This is known behaviour of gcc. It doesn't just happen with Haskell programs. Could you explain. Just that gcc -O2 (and higher) isn't guaranteed to produce better code than gcc -O. I've seen it reported several times, but I couldn't give you any concrete examples I'm afraid. I know

Keith Wansbrough: I've just added a new RTS option to GHC in the CVS repository. Running a program compiled with -prof with the -xc runtime option on will cause it to display the current cost-centre stack on stderr whenever an exception is raised. This will give you an idea of which

Hi all. Just started playing around with ccall, and while I managed to get my toy program to Do The Right Thing, I got a mildly alarming looking warning message from gcc, re: athe lack of an explicit type for the generated C call. I don't see anything about this in the users guide, either

Andreas C. Doering: not only the collection of algorithms is important but also the data base of algebraic objects. For instance the group theoretic package Magma (formerly Caley) comes with as much information on finite groups as the the libraries of algorithms. This data base represents

How to use an state reader monad?

Rob MacAulay a propos of the visual/dataflow programming: Visual programming sounds nice, but in practice it is of limited use. If you have a smallish number of modules to link together, you could do this as easily by hand-coding. If you have a larger number of modules, you probably ought

Hi, I finally managed to install hbc 0.9*.4 and 0.9*5 in my Debian box. They both work but when I compile some small test program as a "hello world" one, I get a 1Mb large program. So I wondered if I am missing any options or I did anything wrong when installing (I chose "dynamically" linked
