Re: [Haskell-cafe] Space leaks

Replying to myself... Interesting. I removed all the bangs other than the obvious loop variables, and all the uses of seq that I had inserted, and there's still no leak. Does anyone know why the leak would disappear when GHC is using IO other than a generic (unspecified) monad? Is there so

Thanks for the responses. This is basically what I've got looks like (grossly simplified): data Monad m => Foo m a b = Foo { action :: m (Foo m a b, b) , update :: a -> Foo m a b } The driver loop injects new values with update, and executes action whenever it's ready to,

Peter, from 500 feet, we can't see much, but your strictness might actually be your problem depending on what "largish" looks like and whether you're reading your data from disc. It's entirely possible that your data structure updates or disc reads are head-strict and you're evaluating or loading

If scaleFloat and exponent are implemented with bit twiddling they can be quite fast. I have a feeling that they involve slow FFI calls in GHC (being the original author of a lot of the code involved). On Thu, Jul 17, 2008 at 8:21 PM, stefan kersten <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On 17.07.2008, at 1

If the struct is passed by reference of course then you're fine, but if it's by value then you need a C wrapper. The reason is because it's beyond the scope of the FFI to know the structure layout and how to map that to haskell types. That's the domain of FFI pre-processors. However I don't know o
