Hmm, I understand that efficiency is an issue, but in that case shouldn't unsafe writing be provided by and unsafeWriteArray function, while writeArray does proper range checking? Or at least this problem with writeArray should be clearly indicated in the documentation. I for one spent several hours debugging before finding out about this lack of proper range checks so it's not an imaginary problem. -- Grzegorz _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
