Re: GHC status report

To elaborate, in the past, I had a lot of problems using libraries from the ghci prompt on the Mac but I haven't tried recently. As an example, on the web pagefor the book the Haskell School of Expression it says: Note for OS X users: running

Re: Removing -fext-core

For people keeping score, I created a branch with this already done the other day: https://github.com/ghc/ghc/tree/wip/kill-extcore Again, unless someone speaks up *real* soon, I'm probably going to get rid of it before the end of the week - so your timeframe is something like 72 hours to make a

Branch cleanup coming soon - please take inventory

Hello all, I was talking about this on IRC the other day, and it reminded me I wanted to do this a while back. At the moment, we have a *lot* of branches hanging out in the GHC tree: $ git branch -r | grep origin | wc -l 89 $ So I'd like to start deleting all the old ones that are merged and do

Done now. OK, unless anyone has anything else major going in, I'll look for typos closely and send it to Mihail later today. It filled up pretty fast - thanks for the haste everyone! On Tue, Apr 29, 2014 at 7:46 PM, Austin Seipp wrote: > Good idea! Definitely one of the biggest changes. > > On

Overloaded record fields: we ought to change the name of FldTy

Hi, I'm currently watching the Skills Matter talks you gave (great!) and I'm slightly worried that we're going to expose beginners (and intermediate users!) to a name called FldTy, which might be OK for a GHC-internal name, but is not very readable. If this is going to be exposed to users, could
