> module A where > Main.main = putLine "HALLO" You cannot define a function belonging to another module than the current (`A' in this case). Instead, call your module `Main', but put into a file called `A.hs'. This should work. However, the interface file created by ghc will be called `Main.hi',

Graph reduction and lambda lifting

Hi! Where can I find papers on the topics "graph reduction", "lambda lifting", "g-machine", "TIM", etc. in the web? The only paper I could find at home was the paper on STG and something about Turner's combinator reduction. Kili -- de: Signaturen erzeugen Krebs. en: Signatures cause c

Re: ANNOUNCE: GHC 4.06 released

Hi! I wonder what the cvs release naming strategy is. Ist 4.06 on the main cvs branch, or is there a special tag for official releases, or what else? A `cvs up -dPA -r 4.06' in the fptools directory simply removed everything (don't worry, I did make a copy before the update). Bye, Kili

Wanted: mmap or other fast IO

2000-01-31 Thread Matthias Kilian
Hello, Is there any interface to mmap(2) available? Something that behaves like an immutable array would be great. An mmap may have a signature like mmap :: Ix a, ?? b => Handle -> IO (Array a b) I've no idea what types should be allowed for b. It has to be some fixed size type, e.g. Int, but
