Importing instances without pangling Make

At the time of writing, I am waiting for yet another long Haskell re-make of lots of modules to complete. The frustrating thing is, that at least 90% of these remakes are actually completely unnecessary. Suppose module A imports module B and B imports C. So in my automatically generated Make fi

Floating-point nitpicking: floor(Inf) and floor(NaN)

2000-02-25 Thread George Russell
floor(Inf) and floor(NaN) do not appear to be defined in Standard Haskell. (They both come down to "properFraction" which is only defined for Ratio.) This differs from (for example) the Standard ML Basis Library, where it is specified that floor(Int) should raise Overflow and floor(NaN) should rai
