[Haskell-cafe] Baffled by Disk IO

2006-07-29 Thread Matthew Bromberg
I have run into a baffling distinction between the behavior of GHCi and the compiled binary from GHC. I suspect it's something pretty stupid on my part. I have the following test program import Matrix main = let f1 = bRgauss 4 3 f2 = bRgauss 3 2 fu = f1 *. f2 in bsave "fumat" fu

Hi I'm very excited by the ability to pass functions or IO actions between threads of the same program. But I don't see any language or library support for doing so between programs, or between sessions with the same program. OCaml provides a partial solution: I know Tom Shackell has been tr

[Haskell-cafe] Sending Ctrl-C under Windows

2006-07-29 Thread Neil Mitchell
Hi, I want to send Ctrl-C to a process opened by runInteractiveCommand, under Windows. I have found System.Posix.Signals, but on Windows none of those methods exist. For further information, the processes I want to send Ctrl-C to are ghci and hugs, so doing something like terminateProcess isn't
