The problem was that in the registerised build, we weren't maintaining the correct stack alignment for foreign calls, and printf() relies on having the right alignment because it saves the %xmm registers on the stack as part of the varargs magic.

[ ghc-Bugs-1174893 ] ghc-6.4 crashes on windows 2000

package.conf in ghc 6.4
Hi all,
I am using ghc 6.4 on a Mac, with the binary distribution available from
your site.
I have a suspision that the package.conf file distributed with it, is
incorrect. I am trying to install HSQL. During installation, it issues
the command:
/usr/local/bin/ghc-pkg -u -g -i hsql.pkg
with yields:
Reading package info from hsql.pkg ghc-pkg: Line 1: Invalid
syntax (no colon after field name)
To me, the hsql.pkg file looks sane:
Package
{name = hsql,
auto=True,
import_dirs = [/Users/rherk/soft/HSQL/lib/HSQL/GHC/imports],
source_dirs = [],
library_dirs =
[/Users/rherk/soft/HSQL/lib/HSQL/GHC,/Users/rherk/soft/mysql/lib/mysql],
hs_libraries = [HSsql],
extra_libraries = [mysqlclient,mysqlclient,m,z],
include_dirs = [],
c_includes = [],
package_deps = [base],
extra_ghc_opts = [],
extra_cc_opts = [],
extra_ld_opts = [],
framework_dirs = [],
extra_frameworks = []
}
However, the package.conf file looks somewhat strange (and huge). I have
attached it to this mail.
Could you please tell me what is wrong?
Thanks!
Regards,
Robert

[Haskell] ICLP 2005: Call for Papers
--- Apologies if you receive multiple copies --- Preliminary Call for Papers Twenty first International Conference on Logic Programming ICLP'05 2-5 October, 2004 Sitges (Barcelona) Spain Co-located with the International Conference on Principles and Practice of Constraint Programming (CP'05) http://www.iiia.csic.es/iclp2005/ The Conference -- The 21st International Conference on Logic Programming will be held near Barcelona (Spain) from October 2nd to October 5th, 2005. ICLP'05 will be colocated with the International Conference on Principles and Practice of Constraint Programming (CP'05). Conference scope Since the first conference held in Marseilles in 1982, ICLP has been the premier international conference for presenting research in logic programming. Contributions (papers and posters) are sought in all areas of logic programming including but not restricted to: Theory Implementation Semantic Foundations Compilation FormalismsMemory Management Nonmonotonic ReasoningVirtual Machines Knowledge Representation Parallelism Environments Alternative Paradigms Program Analysis Constraint Logic Programming Program TransformationAbductive Logic Programming Validation and Verification Inductive Logic Programming Debugging, Profiling Answer Set Programming Language IssuesApplications Concurrency Semantic Web Objects Software Engineering Coordination Web Tools Mobility Internet Agents Higher Order Artificial Intelligence Types Deductive Databases Modes Natural Language Programming Techniques Specific attention will be given to work providing novel integrations of these different areas, and to new applications of logic programming in general. Contributions on applications will be assessed with an emphasis on their impact and synergy with other areas, as opposed to technical maturity. Applications of logic programming to the Semantic Web are especially encouraged. The technical program will include several invited talks and advanced tutorials, in addition to the presentations of the accepted papers and posters. A special session on industrial applications of logic programming is also planned and several workshops will be held in parallel with the conference. For the first time, a doctoral student consortium will be organized as part of ICLP. Papers --- Papers must describe original, previously unpublished research, and must not be simultaneously submitted for publication elsewhere. They must be written in English and not exceed 15 pages in Springer LNCS format. The authors are encouraged, although not obliged, to submit their papers already in Springer LNCS format. General information about the Springer LNCS series and the LNCS authors' instructions are available at the Springer LNCS/LNAI home page (http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/index.html). Papers should express their contribution clearly, both in general and technical terms. It is essential to identify what was accomplished, describe its significance, and explain how the paper compares with and advances previous work. Authors should make every effort to make the technical content understandable to a broad audience. The primary means of submission will be electronic, in pdf format. If electronic submission is not possible, five hard copies should be sent to one of the program co-chairs. More information on the submission procedure will be available at http://www.utdallas.edu/ICLP05 Industrial Papers - A special session on industrial applications of logic programming is also planned during the conference. Papers accepted in this session will describe innovative applications of logic programming to industrial problems. The application's innovativeness and industrial impact will be the main criteria used for judging the paper. Papers accepted for this session will be published in the proceedings as shorter,(up to) 10 pages papers. Posters --- Posters provide a forum for presenting work in an informal and interactive setting. They are ideal for discussing current work not yet ready for publication, for PhD thesis summaries and research project overviews. Accepted posters will also

[Haskell] 7th ECOOP Workshop on Formal Techniques for Java-like Programs
[ We apologize for multiple copies ] CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS FTfJP'2005 7th ECOOP Workshop on Formal Techniques for Java-like Programs http://www.cs.ru.nl/ftfjp/ Formal techniques can help analyze programs, precisely describe program behavior, and verify program properties. Newer languages such as Java and C# provide good platforms to bridge the gap between formal techniques and practical program development, because of their reasonably clear semantics and standardized libraries. Moreover, these languages are interesting targets for formal techniques, because the novel paradigm for program deployment introduced with Java, with its improved portability and mobility, opens up new possibilities for abuse and causes concern about security. Work on formal techniques and tools for programs and work on the formal underpinnings of programming languages themselves naturally complement each other. This workshop aims to bring together people working in both these fields, on topics such as: - specification techniques and interface specification languages - specification of software components and library packages - automated checking and verification of program properties, - verification logics, - language semantics, - type systems, - dynamic linking and loading, - security. Contributions (of up to 10 pages) are sought on open questions, new developments, or interesting new applications of formal techniques in the context of Java or similar languages. Contributions should not merely present completely finished work, but also raise challenging open problems or propose speculative new approaches. We particularly welcome contributions that simply suggest good topics for discussion at the workshop, or raise issues that you feel deserve the attention of the research community. Contributions will be formally reviewed, for originality, relevance, focus of the workshop, and the potential to generate interesting discussions. The workshop is intended for around 20 participants. The workshop will be organized into four or more sessions, each initiated by a presentation of few related position papers by the respective participants, or the introduction of a topic by a single speaker, and followed by discussions.

[Haskell] FLoC 2006 Preliminary Announcement
Preliminary Announcement --- FLoC'06 The 2006 Federated Logic Conference Seattle, Washington, USA August 10 -- August 22, 2006 http://research.microsoft.com/projects/FLoC2006/home.html http://research.microsoft.com/floc06/ In 1996, as part of its Special Year on Logic and Algorithms, DIMACS hosted the first Federated Logic Conference (FLoC). It was modeled after the successful Federated Computer Research Conference (FCRC), and synergetically brought together conferences that apply logic to computer science. The second Federated Logic Conference (FLoC'99) was held in Trento, Italy, in 1999, and the third (FLoC'02) was held in Copenhagen, Denmark, in 2002. We are pleased to announce the fourth Federated Logic Conference (FLoC'06) to be held in Seattle, Washington, in August 2006, at the Seattle Sheraton (http://www.sheraton.com/seattle). The following conferences will participate in FLoC. Int'l Conference on Computer-Aided Verification (CAV) Int'l Conference on Rewriting Techniques and Applications (RTA) IEEE Symposium on Logic in Computer Science (LICS) Int'l Conference on Logic Programming (ICLP) Int'l Conference on Theory and Applications of Satisfiability Testing (SAT) Int'l Joint Conference on Automated Reasoning (IJCAR) Pre-conference workshops will be held on August 10-11. LICS, RTA, and SAT will be held in parallel on August 12-15, to be followed by mid-conference workshops and excursions on August 15-16. CAV, ICLP, and IJCAR will be held in parallel on August 16-21, to be followed by post-conference workshops on August 21-22. Plenary events involving all the conferences are planned. Calls for papers and call for workshop proposals will be issued in the near future. For additional information regarding the participating meetings, please check the FLoC web page (see above) later this summer. FLoC'06 Steering Committee Moshe Y.

[Haskell] How to make Haskell more popular
1) If another language has a feature, add it to Haskell, so that absolutely everything can be done in more than one way. This allows people to write Haskell programmes without going through the tiresome process of learning Haskell.` 2) Overload the syntax so that the Hamming distance between syntactically valid programmes is very small 3) Allow casting of any type to any other. 2 and 3 together mean that the programmer wins the fight with the compiler more often, and can get on with the exciting business of debugging. 4) Add lots of libraries with widely different styles of interface lacking any recognisable algebraic properties. This makes it hard to learn the libraries, so the programmer gets increased satisfaction when the task is finally completed, and a programmer who understands a given library becomes more valuable in the market. 4a) write the libraries at a low level of abstraction, using as few sophisticated features as possible. This makes it easier for novice programmers to modify libraries and add *features* 5) Static type checking is for wimps. Move it all to runtime, so debugging is even more exciting. With 3, this allows us the glorious possibility of using the same value in different types with different meanings, mimicking PHP's wonderful strpos etc, where the return value zero indicates failure if it's a boolean or success if it's an integer. 6) Use strings for abbreviated syntax, so avoiding even syntax checking at compile time. 7) On second thoughts, all syntax checking is for wimps. Move the rest of it to runtime too. After all, /part/ of the programme might produce plausible output, and we wouldn't want to miss out on that. This adds the further exciting possiblity that end-users will get to see Haskell syntax errors, so more of the world will hear of Haskell. -- Jón Fairbairn Jon.Fairbairn at cl.cam.ac.uk ___ Haskell mailing list Haskell@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell

[Haskell] CfP FOCLASA'05 at CONCUR 2005: Foundations of Coordination Languages and Software Architectures
FOCLASA 2005 4th International Workshop on the Foundations of Coordination Languages and Software Architectures A Satellite Workshop of CONCUR 2005 August 27, 2005 San Francisco, Californa (USA) http://foclasa05.lcc.uma.es Abstract A number of hot research topics are currently sharing the common problem of combining concurrent, distributed, mobile and heterogenous components, trying to harness the intrinsic complexity of the resulting systems. These include coordination, peer-to-peer systems, grid computing, web-services, multi-agent systems, and component-based systems. Coordination languages and software architectures are recognised as fundamental approaches to tackle these issues, improving software productivity, enhancing maintainability, advocating modularity, promoting reusability, and leading to systems more tractable and more amenable to verification and global analysis. The goal of this workshop is to put together researchers and practitioners of the aforementioned fields, to share and identify common problems, and to devise general solutions in the contexts of coordination languages and software architectures. Topics of interest == Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): * Theoretical models (coordination, component composition, concurrency, semantics, expressiveness); * Specification, refinement, and analysis of software systems (architectures, patterns and styles, verification of functional and non-functional properties); * Languages for interaction, coordination, architectures, and interface definition (implementation, interoperability, heterogeneity); * Dynamic software architectures (mobile agents, self-organizing/adaptive/reconfigurable systems); * Tools and environments for the development of applications. In particular, practice, experience and methodologies from the following areas are solicited as well: - Web-services - Multi-agent systems - Peer-to-peer systems - Grid computing - Component-based systems Call for Papers === FOCLASA 2005 is a satellite workshop of the 16th International Conference on Concurrency Theory (CONCUR 2005). The workshop will be held at same location as CONCUR 2005 on August 27, 2005, one day after the main conference. The workshop tries to provide a venue where researchers and practitioners on the topics above can meet, exchange ideas and problems, identify some of the key and fundamental issues related to coordination languages and software architecture, and explore together and disseminate solutions. FOCLASA 2005 invites the submission of technical papers in any of the topics of interest and areas listed above. Submissions must describe authors original research work and their results. Description of work-in-progress is also encouraged. The contributions should not exceed 15 pages formatted according to the style of the Electronic Notes on Theoretical Computer Science (ENTCS), and should be emailed as PostScript (PS) or Portable Document Format (PDF) files to [EMAIL PROTECTED] All submissions will be reviewed by an international program committee that will select them for presentation in the workshop. Selected papers will be available through the workshop website, and a printed version of the proceedings will be distributed among participants during the workshop. The proceedings of the workshop will be published in Electronic Notes in Theoretical Computer Science (ENTCS). Participants will make a presentation of their papers (about twenty or twenty five minutes maximum), followed by a five to ten minutes round of questions and discussion on participants work. The workshop will also include a closing panel in which several issues related to the topics of the workshop and some issues raised during the workshop will be discussed. The Panel Chair (to determine) will invite the panelists and moderate the debate. The publication of a special issue on FOCLASA 2005 in an international scientific journal is also being prepared. Selected participants will be invited to submit an extended version of their papers after the workshop. These extended versions will be reviewed by an international program committee, which will decide on their final publication on the special issue. Previous editions of FOCLASA have been published on Fundamenta Informaticae and Science of Computer Programming.
