I want to use the list-tries package for a little hobby project, but my
naive idea about how it should work is obviously wrong:
module TryPat where
import Data.ListTrie.Patricia.Map
a = singleton "harry" 99
yields the error:
No instance for (Data.ListTrie.Base.Map.Map map0 Char)
arising from a use of `singleton'
Possible fix:
add an instance declaration for
(Data.ListTrie.Base.Map.Map map0 Char)
In the expression: singleton "harry" 99
In an equation for `a': a = singleton "harry" 99
Now, there is some stuff about this in the docs:
The data types are parametrized over the map type they use internally to
store the child nodes: this allows extending them to support different
kinds
of key types or increasing efficiency. Child maps are required to be
instances of the Map class in
Data.ListTrie.Base.Map<http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/list-tries/0.4.1/doc/html/Data-ListTrie-Patricia-Map.html>.
Some operations
additionally require an OrdMap instance.
But frankly, I don't understand it, especially the type signatures. Any
hints on how I might go about making an instance for Map map0 Char?

Hi Matthew
You'll have to give `a` a concrete type, as `singleton` is overloaded,
GHC cannot infer a type.
The TrieMap type is quite complicated as it allows different
representations of (finite) Maps within it. There are three different
internal maps you can use (the three pre-defined instances of the Map
class - Data.Map, WrappedIntMap and AList) - I'd go for Data.Map as it
will be faster than AList and I think you are using Char for key so
you can't use an IntMap.
I don't have the package `list-tries` installed but I'd guess at one
of these two for the concrete type signature.
Assuming you have imported Data.Map as
import qualified Data.Map as Map
(Probably this...)
a :: TrieMap Map.Map [Char] Int
(Possibly this...)
a :: TrieMap (Map.Map Char Int) [Char] Int

Thanks a lot, Stephen - was just about giving up on this.
The correct type signature turned out to be:
import Data.ListTrie.Patricia.Map as P
import qualified Data.Map as Map
a :: P.TrieMap Map.Map Char Int
a = P.singleton "harry" 99

Hi, Edward.
Thank you very much for your help. Very concisely.Russian say: brevity is
the sister of talent. I made my own naive
solution<http://rsdn.ru/forum/decl/4543044.1.aspx> which
based on VoidEx's advise <http://rsdn.ru/forum/decl/4541766.1.aspx>. In
Russian, but I think, you'll see the idea. It has some noise such as
CLazyList what is no more than code atavism from previous versions.
Happy hacking, too!
Alexander.

I am running OS X 10.6.8 with Xcode 4. I have the Haskell Platform installed,
ghc v. 7.0.3.
I cannot get the llvm haskell bindings to install correctly using cabal. I get
this at the tail end of messages from cabal:
checking llvm-c/Core.h usability... yes
checking llvm-c/Core.h presence... yes
checking for llvm-c/Core.h... yes
checking llvm/Support/DynamicLibrary.h usability... yes
checking llvm/Support/DynamicLibrary.h presence... yes
checking for llvm/Support/DynamicLibrary.h... yes
checking for LLVMModuleCreateWithName in -lLLVMCore... no
checking for LLVMModuleCreateWithName in -lLLVMCore... no
configure: error: could not find LLVM C bindings
cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:
llvm-0.10.0.1 failed during the configure step. The exception was:
ExitFailure 1
Has anyone had any luck getting this set up? Googling leads me to some rather
terse comments that the Apple llvm installation does not include the required
llvm libraries. I hate to install a separate set of llvm stuff with macports,
or the llvm repository, because I fear that I might run into all kinds of
puzzling conflicts with the Apple stuff.
Ideas?

Here, configure has found LLVM C library, but the found library does
not have the functionality required.
> configure: error: could not find LLVM C bindings
So here configure reports that it cannot find LLVM C library.

It looks like your guess is correct - the LLVM C library you have
installed isn't what the Haskell bindings want.

This might be where someone else jumps in - I've had luck with
MacPorts + Haskell in the past, but it can be a struggle. I've never
tried this particular case.
In particular the iconv situation is nightmarish (Apple iconv and
MacPorts iconv are not ABI compatible), but that's really a special
case of the more general problem of building things against MacPorts.

Okay, I want to write code in the Either monad in order to throw errors
with logging. I did this a while ago but can't find my code and I forget
what I did.
Note that I'm using ghc 6.12.3, which I installed via the haskell platform.
First question is: do I use Control.Monad.Error or Control.Monad.Either?
Second question is: I want to have each monadic function within the stack
of functions that is currently running catch the error and add some context
to the log.
For instance I need to have a function called, let's say,
"catchAndAnnotate" that functions like the following. I'm just making this
up-- how is it really done?
func1 :: SomeType -> Either String SomeType
func1 x = ("running in func1 with argument " ++ show x) `catchAndAnnotate`
(do y <- somework x
when (isBad y) (throwError "oops")
return y)
somework :: SomeType -> Either String SomeType
somework x = ("running in somework with argument ++ show x)
`catchAndAnnotate` (whatever x)
whatever :: SomeType -> Either String SomeType
whatever = ...

Hi Dennis
If you want logging you probably want a Writer monad. Either / error
monads only support single message on failure. For logging you have to
pass an accumulator throughout the computation so it can store
messages - this is what Writer does.
If you want logging and error you probably want a combined Error and
Writer monad.
