Hello, feeding the (incorrect) program given below to ghc (version 5.02 or today's CVS version from ghc-5-02-branch ) results in Test.hs:8: Could not deduce (Integral (Ratio a)) from the context (Integral a) Probable fix: Add (Integral (Ratio a)) to the type signature(s) for f Or

Problem is (I think) that this is already correct on some platforms, but not all. There may be a missing scaling at some point upstream for some platforms. Precisely what ghc version is this and what platform are you running on? J | -Original Message- | From: Nicholas Nethercote [mai

Bug in RTS GC stats reporting?

2001-11-01 Thread Nicholas Nethercote
Hi, I think there's a bug in the reporting of GC stats. For example, when running the nofib program imaginary/x2n1, I get this output: 41,864,696 bytes allocated in the heap 1,688,656 bytes copied during GC 764,280 bytes maximum residency (2 sample(s)) 155 collections in generat

2001-11-01 Thread Leon Smith
I'm not sure this is a bug, or merely an undocumented feature. :-) Anyway, putStr in GHC has different buffer semantics than putStr in Hugs. For example: (GHCi 5.02) Prelude> putStr "What is your name? " >> getLine Leon What is your name? Prelude> putStr "What is your name? \n" >> getLine

RE: ghci 5.00 instance declaration error

2001-11-01 Thread Simon Peyton-Jones
You're right that the error message is confusing, but I think the program is indeed erroneous. The error arises from the defn of mzip in the instance decl, so it's entirely reasonable that it goes away if you don't give a defn (then GHC plugs in an error message instead). The defn of mzip is

2001-11-01 Thread Simon Peyton-Jones
OK, I've committed the fix to this. It's a long-standing bug that I can't think how I managed to put in in the first place, but it was tickled into life by the newtype with a forall inside it. You can check out a new compiler (head or branch) or wait for 5.02. Meanwhile, a workaround is to use
