[GHC] #8012: Warn when using Enum instance for Float or Double

#8012: Warn when using Enum instance for Float or Double -----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- Reporter: gidyn | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Component: Compiler Version: 7.6.3 | Keywords: Os: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Failure: None/Unknown | Blockedby: Blocking: | Related: -----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- The Enum instances for Float and Double have dubious semantics which cause endless confusion, e.g. [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13203471/the-math- behind-1-0999999999999999-in-haskell], [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9810002/floating-point-list- generator], [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7290438/haskell-ranges-and-floats] [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10328435/how-to-solve-floating-point- number-getting-wrong-in-list-haskell], and many more. It is therefore proposed that the usage of an Enum instance for Float or Double generate a compiler warning, such as "The Enum instance for Float is subject to rounding errors". A discussion of this on [http://haskell.1045720.n5.nabble.com/Proposal- Warn-when-using-Enum-instance-of-Float-or-Double-td5731620.html the libraries list] suggested that such a warning would be desired, although the discussion mostly focused on whether the libraries list is an appropriate place for this discussion. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8012> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

[GHC] #8010: Add forkOSUnmasked (patch)

#8010: Add forkOSUnmasked (patch) -----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- Reporter: joeyadams | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Component: libraries/base Version: 7.7 | Keywords: Os: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Failure: None/Unknown | Blockedby: Blocking: | Related: -----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- This patch simply adds `forkOSUnmasked` to Control.Concurrent: {{{ -- | Like 'forkIOWithUnmask', but the child thread is a bound thread, -- as with 'forkOS'. forkOSWithUnmask :: ((forall a . IO a -> IO a) -> IO ()) -> IO ThreadId forkOSWithUnmask io = forkOS (io unsafeUnmask) }}} I ran `sh validate`, and no new failures were introduced. I'll push it to master in a few days, unless someone objects. For GHC < 7.8, `forkOSWithUnmask` can be achieved using `forkOS` and [http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/base/4.6.0.1/doc/html /Control-Exception.html#v:block block], but `block` is removed in GHC 7.8. `unsafeUnmask` can still be imported from `GHC.IO`, however. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8010> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

[GHC] #7961: Remove restrictions on promoting GADT's

#7961: Remove restrictions on promoting GADT's -----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- Reporter: danharaj | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Component: Compiler Version: 7.6.3 | Keywords: Os: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Failure: None/Unknown | Blockedby: Blocking: | Related: #6204 -----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- (Also allow the promotion of data types whose kind is not (* -> ... -> *)) I have been using -XDataKinds lately to explore the sorts of dependently typed programming that are currently possible in GHC. I am particularly interested in DSL's and embedding other languages' type systems into Haskell so that GHC can help verify the correctness of the program fragments I construct for those languages. From my point of view as an end-user, the restrictions on what data get promoted is inconsistent and oftentimes annoying to deal with. There are two related issues on my end: 1. The restriction that a data type cannot have a kind mentioning a promoted kind means that the way I stratify my type machinery impacts whether or not GHC will promote everything as I would like. 2. The inability to use promoted GADT's forces me to encode relationships between my type building blocks in trickier ways, and sometimes I am simply unable to come up with an alternative. I have found that these issues get in my way as a programmer of modest skill. Oftentimes I will explore a particular design but be forced to abandon it because my "natural" line of reasoning runs into GHC's restrictions. With sufficient cleverness you can do quite a lot of impressive stuff with the current system, but I am often not sufficiently clever nor am I equipped to determine when something is outright ''impossible''. Lifting these restriction, from ''my'' point of view, would simplify the machinery a great deal and allow me to do type-level programming that is currently out of my reach. It would make the kind extensions more uniform and more complete to us end-users. #6204 would complete them in another way. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7961> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

[GHC] #8002: Type family causing GHC to hang on recompilation

#8002: Type family causing GHC to hang on recompilation -----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- Reporter: jweijers | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Component: Compiler Version: 7.6.3 | Keywords: Os: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Failure: None/Unknown | Blockedby: Blocking: | Related: -----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- I am having a problem with (re)compiling some code I have. I have two modules A and B. In A I have some classes and instances and B uses this. When I try to compile B (with cabal or ghc --make) the first time everything works. When I now modify B (add a space) B is recompiled but the compiler hangs and doesn't seems to be doing anything. I have tested the problem with GHC (x86_64) 7.6.2. 7.6.3 and HEAD (build on 20/06/2013). It seems to be very similar to a problem I had earlier: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7321 but this time there are no GADTs involved. The code of module A (clutter that doesn't contribute to the problem has been removed): {{{ > {-# LANGUAGE FlexibleInstances, UndecidableInstances #-} > {-# LANGUAGE GADTs #-} > {-# LANGUAGE MultiParamTypeClasses #-} > {-# LANGUAGE TypeFamilies, TypeOperators, ScopedTypeVariables #-} > {-# LANGUAGE FlexibleContexts #-} > {-# LANGUAGE DataKinds, PolyKinds #-} > > module A where > > import GHC.Generics > > class QA a where > type QRep a > type QRep a = QRep (GRep (Rep a)) > > instance QA () where > type QRep () = () > > -- Kind-polymorphic proxies; > data Pr (a :: k) = Pr > > class (QA (GRep f)) => CaseOf (f :: * -> *) where > type Alg f r k :: * > type GRep f :: * > > -- Only used for the product structure > class QA (ProdRep f) => CaseOfProd (f :: * -> *) where > type ProdAlg f r :: * > type ProdRep f :: * }}} The code of module B: {{{ > module B where > import qualified A }}} Given that the code type checks (and if I do not recompile and make an executable directly it actually works) I think this is a bug that might be similar to the bug mentioned in ticket 7321. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8002> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
