Announce: Haskell-related Linux RPMs

1999-02-18 Thread Sven Panne
I've uploaded source RPMs and Linux RPMs (glibc) of the following programs to our FTP server ftp://ftp.informatik.uni-muenchen.de/pub/local/pms : * Alex: Chris Dornan's scanner generator for Haskell * GHC: The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System (from CVS) * Green Card: A forei

Iteration possible? Or flexible parameters allow?

1999-02-18 Thread Steve Frampton
Hello: Suppose I have a function 'g' which either iteratively or recursively sums up results of calls to 'f'. I've predetermined that there will only ever be 20 things to sum up. I think the easiest solution would be iteration. However, I'm new to Haskell and it doesn't seem to have looping co

Q: Efficiency of Array Implementation

1999-02-18 Thread Jan Laitenberger
Hi, I recently noticed in a test program, that updating a table of fixed size (index and entries of type Int) was slower using an Array instead of our AVL implementation. Does anybody know which compiler option I must give on the command line that the Array is translated to a C array? I w

3.02 binary dist for Linux/glibc

1999-02-18 Thread Simon Marlow
Hi Folks, There's now a 3.02 dist for Linux/glibc available from the web page, or the Glasgow ftp site: ftp://ftp.dcs.gla.ac.uk/pub/haskell/glasgow/3.02/ghc-3.02-i386-unknown-linux glibc.tar.gz All our future Linux binary bundles are likely to be of the glibc variety, so if you haven't
