Hi Haskell Cafe,
I wrote very short program to sleep for 5 seconds compiled with the
-threaded option in ghc on the Mac OS X 1.5.
I am finding that using the sleep function doesn't sleep at all, whereas
using threadDelay does:
main = do
putStrLn "Waiting for 5 seconds."
threadDelay 5000000 -- works
putStrLn "Done."
main = do
putStrLn "Waiting for 5 seconds."
sleep 5 -- doesn't sleep at all
putStrLn "Done."
Anybody know what's happening?
Thanks
-John
