NAME = VALUE the inliner should easily take care of it, if VALUE is a constant. Note that in the designation above, NAME will *be* a constant value due to the functional aspect of Haskell (it can't change later on). You need the discrimination in C because something like int NAME = VALUE; defines a global variable, which may change and hence cannot be inlined. -- J. _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
