Dear all, I am writing a long string (several MByte) to a file, with writeFile fname ( render d ) where d :: Text.PrettyPrint.HughesPJ.Doc
I wonder what happens internally (when compiled with ghc -O, if that matters) Will the string be in memory completely before it is actually written? My d is in fact vcat xs, for a list xs that is generated item by item. Is there a way to get more efficient behaviour without too much rewriting the program? -- -- Johannes Waldmann -- Tel/Fax (0341) 3076 6479/80 -- ---- http://www.imn.htwk-leipzig.de/~waldmann/ ------- _______________________________________________ Haskell mailing list Haskell@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell
