Oh. Well then, good call. :)
I've got Atomo up and running on GHC 7 now. Very nice performance
boosts! Plus memory appears to be freed, though I can't test loading
as it panics:
atomo $ atomo
> load: "src/empty.hs"
atomo: atomo: panic! (the 'impossible' happened)
(GHC version 7.0.0.20100924 for i386-apple-darwin):
Testing for extension flag Opt_Generics before flattening
Please report this as a GHC bug: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/reportabug
Daniel: I've attached a patch containing the changes I made to Hint to
get it compiling (though not working apparently) on GHC 7. Hope it
helps!
