Re: [Haskell-cafe] cap 3: stopping thread 3 (stackoverflow)

2011-06-07 Thread David Peixotto
GHC starts threads with a small stack size to efficiently support lightweight concurrency. As a thread uses more stack space, it will be expanded as needed up to some maximum fixed size. I think these stack overflow events you see are the runtime expanding the thread stacks. You can adjust

Hi Serge, You may be thinking of the Shake DSL presented by Neil Mitchell at last years Haskell Implementers Workshop. Slides and video are available from: http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/HaskellImplementorsWorkshop/2010 Max Bolingbroke has an open source implementation available here:

Re: [Haskell-cafe] DPH and GHC 7.0.1

2010-11-19 Thread David Peixotto
There were some problems getting DPH to work well with the changes in GHC 7. There is more info in this mail: http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/cvs-ghc/2010-November/057574.html The short summary is that there will be a patch level release of GHC (7.0.2) that works well with DPH and the DPH

[Haskell-cafe] ANNOUNCE: The Fibon benchmark suite (v0.2.0)

2010-11-09 Thread David Peixotto
I'm pleased to announce the release of the Fibon benchmark tools and suite. Fibon is a set of tools for running and analyzing benchmark programs in Haskell. Most importantly, it includes an optional set of benchmark programs including many programs taken from the Hackage open source repository.

Re: [Haskell-cafe] Will GHC 6.14 with LLVM use LLVM C compiler to compile external C Libraries

2010-09-09 Thread David Peixotto
I'm not sure using Clang would make it any *easier* to use external sources, but it could provide opportunities for optimizing across the C/Haskell boundary. The main difficulty in getting it all working correctly is the linking step. The Mac OSX linker can [link together llvm bitcode][1] for
