Re: Problem with Windows ghc 6.8.2

The session above was copied from a cygwin shell, but it does the same in an msys shell or cmd.exe. Both versions of ghc were installed using the official binary distribution. I'm having trouble compiling ghc from source at the moment (I think there's another issue I'm hitting with the 6.6.1 build, haven't tracked it down yet) so I can't debug what is going wrong myself. I'd appreciate people's advice about what to do. Should my test program work or am I doing something wrong? Maybe there are some optional libraries to install that I have missed, that used to be core? ___ Glasgow-haskell-users mailing list Glasgow-haskell-users@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-users
how to use ghci-debugger with packages
Hello, I have a program which uses some code in a package, and I would like to be able to find out the source of an error which is occuring inside that package. Can I use the ghci-debugger to do this? If I try to set a breakpoint inside the package, it says: cannot set breakpoint on Vector.Sparse.Wrappers.vmergeOp: module Vector.Sparse.Wrappers is not interpreted But this page: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/current/docs/users_guide/ghci-debugger.html has no use of the word package, so I assume that reading that (long) document won't ansnwer my question...

The modules of an installed package are always compiled, I think. That's what I think as well, but I'm not sure (and it seems like the documentation should mention that: CC'ing glasgow-haskell-bugs). I can't see a reason why an installed package wouldn't be able to contain its own source code, for instance... If you have the source available, you could try to put that in your working directory (probably hide the installed package before starting ghci). Thanks, I may try that. I'm currently trying to get my GNU-make-based build to install profiling versions of package modules, in the hope that -xc might give more useful information than it did a year ago...

Visual Haskell sources
Hello, The Visual Haskell 0.2 release notes [1] say that sources are available, but the download page only has binaries available. Where are the sources? Also, does it use the Visual Studio SDK, and is it compatible with VS 2008? Thanks.

static constants -- ideas?
I have an awkward programming problem -- I need to take a dictionary, parse it, build a bunch of intermediate lists and then make maps and tries out of the list. A programming problem because it's taken me a fair amount of effort to pull together the parser and list generator -- and awkward because a 69000 item list, [(String, [(String, String)])], does not compile under GHC (stack overflow). (It's not likely to compile under anything else, either!) Members of #haskell have urged me to load the offending material from a file; indeed, it only takes ten seconds to parse the dictionary and build the lists, sort them and dump them back out again -- but it offends my sensibilities. I don't want to wait ten seconds to load my dictionary every time. I could use the FFI, then I can make the trie and lists all in C. That'd work great. My list likely uses too much RAM now, anyways. I'm considering one other option though -- I wonder if I can build large constants in GHC Core? If anybody has tried it -- or found some other way to make big huge constants in Haskell -- I would sure like to know about it. On another note, I am extremely curious about the difference between statically compiling a list and building it at runtime. I find it hard to wrap my head around the fact that I can build the list at runtime in a short time, but can not compile it without eating all of my machine's RAM. Is it due to laziness, maybe? Well, no -- because I subject the whole list to a sort. It's not just streaming records in from one IO handle and out another. -- _jsn ___ Glasgow-haskell-users mailing list Glasgow-haskell-users@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-users
