Hello,
I am using "import Debug.Trace" to debug some code but it is
not working as expected. I believe this is due to lazy evaluation.
But I cannot see how I can circumvent it. To exemplify I have
the following function:
tagFun :: (POSTags -> Tag) -> POSTags -> POSTags
tagFun f corpus = Z.foldlz' tag Z.empty corpus
where
tag acc z = Z.insert newTag acc
where
(token, correctTag, _proposdTag) = trace "cursor " Z.cursor z
proposed = trace "proposed tag" (f z)
newTag = ( token, correctTag, proposed )
If I place tracing at:
tag acc z = trace ("tag "++token++" = "++ show newTag) Z.insert
newTag acc
then it works ok. However the lines
(token, correctTag, _proposdTag) = trace "cursor " Z.cursor z
proposed = trace "proposed tag" (f z)
don't work. They only appear once. I assume they should appear with
every element in the zipper. Can anyone explain why?
TIA,
Hugo F.
