Hugs bug --- perhaps

I've mailed to hugs-bugs, but their mailing list appears to be acting up. Really this is a Hugs/GHC difference with the Word library. In GHC Word64 is an instance of Num, in Hugs (as of Hugs-98) it is not. - Byron

hi, as far as I can tell "freezeSTArray" doesn't appear in the modules LazyST/ST. it appears in the documentation (http://www.dcs.gla.ac.uk/fp/software/ghc/2.09/users_guide/user_102.html#SEC102) and also in Hug's LazyST/ST modules cheers, :-) byron

that would be fine but the word "might" makes me nervous. Lazy State is really really handy. I can send you some examples if your curious So if both ghc and hugs provided another monad LazyST in a module LazyST then that would be quite cool. cheers byron On Thu, 31 Jul 1997, Alastair

? There is also a compatability issue with Hugs. I know of at least 5 people here at OGI who developed programs in Hugs and were then confused when their programs kept asking for more stack space in GHC. :-) byron On Wed, 30 Jul 1997, Sigbjorn Finne wrote: Byron Cook writes: I've kept quiet up

I've kept quiet up until now but GHC burned me again today, and I need to share my frustration GHC's ST monad is strict in the state --- and that's just wrong. This is Haskell after all. The default should be lazy state with strict versions of binds and return Perhaps there should be
