Oops. \begin{code} module MPTC where class MPTC a b where fun :: a - b \end{code} should have been: \begin{code} {-# OPTIONS -fglasgow-exts #-} module MPTC where class MPTC a b where fun :: a - b \end{code} --FC

Command-line option pragma doesn't work with birdtracks

1998-04-27 Thread Frank A. Christoph
The options pragma syntax doesn't work in a literate file using the birdtrack syntax: {-# OPTIONS -fglasgow-exts #-} module MPTC where class MPTC a b where fun :: a - b yields an error because the class has multiple parameters and the pragma isn't recognized whereas \begin{code} module

GHC complains about: class (Monad m, {-, Monad (t m)-}) = MonadT t m where lift :: m a - (t m) a instance (Monad m) = Monad (EnvT env m) where ... instance (Monad (EnvT env m)) = MonadT (EnvT env) m where ... ... OK, there are two things going on. First, GHC is meant to

RE: GHC 3.03

1998-07-13 Thread Frank A. Christoph
We've fixed a few bugs in GHC 3.02, thanks to useful bug reports from several of you. I'd rather not release an 'official' 3.03 because it takes half a day to do a full release, and meanwhile we have a substantial new compiler in the works (new RTS, CAF space leaks squashed, new GC, new Core

RE: +RTS -K in ghc-4

1998-10-21 Thread Frank A. Christoph
Running the programs compiled with ghc-4 (several examples), i have noticed that it pretends to spend thousands of space less than ghc-3.02. Typically, ghc-3.02 with +RTS -H100k -K9k runs as fast as ghc-4with +RTS-K4 According to 4-00-notes.vsgml, the latter -K4 means

RE: FiniteMap.lhs

1998-12-19 Thread Frank A. Christoph
I wish to use the FiniteMap module, lib/exts/FiniteMap.lhs, but want to use it from both GHC and hugs. As it is hugs can't use it because it imports PrelBase. (btw, why didn't it make it into the joint GHC/Hugs Libraries? - seems v. useful). As far as I can see this can be fixed by placing

HPPA 4.03 binary crashes

RE: GHC does not like modules starting with Z?

I am a long-time Hugs user, but am relatively new to ghc. I've been trying to get a Makefile working, with little success. After much investigation, the problem seems to be not with my Makefile, but that ghc does not like modules whose names start with 'Z'. Seems that a module called Zabc

My name's Jesse and I'm starting first year computer science this year. Our first language is Haskell, which we study for about 6 weeks. Before classes start I and a few friends are trying to get a handle on haskell. We've each tried using your compiler with no luck. I have some experience
