Or even at compile time (which is why I think it's reasonable to regard operations like newIORef etc.. as not really being "IO" operations at all).
You can allocate heap space at compile time? (Well, I guess you could, but that wouldn't still be usable at run time...) I imagine newIORef as mallocing() some room, then returning a pointer to that memory. That doesn't seem like something that could be done at compile time. -- -David House, [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
