Re: -O/-O2 causes program to run too slow

Yes, it got faster when compiled with -fno-state-hack. It also got faster when I added a second (useless) reference to cf (changing the definition of doProbs to cf `seq` replicateM_ m doProb) Also, when profiling, the number of entries into findChain decreased significantly after adding -fno-stat

Just to check, when you say that “I found it was an instance of…” do you mean “I compiled with –fno-state-hack as the only change, and it got faster again”? Otherwise how would you know this was the cause? Simon From: ghc-devs [mailto:ghc-devs-boun...@haskell.org] On Behalf Of David Spies Sen

The image I created is designed to mount your source code into the image. You could certainly stick the source code in the image. do a make, and then distribute that docker image. The problem is now: how do you modify files with Emacs? Before it was easy: the source code is mounted from your file

Here's an update to our efforts to get a working build of text-icu on Windows 64 bits: I am working together with Kyra on this on the café list. It is becoming clear that GHC is unable to use standard DLLs on Windows 64 bits. That means FFI is really broken on that platform at the moment. By "una

2014-12-10 Thread Lennart Kolmodin
Hi everybody! TL;DL GHC 7.10 will have better bash completion, try it out! I'd like your help to verify the categorisation of DynFlags into ghc / ghci / shared or hidden flags. I've been working on improving the command line completion support in GHC 7.10. The main idea is that it should be more
