Re: [Haskell-cafe] Data.Dynamic over the wire
Hello Jules, Tuesday, May 13, 2008, 9:39:12 PM, you wrote: This is close, and works as far as it goes. It is a limited reimplementation of Dynamic which uses show/read instead of there are gread/gshow funcs. don't know how these works, though :) -- Best regards, Bulatmailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe

If not, Dynamic is limited to the context of within a single program, and can't be used over the network between cooperating programs, or in file formats, etc. I've never used hs-plugins, but if I recall properly, it includes its own implementation of TypeRep (and consequently Dynamic) in order to overcome the serialization problem you have mentioned. ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
Re: [Haskell-cafe] Data.Dynamic over the wire
I use a trick like this to allow saving of dynamics into ho files for jhc, the same thing will work for network connections. see Info.Info for the data type, and Info.Binary for the binary serialization routines. http://repetae.net/dw/darcsweb.cgi?r=jhc;a=tree;f=/Info John -- John Meacham - ⑆repetae.net⑆john⑈ ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
