Hello Sylvain, I am not familiar with stack at all, maybe I'll try it if I have no more solutions. Thank you. Best, July

How to change base version easily?
by Treee July 29 May '20

29 May '20

Hello, I installed the latest version of ghc, which caused one of my packages does not satisfy the constraint of the version. I just wondering if there exists a convenient way to degrade the version of the base. I use Arch Linux, which is not easy to install an elder version. Thanks, July

data type
by Alexander Chen 29 May '20

import Data.Time data DatabaseItem = DbString String | DbNumber Integer | DbDate UTCTime deriving (Eq, Ord, Show) theDatabase :: [DatabaseItem] theDatabase = [ DbDate (UTCTime (fromGregorian 1911 5 1) (secondsToDiffTime 34250)) , DbNumber 9001 , DbString "Hello, world!" , DbDate (UTCTime (fromGregorian 1921 5 1) (secondsToDiffTime 34123)) ] My question: I want to get the UTCTime. So, thisFunction :: [DatabaseItem] -> [UTCTime] I don't need the answer but more the intuition (a link to a youtube etc. is also possible) how to handle these types of situations. Because i keep trying to think in terms of key:values (Python,Julia) which doesn't seem the right paradigm to approach this. thanks in advance! best,

Foldl
by Alexander Chen 29 May '20

29 May '20

Hi, I guess it's time to get acquainted with foldr and foldl. prelude>xs = [1..5] ++ undefined prelude> foldr const 0 xs 1 I assume it goes something like this: ( 1 `const`(2 `const`(3 `const`(4 `const`(5 `const`(undefined `const` 0)))))) ( 5 `const` undefined) (4 `const` 5) (3 `const` 4) ( 2 `const` 3) (1 `const`2) = 1 ======================================================================== What i don't get is the opposite: prelude> foldl const 0 xs error in my mind this should go like this: ((((((0`const`1)`const` 2) `const` 3 )`const` 4)`const` 5) `const` undefined) (0 `const`2) (0`const` 3) ( 0`const`4) (0`const` 5) (0 `const` undefined ) = 0 I have been told that the main difference between foldl and foldr is that foldl needs to evaluate the whole spline before it continues. And i guess that has something to do with it. What I don't understand is WHY foldl need to do this and foldr doesn't. thanks in advance! best,

Re: [Haskell-beginners] Linking C++ in Cabal

Hi, So I tried it out, and there're a couple of things: - Declaring a function as `static` will hide it from anything other than the current translation unit, AFAIK, which means that you won't be able to link it to anything else; the symbol won't be visible (you can verify using `objdump`). - For C++ functions, you need to suppress name-mangling since Haskell's FFI doesn't know about that. With your repo as is, the symbol corresponding to the `multiply` function is not...`multiply`: ``` dist-newstyle/build/x86_64-linux/ghc-8.6.5/HaskellForeignCPP-0.0.1/build/cpp-src/some.o: file format elf64-x86-64 SYMBOL TABLE: 0000000000000000 l df *ABS* 0000000000000000 some.cpp 0000000000000000 l d .text 0000000000000000 .text 0000000000000000 l d .data 0000000000000000 .data 0000000000000000 l d .bss 0000000000000000 .bss 0000000000000000 l d .note.GNU-stack 0000000000000000 .note.GNU-stack 0000000000000000 l d .eh_frame 0000000000000000 .eh_frame 0000000000000000 l d .comment 0000000000000000 .comment 0000000000000000 g F .text 0000000000000006 _Z8multiplyii ``` so you just need to wrap every exposed function in `extern "C"` blocks, like it's explained here: https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/extern-c-in-c/. With `extern "C"` and removing `static`: ``` dist-newstyle/build/x86_64-linux/ghc-8.6.5/HaskellForeignCPP-0.0.1/build/cpp-src/some.o: file format elf64-x86-64 SYMBOL TABLE: 0000000000000000 l df *ABS* 0000000000000000 some.cpp 0000000000000000 l d .text 0000000000000000 .text 0000000000000000 l d .data 0000000000000000 .data 0000000000000000 l d .bss 0000000000000000 .bss 0000000000000000 l d .note.GNU-stack 0000000000000000 .note.GNU-stack 0000000000000000 l d .eh_frame 0000000000000000 .eh_frame 0000000000000000 l d .comment 0000000000000000 .comment 0000000000000000 g F .text 0000000000000006 multiply ``` ...and everything builds fine.

Linking C++ in Cabal

Hello, I want to use a foreign C++ Function in a Haskell Library, and the Library in a Haskell Program. The C++ function is separate in a file and I have a header file. I made a minimal reproducing repository. The closes I have found is this repository which wraps the c++ in c and makes a full library, needing a makefile etc. So while I think I'd get it working like that, it looks to be quite a lot to do for my simple task. the repository structure looks as follows: Projekt - cpp-src - some.cpp - some.h - lib-src - CPPLib.hs - program-src - program.hs - project.cabal And my (currently failing) project.cabal the following: cabal-version: 3.0 name: cpp_lib [...] library exposed-modules: CPPLib other-extensions: ForeignFunctionInterface build-depends: base hs-source-dirs: lib-src default-language: Haskell2010 include-dirs: ./cpp-src cxx-sources: ./cpp-src/some.cpp install-includes: ./cpp-src/some.h executable CPPApp main-is: program.hs default-language: Haskell2010 build-depends: HaskellForeignCPP, base hs-source-dirs: program-src The some.cpp is trivial for this case lets assume its a function multiply :: Int -> Int -> Int, and both .cpp and .h are well-formed and don't have further dependencies. The library compiles fine, but when building the executable it fails telling me collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status `gcc' failed in phase `Linker'. (Exit code: 1) Can someone help me out? I find very little documentation on this topic. I know there is Inline-CPP which would help as well, but I just very much like the idea of having a nice separate file and interface for modularity. best Leonhard
