Hello, I'm still chasing down a memory leak in my server application written in Haskell using GHC 6.4.x under MinGW/MSYS. In the scenario described below, I am repeating the same server request once per second continuously. After utilizing some memory monitoring tools I've discovered that me

Would a new and expanded Regex package (Test.Regex.Lazy) be something that could be included in the 6.6.0 libraries? What is the best practice for getting it included? It still supports a wrapped Posix regex backend, but also include a PCRE wrapper and pure haskell backends and work efficient

By "this code is currently broken", I'm sure you are right, but which code you mean exactly? The Win32 binding for GHC? Or the Hugs Graphics Library (HGL) implementation for GHC? It'd be good to have a Trac bug report, specifying as precisely as possible what is broken. Simon | -Original

6.6 plans and status

2006-08-07 Thread Simon Marlow
Hi folks, The Hackathon, ICFP and Haskell Workshop are fast approaching, and we promised to have 6.6 out before then. This means we're on a pretty tight schedule, and some corners will have to be cut in order to get there. But that may not be a bad thing - without hard deadlines the release

GHC 6.4.3 on FreeBSD

2006-08-07 Thread Simon Marlow
An update on the GHC/FreeBSD front: I didn't manage to reproduce the reported threading bugs on a UP, will be trying on a MP shortly. However, I did discover one odd case that libpthread doesn't appear to handle properly, but libthr does. This arose from a test in GHC's test suite, but I've tra

Graphics library very slow

The latest stable release seems to have some sort of a problem with the graphics library (the general one as well as the wrapper used in SOE). Opening a window takes more than a couple of minutes (on Windows XP). When I run an identical version of the code through Hugs, the window opens immediatel

RE: default declarations

2006-08-07 Thread Simon Peyton-Jones
It's arguably a bug in ghci -- but it's not quite clear what the "right" answer is. Suppose you are in the top level scope of two modules with differing default declarations. So GHCi uses the "default default" for the top level, always. Simon | -Original Message- | From: [EMAIL PROTEC
