-monly-N-regs ?
While I was trying to compiling ArrBase.o on i386-unknown-solaris2 this
message appeared:
>/tmp/ghc18527.hc:6388: fixed or forbidden register was spilled.
>This may be due to a compiler bug or to impossible asm
>statements or clauses.
Looking up gcc in the docs gave me this:
>If your GCC dies with ``internal error'' on some GHC source file,
>please let us know, so we can report it and get things improved.
>(Exception: on \tr{iX86} boxes---you may need to fiddle with GHC's
>\tr{-monly-N-regs} option; ask if confused...)
What does it all mean?
imc
PS gcc version is 2.7.2.1

Sigbjorn said "the backend is trying to steal more x86 registers than gcc can handle". The solution is to do the following, compile ArrBase separately using: make EXTRA_HC_OPTS=-monly-2-regs ghc/ArrBase.o Then go on with the make. -- Meurig Sage Dept of Computing Science University of Glasgow http://www.dcs.gla.ac.uk/~meurig mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: More questions on installing 2.05
Me again... :-( After my success at compiling ghc-2.05 on SunOS 4, I am now attempting it on sparc-sun-solaris2.5.1 and i386-unknown-solaris2.5 and both of them have stopped with this: ghc-0.29 -cpp -fhaskell-1.3 -fglasgow-exts -DCOMPILING_GHC -Rghc-timing -I. -I codeGen -InativeGen -Iparser -iutils -ibasicTypes -itypes -ihsSyn -iprelude -i rename -itypecheck -ideSugar -icoreSyn -ispecialise -isimplCore -istranal -ist gSyn -isimplStg -icodeGen -iabsCSyn -imain -ireader -iprofiling -iparser -inat iveGen -fomit-derived-read -fomit-reexported-instances -DOMIT_DEFORESTER -O -H 20m-c absCSyn/PprAbsC.lhs -o absCSyn/PprAbsC.o -osuf o "codeGen/ClosureInfo.hi", line 72: undefined type constructor: StgSyn.StgBinderInfo "codeGen/ClosureInfo.hi", line 74: undefined type constructor: CgMonad.CgInfoDownwards "codeGen/ClosureInfo.hi", line 74: undefined type constructor: CgMonad.CgState [snip more of the same] Compilation had errors make: *** [absCSyn/PprAbsC.o] Error 1 (and is there any way to get "make all" abort if "cd ghc/compiler;make all" has errors?) Oddly enough it compiles OK if I take the -O out, so perhaps I'll continue with that (it occurs to me that I probably didn't compile the sunos one with the -O flag. [pause] yes, it doesn't work with -O on sunos either). imc
GHC 2.04 List module: minor 1.4 conformance pbs and a bug (?)
[Sorry if this comes twice, Mew died on me.]
Hi
In GHC 2.04, the module List does not conform to the Haskell 1.4
Library Report (but it should?): List needs to export the definitions
`unionBy' and `intersectBy'.
Also, unless I haven misunderstood something, the definition of
`unionBy', and thus `union', is wrong (although identical to the one
in the report):
Bug.hs
import List
{- from List.lhs
union :: (Eq a) => [a] -> [a] -> [a]
union = unionBy (==)
unionBy :: (a -> a -> Bool) -> [a] -> [a] -> [a]
unionBy eq xs ys= xs ++ foldl (flip (deleteBy eq)) ys xs
-}
main = print (union [] [1,1])
The answer is [1,1], but should be [1] (see *). `unionBy' needs to
"nub" the argument `ys' and use the result in the fold.
Cheers,
Bjarte
*) Haskell 1.4 Library Report, page 26, paragraph 5: [...] union and
intersect preserve the invariant that lists don't contain duplicates,
provided that their first argument contains no duplicates.

OK, I've got somewhere with this (is it mentioned anywhere in the installation instructions?) but in the users_guide directory the command lit2latex -c -o runtime_control.itex runtime_control.lit makes a file runtime_control.itex which is full of control characters and weird things. For example, the very first line of it is lit^@ile!_!-!_!1!_! and it contains no fewer than 30 copies of a single paragraph with minor variations. What gives? imc
2.02 newtype problem
In ghc 2.02 I seem to be having a problem. The following program module Test where newtype Test = Test String deriving (Eq, Ord) test :: [Test] -> Test test = maximum gives the error Test.hs:6: No instance for: PrelBase.Ord Test.Test Test.hs:6: at a use of an overloaded identifier: `PrelList.maximum' Changing newtype to data compiles fine however.
