The following program gives me a stack overflow for a file "big.tex" 150000 bytes long.
-- Cut here -- module Main where
import Foreign.C.String import Foreign.Ptr import qualified GHC.IO
main =
do
(ptr,len) <- GHC.IO.slurpFile "big.tex"
peekCStringLen (castPtr ptr,len)
return ()
-- Cut here --The message is "Stack space overflow: current size 1048576 bytes."
Could peekCStringLen be changed so it does not expect stack space proportionate to the input string? I use this method quite a lot for slurping strings in and out, so as it is the situation is inconvenient.
