I tried all possible ways for setting it: (1) running ghci -interactive-print myPrint; (2) adding ':set -interactive-print myPrint' to ~/.ghci; (3) typing ':set -interactive- print myPrint' interactively. It works, but only before :load or :reload. After that,it's forgotten (standard print used again) and I have to type ':set -interactive-print myPrint' again. Is there a way to make this setting persistent, i. e. survive after :load or :reload? Thanks. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11159> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

This assert cannot possibly be right: the matcher and the pattern declaration are typechecked separately and there's no reason that the local binders should actually be the same. The equality test here should be done up to alpha-renaming. The other thing I found a bit puzzling was whether or not it mattered whether or not we used the local type variables from the matcher or the freshly bound ones. I suppose if we are consistent it shouldn't matter, so I don't think the code is buggy, just a bad ASSERT. BTW: this assert problem doesn't show up with `--make` because the assert occurs during typechecking of interface files, and with `--make` we don't need to typecheck an interface file. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10897> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

Apparently, it is handled in the respective file ({{{System/Posix/Unistd.hsc}}}), though it relies on the variable ({{{HAVE_FDATASYNC}}}) generated at the {{{configure}}} phase. But for some reason, the {{{configure}}} script of the {{{unix}}} package fails to detect this as it says the following: {{{ "inplace/bin/ghc-cabal" configure libraries/unix dist-install "" --with- ghc="/usr/home/ghc-builder/work/builder/tempbuild/build/inplace/bin/ghc- stage1" --with-ghc-pkg="/usr/home/ghc- builder/work/builder/tempbuild/build/inplace/bin/ghc-pkg" --disable- library-for-ghci --enable-library-vanilla --enable-library-profiling --enable-shared --with-hscolour="/usr/local/bin/HsColour" --configure- option=CFLAGS="-Wall -fno-stack-protector -Werror=unused-but-set- variable -Wno-error=inline" --configure-option=LDFLAGS=" " --configure- option=CPPFLAGS=" " --gcc-options="-Wall -fno-stack-protector -Werror =unused-but-set-variable -Wno-error=inline " --configure-option=--with- iconv-includes="/usr/local/include" --configure-option=--with-iconv- libraries="/usr/local/lib" --configure-option=--with-gmp- includes="/usr/local/include" --configure-option=--with-gmp- libraries="/usr/local/lib" --with-gcc="/usr/local/bin/gcc48" --with- ld="/usr/local/bin/ld" --configure-option=--with-cc="/usr/local/bin/gcc48" --with-ar="/usr/local/bin/ar" --with-alex="/usr/local/bin/alex" --with- happy="/usr/local/bin/happy" Configuring unix-2.7.1.0...

Unfortunately, the {{{configure}}} script does not instruct GCC to do any linking or be serious on such warnings, so it happily proceeds. For the reference, previously the {{{config.log}}} said something like that instead: {{{ configure:4230: checking for fdatasync configure:4230: /usr/local/bin/gcc48 -o conftest -Wall -fno-stack- protector -Werror=unused-but-set-variable -Wno-error=inline conftest.c >&5 /tmp//ccDCjZtO.o: In function `main': conftest.c:(.text+0xa): undefined reference to `fdatasync' collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status configure:4230: $? = 1 [...] }}} I am inclined to think that this is caused by the commit [https://github.com/haskell/unix/commit/b06446edd4753f964a46d27ddae864fad97a… b06446edd4753f964a46d27ddae864fad97adc13] for the {{{unix}}} package.
