Re: bug in language definition (strictness)

I wonder if this discussion has veered too far into legalistic reasoning (of various sorts). From where I'm standing the state-of-play is this: 1. Compiler writers (and some users) want a liberal version of seq (that's slippery about evaluation order) for optimizations and better correspondence

Well... I built some (not all) of the 6.8.2-related packages in Haskell Unsafe on etch. It's a little tricky because you need to get some build dependencies from unstable and some from Haskell Unsafe (as source and then build them on etch), but it is possible to work that out. I could reconstruct

One of the smaller nits I noticed when looking at profiles generated by 6.8.1 (using -prof -auto-all) is that class methods show up as cost centers named something like $f5. I can look at the call stack and figure out that $f5 is probably the call to a particular class method in a particular

I seem to recall reading in a GHC status report that there was some work going on with parallel garbage-collection. Looking at 6.8.1, it seems pretty clear that it didn't make it. Is there any update about where things are on that front? It isn't an immediately pressing need a Bluespec, but we do

% of memory unit to heap-controlling RTS flags

If you're trying to produce ghc executables that will work well without tweaking on machines with different configurations, it would handy to be able to control the heap requested based on the size of physical RAM. For instance, you might want to set -M to 100% or 80% of physical RAM and -H to
