RE: monomorphism wierdness

1998-11-11 Thread Simon Peyton-Jones
I allege that this is a Hugs bug! Yes, delayTrans is monomorphic, so it can only be used at one type. And indeed, it *is* used at one type, namely Bool. We use the defaults when the situation is ambiguous; here it isn't. Perhaps I should add a clarifying para to the report? Simon

I whinged about: [stuff] Other people seem to have got further than I did in sun-sparc builds -- is there a workaround that I could be using, pending an actual fix? [ Or enough ftp space for the binary version. ;-) ] Slan, Alex.

4.00 binaries for sparc-sun-solaris2 available

1998-11-11 Thread Simon Marlow
Hi Folks, I've built a fixed 4.00 for sparc-sun-solaris2 and put it on the FTP site: ftp://ftp.dcs.gla.ac.uk/pub/haskell/glasgow/4.00/ghc-4.00-sparc-sun-solaris2 .tar.gz This version does *not* have the relocate_TSO() bug (so strictly speaking it's 4.00-patchlevel1). Cheers, Simon --

New beta of Hugs 1.4 (modules *and* type system extensions)

1998-11-11 Thread Mark P Jones
[Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] A new *beta* version of Hugs is available from: ftp://ftp.cs.nott.ac.uk/haskell/hugs/Hugs-98-source.zip or, if you prefer, from: ftp://ftp.cs.nott.ac.uk/haskell/hugs/Hugs-98-source.tar.gz This version combines the type

MonadZero, MonadPlus

1998-11-11 Thread Klaus Georg Barthelmann
The following is independent of whether MonadPlus is moved to the library or not. Therefore I dare to raise a new issue that is related to monads ... As I understand it, class Monad now contains fail and the IO monad is no longer a subclass of Monad. Wouldn't it be nice, then, to add a predicate

monomorphism etc.

1998-11-11 Thread David Feuer
I tried and failed to understand the reasons given in the Report (1.4) for the monomorphism restriction and other type things. Could someone explain what these mean and why they are needed? I think it would be really nice if it were possible to create a container capable of containing any number
