Unicode source files
Hello it is true what to support unicode source files only StringBuffer implementation must be changed? if so, then task can be simplified by converting any files read by hGetStringBuffer to UTF-32 (PackedString) representation and putting in memory array in this form. After this, we must change indexing of ByteArray to indexing of Array Int Char, and somewhat replace call to mkFastSubStringBA#. btw, why in FastString module unicode strings are saved as [Int], not as String itself? -- Best regards, Bulat mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Glasgow-haskell-users mailing list Glasgow-haskell-users@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-users
RE: Haddock generated documentation for Control.Monad.Error

But when I look at the source code in libraries/mtl/Control/Monad/Error.hs it clearly is. Why is this happening? The instance is defined in Control.Monad.Error, that's all. (Haddock doesn't currently tell you which instances are exported via which modules, and I consider this to be a bug - though I'm not exactly sure of the best way to fix it).

Re: Error building ghc 6.4 under os x
Jeff, Mmaybe I was right about the portfile not being up to date. The latest does indeed refer to -v01, and the haskell ftp site has the -v01 bootstrap compiler (just checked!). Send me your portfile, along with a transcript of the sudo port -dv install output.

RE: deprecate a constructor?
OK, I've fixed this one, in the HEAD at least. You can now deprecate
data constructors as well as type constructors. Not in the 6.4 branch
though, because doing so could conceivably make some programs fail.

multiple versions of ghc
Is it true that on unix, tools like ghc-pkg-6.2.2 and ghc-pkg-6.4 may co-exist, but on Windows the version number is not present, so a single executable is simply called ghc-pkg.exe? If so, how do Windows users deal with having more than one version of ghc installed simultaneously? Is this just a bug/oversight that can be fixed?

I'm not on my Windows box at the moment, but If I Remember Correctly,
GHC gets installed to a C:\ghc\ghc-{version} directory by default.
So, you should be able to install two versions of ghc to e.g. C:\ghc
\ghc-6.2.2 and C:\ghc\ghc-6.4.
To manage the two different versions, you might be able to use a
utility such as Junction[1] to create a symlink (a junction, in
NTFS parlance) to the proper GHC directory. Here's the idea:
* Add a directory named e.g. C:\ghc\working to your %PATH%.
* Junction C:\ghc\working to C:\ghc\ghc-6.4 if you want to use GHC
6.4, or junction it to C:\ghc\working\ghc-6.2.2 if you want to use
GHC 6.2.2.
* Write some small batch files to switch between the two
directories if you need to do it often.
I guess you could also just rename all the .exe's in the GHC install
directories to have -6.2.2. and -6.4 suffixes, but I dunno if that'll
break anything.
(Note that I haven't tried any of this, but I see no reason why it
wouldn't work.)
