list with
length greater than the capacity of Int. So

Thank you for pointing me to the System library. However, while I was
indeed implying that there is no way of returning an exit code, my main
question was which type main should have. You seem not to like IO Int
(one even for several reasons ;-) but it still looks quite natural to me.

A cursory examination of the pointers to this list in
URL:http://haskell.org/mailinglist.html fails to reveal who is
maintaining it, so apologies for sending this to the whole list.
Would it be possible for the list re-mailer to set the 'Reply-to:'
field to point to the list? Further apologies

That was indeed the original type of length, but it was changed
for efficiency reasons. If you want the more general type use
the genericLength (et al) from the List module.
My belief is that this is a mistake - it's the wrong way round - the
standard
