problem of basic semantics and bindings
by vannex b. consad 01 May '01

01 May '01

i have a problem, pls. can u provide me with the answers of these things.. thank you very much... a. Assume the language Pascal, C, or Modula-2. Give as precise bindings times as you can for the following attributes, and give reasons for your answers: 1. the number of significant digits of a real number. 2. the meaning of char. 3. the size of array variable. 4. the size of an array parameter. 5. the location of a local variable. 6. the value of a constant. 7. the location of a function. b. Discuss the meaning of the following statement, early binding promotes security and efficiency, while late binding promotes flexibility and expressivenes.. c. Compare the advantages and disadvantages of Pascal's declaration before use rule with Modula-2's rule that extends the scope of a declaration to the entire block, regardless of its position in the block. d. Describe the bindings performed by a Pascal Forward declaration. why is such a declaration necessary? e. Describe the bindings performed by a C extern declaration. Why is such a declaration necessary? vannex:) Join 18 million Eudora users by signing up for a free Eudora Web-Mail account at http://www.eudoramail.com

reid 2001/04/20 17:18:30 PDT Modified files: lib/exts ConcBase.hs Log: 2nd (and last) commit in this series. Added new MVar operations: tryTakeMVar and tryPutMVar. These have not been tested very thoroughly. We need one other change to make Hugs fully compatible with GHC: GHC recently(?) changed the behaviour of putMVar on a full variable. This used to raise an exception but now it's supposed to block. This is going to take a little pondering. At the moment, an MVar is: newtype MVar a = MkMVar (IORef (Either a [a -> IOResult])) That is, it's either full or it's a (possibly empty) queue of blocked threads. To accomodate the new semantics, it should change to something like: newtype MVar a = MkMVar (IORef (Either (a, [(a,IOResult)]) [a -> IOResult])) where Left (x, ts) represents a full mvar with a (possibly empty) list ts of blocked putters (and the values they want to put). Right ts represents an empty mvar with a (possibly empty) list ts which want to receive a value. Then we have to make putMVar block - with luck the mechanism used to block in takeMVar will work. And then we have to ponder the question of fairness: My original MVar implementation made no attempt to unblock threads in the same order as they had blocked. In fact, they could be unblocked in exactly the opposite order from the order in which they had blocked. At the time, I argued that this was the correct behaviour since it was so manifestly unfair that no-one was going to be fooled into believing that Hugs' "scheduler" was fair. I felt this was a good idea because it just wasn't possible to achieve fairness with a non-preemptive implementation and I'd rather have my code always fail than occasionally fail. But the moment my back was turned (:-)), the OGI folks made MVars fairer. I imagine they much have had a reason to do this ... Maybe I should preserve this fairness in the interest of not breaking anything. [Incidentally, a recent bug report on the ghc list suggests that ghc's MVars aren't fair either. This code: forkIO (mapM_ putChar as) >> forkIO (mapM_ putChar bs) where as = 'a':as; bs = 'b':bs will output either all as or all bs. It seems that 'mapM putChar as' spends almost all its time inside a mutex (protecting the stdout object) and that when 'mapM putChar bs' tries to acquire the same lock, it always fails. The GHC folk are considering changing putMVar (I think) to consider preempting if there were any threads blocked on the mvar. ] Revision Changes Path 1.6 +42 -1 hugs98/lib/exts/ConcBase.hs

cvs commit: hugs98/lib/exts Exception.hs
by Alastair Reid 20 Apr '01

20 Apr '01

reid 2001/04/20 16:42:56 PDT Modified files: lib/exts Exception.hs Log: This is one of two commits aimed at reducing the gap between Hugs-supplied libraries and their GHC counterparts. The ultimate goal is to make the fptools/hslibs libraries work with Hugs. Progress towards this goal: all hslib libraries work (== are loaded without error by Hugs) except those which use casm/ccall (net and posix) and the ffi-related hslib/lang libraries which are usually wafer-thin layers over the ghc Prelude code. (Commits to hslib have not yet been done - waiting for the hslib folk to give me the nod.) This particular commit brings Hugs into line with the very recent (and very welcome) changes to the Exception API and includes dummy (nullop) implementations of block and unblock whose use pervades the hslib libraries.

Beats me why this was deleted from the OGI release. What were they thinking? To run tests: cd hugs98/src/unix ./configure cd .. make hugs cd ../tests sh ./testScript static tcheck rts libs demos Once you get bored of seeing all the successful tests (yahoo!), you can use this to restrict output to the failures: sh ./testScript static tcheck rts libs demos | grep -v '^--' [If I remember correctly, configuring with readline doesn't work. Also note that you have to rerun configure to build tests/testScript.] About the test harness ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The test harness is very portable. It even runs on Windows though you have to install perl and cygwin to be able to run the tests. The core of the test harness is the program runstdtest - a hacked up version of a similar script from the GHC distro. This runs Hugs over some input and compares the output against a file containing the "correct" output. Hugs generates a bunch of noise (banners, list of modules being loaded, etc.) before generating the interesting part of the output so we tell runstdtest to ignore the first N lines of output using the -s<N> flag. If you change the length of the banner or the module structure you will have to change all these -s flags (this is a bit tedious - better solutions welcome). About the test suite ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The testsuite itself is a little out of date. There was a time when it checked every single error in static.c but this is probably not true now. In particular, there are no tests which check the +98 errors. I have updated the sample output files to match current output except in cases where it wasn't clear if the current output was an error or intended behaviour. Here's a list of the potential errors that may need to be fixed. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Hugs used to detect an error in static/mod39.hs and no longer does. I don't know if this is kosher. ./../src/hugs +q -pHugs: static/mod39.hs < /dev/null expected stdout not matched by reality *** static/mod39.output Fri Apr 6 18:05:40 2001 --- /tmp/runtest14605.3 Sat Apr 7 12:18:34 2001 *************** *** 1,2 **** !

I'm a little surprised by the change in the error message. It doesn't look like unresolved top-level overloading to me.

reid 2001/04/07 11:36:33 PDT Modified files: lib/exts Word.hs Log: The enum instance for Word32 suffered from numeric overflow. That is, these expressions: [maxBound .. ] :: [Word32] [maxBound .. maxBound] :: [Word32] should both have length 1 but the length seemed to be closer to 2^32 (I got bored before it got that far though). I'm not completely happy with my fix (it's a little clunky) but at least it works now. (If I was a good Haggis, I'd go look at how GHC, NHC and HBC handle this.) The Int instance suffers from the same problem but, in that case, the correct behaviour (at least for the first example) is probably to raise an error or to give an infinite list (which it does) not to give a finite list.

reid 2001/04/07 11:28:44 PDT Modified files: src static.c Log: Whilst reviving the old test suite, I found some error messages whose first word wasn't capitalised. This fixes this inconsistency. (There may be others - didn't look elsewhere.) Revision Changes Path 1.34 +7 -7 hugs98/src/static.c

The alternative is to export toObj/fromObj (unsafe coercions) from Prelude - not attractive. Revision Changes Path 1.9 +7 -1 hugs98/lib/Prelude.hs 1.5 +0 -6 hugs98/lib/exts/ConcBase.hs

reid 2001/04/03 12:29:27 PDT Modified files: lib Prelude.hs lib/exts ConcBase.hs Log: When a thread blocks on an MVar, we have to take the complete state of the thread and store it in the MVar. This used to be easy because the state was all in the success continuation but exception handlers live on the stack so we have to unwind the stack making a list of all the exception handlers and store that list of exception handlers into the MVar too. This is done by returning a Hugs_BlockThread object. When catch sees one of these, it adds a Hugs_Catch into the object and returns Hugs_BlockThread again. Eventually, this gets up to the top thread loop which, finally, does the write into the MVar. Trivial changes: o Improved error messages if a forked thread ends in error or exception o Replaced the word "process" with "thread" in comments. "process" implies some measure of isolation (namespace, heap, file descriptors, etc.) whereas "thread" just impliues a separate thread of control. These are _not_ processes! [Hey, I work on operating systems these days - they're fussy about these definitions.] Revision Changes Path 1.8 +8 -3 hugs98/lib/Prelude.hs 1.4 +10 -10 hugs98/lib/exts/ConcBase.hs

reid 2001/04/02 19:56:36 PDT Modified files: src parser.y Log: Applied Sigbjorn's bugfix for the parser. (Without this fix, you can't load lib/exts/Int.hs. I guess it should be added to the mythical test suite. Which reminds me... what happened to the test suite? We used to have one. I think it was in hugs/src/tests. A (admittedly superficial) search failed to reveal it.) Revision Changes Path 1.16 +11 -6 hugs98/src/parser.y
