GHC 5.02.2: ghci type-reporting "error"

ghci --help not helpful

2002-02-22 Thread Keith Wansbrough

Hi... when I type ghci --help, I get the help for the compiler, not the 
interpreter.  Perhaps the docs could be changed?

Also, I'd like an analogue of hugs' `runhugs', that automatically 
invokes `main', and then exits when that completes.

You can't use existential quantification for newtype declarations. So this is illegal: 
  newtype T = forall a. Ord a => MkT a

Reason: a value of type T must be represented as a pair of a
dictionary for Ord t and a value of type t. That contradicts the idea
that newtype should have no concrete representation. You can get just
the same efficiency and effect by using data instead of newtype. If
there is no overloading involved, then there is more of a case for
allowing an existentially-quantified newtype, because the data because
the data version does carry an implementation cost, but single-field
existentially quantified constructors aren't much use. So the simple
restriction (no existential stuff on newtype) stands, unless there are
convincing reasons to change it.

Please correct me if I'm wrong:

The two syntaxes are:

 (i)  let ?x = foo in bar
 (ii) bar with ?x = foo

Surely we could use *zero* extra identifiers by writing:

  (ia)  let ?x = foo in bar
  (iia) bar where ?x = foo

i.e., s/dlet/let/ and s/with/where/ .

I thought this was mentioned at the Haskell Implementors' Meeting.

Haskell makes the "open world" assumption... there may be new
instances added later, and the behaviour of a well-typed program
should not change if this occurs.

I'll defer further discussion of this to the experts (Mark Jones?).

It is fair.  Let's rename your type variables to make what's going on a little clearer:

  main = return ()
  
  class HasConfig a b where
 ($$) :: a -> b -> b
  
  class NodeTypeConfigParms a b where
 nodeTypeConfig :: a c -> b c -> b c
  
  instance (NodeTypeConfigParms a b) => HasConfig (a c) (b c) where
 ($$) = nodeTypeConfig
  
  class ArcTypeConfigParms a b where
 arcTypeConfig :: a c -> b c -> b c

  instance (ArcTypeConfigParms a b) => HasConfig (a c) (b c) where
 ($$) = arcTypeConfig
  
  
You can now see that the two instance declarations overlap: their
right hand sides are in fact *identical*.  Remember that the
typechecker simply matches on the right-hand sides ("heads") of the
instance declarations.

If you do -fallow-undecidable-instances, I think your program will
work (in the Prolog-ish backtracking way), but note that if
NodeTypeConfigParms and ArcTypeConfigParms are ever given instances at
the same pair of types, the value of ($$) will be undefined.

did configure, make, make install-docs.  The latter yields an error:

Indeed, these two are directories.  What is going on?  I tried adding 
'-d' to the command line for install, but that did *weird* things to my

Re: Addition to Position of p_hi-files for Profiling under Windo

In the Windows install, the files are currently put in the wrong place. 
 A fix is to simply move the contents of imports/* to lib/imports/* ; 
presumably the library files have to move appropriately too.  The 
profiling files live in the same directories as the normal files, and 
are distinguished simply by their names.

Reuben is working on this as we speak.  InstallShield has a 
particularly horrible interface for fixing this kind of problem, 
unfortunately.

For the record: This is the same bug that causes certain programs

It would appear that you don't have the parallel build of the compiler installed 
properly.

GHC is built with one or more `ways'.  The normal `way' is  the default, but there are 
also `p' for profiling, `t' for ticky-ticky, and ... `mp' for parallel.  When 
compiling with a `way' other than the normal one, GHC looks for Foo.mp_hi, Foo.mp_o, 
and so on instead of Foo.hi, Foo.o.

So there should a file Prelude.mp_hi in one of the directories GHC is looking through. 
 GHC is complaining that it's not there.

HTH.

cvs co -r ghc-4-06-branch

will give you the 4.06 tree.

cvs diff -r ghc-4-06-branch 

will give you the diffs between your current tree and ghc 4.06.

`ghc-4-06-branch' includes any patches to the released GHC-4.06 since the initial 
release (eg, ghc-4-04-branch is GHC 4.04 pl1); `ghc-4-06' is the initially-released

Following Haskell 98, if the module declaration is omitted it now
defaults to "module Main(main) where", rather than the previous
default of exporting everything.
  
Furthermore, "module Main where" also defaults to exporting just
Main.main rather than everything in the module (modules other than
Main behave as normal).  This permits the usage inference to give
better results for the Main module, since exported functions get
worse types than nonexported functions.

(this is number 4 of 9 commits to be applied together)
  
The major purpose of this commit is to introduce usage information
and usage analysis into the compiler, per the paper _Once Upon a
Polymorphic Type_ (Keith Wansbrough and Simon Peyton Jones, POPL'99,
and Glasgow TR-1998-19).
  
Usage information has been added to types, in the form of a new kind
of NoteTy: (UsgNote UsageAnn(UsOnce|UsMany|UsVar UVar)).  Usages
print as __o (once), __m (many, usually omitted), or (not in
interface files) __uv.  Usage annotations should only appear at
certain places in a type (see the paper).  The `default' annotation
is __m, and so an omitted annotation implies __m.  Utility functions
for handling usage annotations are provided in Type.
  
If the compiler is built with -DUSMANY (a flag intended for use in
debugging by KSW only), __m are *required* and may not be omitted.
  
The major constraint is that type arguments (eg to mkAppTy) must be
unannotated on top.  To maintain this invariant, many functions
required the insertion of Type.unUsgTy (removing annot from top of a
type) or UsageSPUtils.unannotTy (removing all annotations from a
type).  A function returning usage-annotated types for primops has
been added to PrimOp.
  
A new kind of Note, (TermUsg UsageAnn), has been added to annotate
Terms.  This note is *not* printed in interface files, and for the
present does not escape the internals of the usage inference engine.

Importing in a .hi-boot file

1999-07-08 Thread Keith Wansbrough

Hi... if I write a .hi-boot(-5) file that imports from another module 
(in this case to re-export), GHC looks for that module's .hi file.  I 
would prefer it to look for a .hi-boot file.

__interface TypeFr 1 0 where
__export TypeFr Type Kind SuperKind ;
1 data Type ;
1 type Kind = Type ;
1 type SuperKind = Type ;

and

__interface Type 1 0 where
__export TypeFr Type Kind SuperKind ;

Here TypeFr is the friends' interface, which contains the 
representation details, and Type publishes only the abstract data type. 
 I would like importers to be able to write

import {-# SOURCE #-}   Type( Type )

(if they are not friends), but at present they must write

import {-# SOURCE #-}   TypeFr( Type )

Thanks.

Minimal complete definition for Enum

1999-07-07 Thread Keith Wansbrough

Hi... cf

Haskell Report appendix A:

  class Enum ...
  -- Minimal complete definition:
  --   toEnum, fromEnum

Glasgow Haskell v4.02:

KDBPrim.lhs:40:
Warning: No explicit method nor default method for `enumFromThen'

Hmm... this seems to be a bug in the Haskell report too... the 
definition is missing from the example Prelude.  Cc'd to Haskell list.

On the 11th May the .hi format changed from what you have above, 
slightly; this shouldn't cause the problem you mention but it does mean 
that your ghc is older than you think.  It should look like this:

> 1 zdfHasTextWindow :: __forall [v] => {GUIValue.GUIValue v} -> {GUIState.GUIObject 
>Window} -> {GUIBaseClasses.HasText Window v} ;

HTH.

GHC dies with no error message

1999-05-06 Thread Keith Wansbrough

Probably not repeatable, but in case someone recognises it:

In the latest GHC 4.03 from CVS, compiling using ghc-4.02, and with 
GhcLibHcOpts=-DDEBUG -fno-prune-tydecls -O -fno-specialise, when it 
gets to lib/exts/Word.lhs it dies with no error message:



==fptools== make all --no-print-directory -r;

make[3]: *** [Word.o] Error 1
make[2]: *** [all] Error 1
make[1]: *** [all] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 1
Make all failed; aborting...


When I change into the appropriate directory and apply the above 
command with a -v added on the end to find out where it's dying, it 
works fine.  A classic case of `it doesn't crash when I'm in the 
debugger' (s/debugger/verbose mode/ of course).

Ideas?

Thanks.

createPipe documentation error

1999-04-23 Thread Keith Wansbrough


I suspect this is a documentation error...

Posix.createPipe returns two Fds, one for reading and one for writing.  
According to chapter 6 of the User Guide, they are (write,read); 
according to the sources and a test program, they are (read,write).

Just FYI.

-Wall and underscored names

1999-04-14 Thread Keith Wansbrough

Consider the following simple Haskell program.

---8<---
import System

data Foo = Bar
 | Baz
 deriving (Eq,Ord)

main :: IO ()
main = do { argv <- getArgs
  ; case argv of
  ["forty-two"] -> print "HHGTTG"
  _otherwise-> print "oh well"
  }
---8<---

With this morning's ghc-4.03 and the -Wall option, I get the
following:

---8<---
sphere$ /homes/kw217/Scratch/Builds/i386-unknown-linux/fptools-4.xx-cvs/
ghc/driver/ghc-4.03 Test.hs -Wall

Test.hs:11: Warning: Defined but not used: _otherwise
Note: renameSourceCode found warnings 
  Test.hs:3: Warning: Defined but 
not used: cmp_eq{-ryO-}
  
  :
  Warning: definition but no 
type signature for
   
`con2tag_Foozh{-rxq-}'
ghc-4.03: module version unchanged at 2
sphere$ 
---8<---

Notice three things here.

1. Despite the following comment in the CVS log for 1999/01/14 17:59:10 
sof:

  * _ as lower-case letter, "_" is a reserved id. Prefixing unused
variable names in patterns with '_' causes the renamer not to
report such names as being unused.

we are getting a warning for `_otherwise'.

2. The formatting of the next two warnings leaves something to be
desired.

3. The warnings for cmp_eq and Foo# relate to internal GHC-generated
code, rather than anything the programmer has done wrong.  (except
perhaps that the Eq and Ord dictionaries are not used; but then the
error message is rather unclear).

-fglasgow-exts and module exports with GHC 4

1998-12-17 Thread Keith Wansbrough

I have discovered a bug in the handling of hi files in the presence of 
-fglasgow-exts.  Below is a module, MyModule.hs, which uses Word internally 
but exports a function of type Integer->Integer.  There is also a Main.hs 
module which uses this function, but of course does not import Word since it 
doesn't need to.

Under ghc-3.02 I get the expected behaviour: I give -fglasgow-exts when 
compiling MyModule.hs, but not when compiling Main.hs.  I do, however, need to 
give -fglasgow-exts when linking.

Under ghc-4.01 (well, the head of the CVS tree as of yesterday), however, I 
need to give -fglasgow-exts when compiling Main.hs, too.  This is surely wrong!

I have attached a README giving a transcript of the session.

--KW 8-)


module MyModule ( myFun ) where

import Word ( Word32 )

myFun :: Integer -> Integer

myFun n = let w  :: Word32
  w  =  fromInteger n
  w' :: Word32
  w' =  w + 1
  in  toInteger w'



module Main ( main ) where

import MyModule ( myFun )

main = do { let n :: Integer
n =  1
  ; print (myFun n)
  }


Keith Wansbrough 1998-12-17

I think I have found a bug in GHC regarding the -fglasgow-exts flag.
If I have a module that requires -fglasgow-exts, and export from this
module some functions and/or constructors that don't explicitly
mention this -fglasgow-exts stuff, I should be able to import the
module and use it in another module without -fglasgow-exts.  Certainly
the compiler needs to look at the exts libraries, but this should all
be behind the scenes in the hi-file-handling stuff.  This appears not
to be the case:

First, with ghc-3.02 pl 0:

sphere:FGEBug$ ghc-3.02 -c MyModule.hs
 
MyModule.hs:3: Could not find valid interface file `Word'
 
MyModule.hs:3: Module `Word' does not export `Word32'

Jeepers! message

1998-12-10 Thread Keith Wansbrough

What does this mean?  (it's a warning, not an error)

(compiling the prelude with a ghc-new-rts as of yesterday, plus some mods of 
my own, compiled with -DDEBUG using ghc-3.02, on Linux).

configure --exec-prefix

1998-12-03 Thread Keith Wansbrough

Hi... using yesterday's anon-cvs new-rts tree, I configured with

  ./configure --prefix=~ --exec-prefix=~/ix86_linux

Everything finally built, and so I did

  make install

For some reason, --exec-prefix appears to have been ignored.  Further, 
everything has wound up in ~/lib/* rather than ~/lib/ghc-4.01/* as I would 
have expected.

Ideas?


Thanks..

Aha!  Me too... I've been getting this for a while, and thought I was the only one.  I 
too changed the prefix at some stage in the distant past, although I hadn't considered 
that that could be the problem.  Actually, for me those two are defined but the 
corresponding DATA_SECTION_END_MARKER_DECL etc is not set up correctly, so I get `end' 
undeclared and `etext' undeclared.

The generated mk/config.h contains:

/* Define as the symbol which marks the end of the data section */
#define DATA_SECTION_END_MARKER end

/* Define as the decl which terminates the data section */
/* #undef DATA_SECTION_END_MARKER_DECL */

which seems curious.

[to the list because I had the same problem]

The head of the tree is still 3.03; if you want 4 you have to do

cvs co -r new-rts fpconfig
cd fptools
cvs co -r new-rts ghc

HTH.
