using the GHC parser and renamer
by Kate S. Golder 24 Jan '01

24 Jan '01

Hi - We are trying to use the GHC parser and renamer within a program that we are writing (a program to take a Haskell program written in multiple modules, and return a program that is a single module) and. We were wondering if you can think of something that we might be missing. It compiles fine (when we execute "make all" at the command line), but when we run the executable it gets through the parser fine, and creates the uniqueSupply for the renamer, but it doesn't get through the renamer, we get an errors that say (Main.hs is the file that is being parsed and renamed): Main.hs:1: Could not find interface file for 'Prelude' in the directories ./*.hi Main.hs:3: Bad interface file:: ./ParseAndRenameFile.hi ./ParseAndRenameFile.hi:1 Interface file version error; Expected 0 found version 408 Fail: Compilation had errors We assume that these are because the renamer needs to look at .hi files, and that it either can't find them (Prelude.hi) or it has the wrong version number (ParseAndRenameFile.hi). How do we tell the renamer where to look for the interface files, and fix the version error? I've included the three files (Makefile, Main.hs, and ParseAndRenameFile.hs) at the bottom of this email.

4.08.2
by George Russell 23 Jan '01

23 Jan '01

Any idea yet when 4.08.2 is going to be released? The bugs I reported some time ago are now getting to be a serious nuisance. I've tried compiling the 4.08 branch from source, but thanks to some as-yet-unclarified infelicity in gcc or ghc, I get a segmentation fault from the resulting hsc.

Do *you* understand GHC?

Neither do I, but I am pretending to: http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~chak/haskell/ghc/comm/ This is a - so far, very small - set of notes on GHC internals to assist my weak memory. Maybe it is also useful for others. Cheers, Manuel

No way to do either at the moment. These would be nice things to have though. Cheers, Simon

If you're doing an unregisterised bootstrap, there shouldn't be any problem with assembly mangling since you're just using the OS's native C compiler (preferably gcc). Although we do have one or two bits of inline assembly which might be upsetting things: ASSIGN_DBL and PK_DBL in ghc/includes/StgMacros.h spring to mind. The PPC folks, particularly Atze Dijkstra <atze(a)cs.uu.nl> who did the recent MacOS X port, have gone through the whole unregisterised bootstrap process recently so they should be able to help. Guys? Cheers, Simon

I was about to apply GHood to your program to see whether such a tool could help to find the problem, so I started to cut down your code. However, in the simplified version of the program, one can see what is going on without any graphical tool.. (nevertheless, observation of the simplified code with GHood confirms your suspicion immediately, and it points out the spine of the list as the problem, too, so the tool is useful!-) (*) In effect, your anonymize comes down to a "mapM" over a list of actions applied to input lines, and all of the resulting IO-actions are placed before the single "hPutStr". So, even if the results of the individual actions in the list may not be needed until later, the whole spine of the list of lines has to be traversed before "hPutStr" can be executed, meaning that all input is read before any output is produced (and thus before any computation results are requested, blowing up memory usage). For the problem at hand, you could simply output each line as it is processed instead of just returning it into a list for later use (see variant _1 below). If you would want to keep both the modular program structure and the explicit line-by-line IO-style, you would need to interleave the input and output commands somehow (perhaps similar to variant _2 below?). Hth, Claus (*) Please note that our web-server is being upgraded today.. (web-pages and GHood download will not be available until tomorrow, hence no URL here :-( PS The simplified code (+ variations) with observations: module Main(main) where import Observe import IO(openFile, hPutStr, IOMode(ReadMode,WriteMode,AppendMode)) filename = "ldif1.txt" fileout = "ldif.out" readAndWriteAttrVals = do h <- openFile fileout WriteMode s <- readFile filename let action l = return (':':l) a <- mapM action (observe "input" (lines s)) hPutStr h (unlines (observe "output" a)) main = runO readAndWriteAttrVals readAndWriteAttrVals_1 = do h <- openFile fileout WriteMode s <- readFile filename let action_and_output l = hPutStr h (':':l) mapM_ (observe "output" action_and_output) (observe "input" (lines s)) main_1 = runO readAndWriteAttrVals_1 readAndWriteAttrVals_2 = do h <- openFile fileout WriteMode s <- readFile filename let { action l = return (':':l) ; as = map action (observe "input" (lines s)) ; os = repeat (hPutStr h) } mapM id (observe "output" (zipWith (>>=) as os)) main_2 = runO readAndWriteAttrVals_2

Too Strict?
by Steinitz, Dominic J 15 Jan '01

Can someone help? The program below works fine with small files but when I try to use it on the one I need to (about 3 million lines of data) it produces no output. The hard disk is hammered - I assume this is the run time system paging. My suspicion is that the program is trying to read in the whole file before processing it. Is this correct? If so, how do I make the program lazy so that it processes a line at time? By the way, the MD5 function which I use and is included as part of HSLIBS has the type String -> IO String. The MD5 algorithm really is a function and should have type String -> String. Do people agree and if so how do I get it changed? Dominic. -- Compile with ghc -o test test.hs -static -package util -- under Windows. module Main(main) where import IO(openFile, hPutStr, IOMode(ReadMode,WriteMode,AppendMode)) import MD5 import Char -- showHex and showHex' convert the hashed values to -- human-readable hexadecimal strings. showHex :: Integer -> String showHex = map hexDigit . map (fromInteger . (\x -> mod x 16)) . takeWhile (/=0) . iterate (\x -> div x 16) . toInteger hexDigit x | (0 <= x) && (x <= 9) = chr(ord '0' + x) | (10 <= x) && (x <=16) = chr(ord 'a' + (x-10)) | otherwise = error "Outside hexadecimal range" powersOf256 = 1 : map (*256) powersOf256 showHex' x = showHex $ sum (zipWith (*) (map ((\x -> (mod x 16)*16 + (div x 16)) . toInteger . ord) x) powersOf256) -- The type Anon and function anonymize hide the anonymisation -- process. In this case, it's a hash function -- digest :: String -> IO String which implements MD5. type Anon a = IO a class Anonymizable a where anonymize :: a -> Anon a -- MyString avoids overlapping instances of Strings -- with the [Char] data MyString = MyString String deriving Show instance Anonymizable MyString where anonymize (MyString x) = do s <- digest x return ((MyString . showHex') s) instance Anonymizable a => Anonymizable [a] where anonymize xs = mapM anonymize xs filename = "ldif1.txt" fileout = "ldif.out" readAndWriteAttrVals = do h <- openFile fileout WriteMode s <- readFile filename a <- anonymize((map MyString) (lines s)) hPutStr h (unlines (map (\(MyString x) -> x) a)) main = readAndWriteAttrVals ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 21st century air travel http://www.britishairways.com

[THRILLSEEKERS] GHC head bursts into action on Windows!
by Reuben Thomas 05 Jan '01

05 Jan '01

Those Windows users of GHC who like to live on the bleeding edge may like to know that the CVS head version of GHC is now alive and kicking on Windows. Both text and Windowing "hello, world" programs work fine (and probably much other stuff, since the basic code generation for Intel is quite well tested now). I'm particularly keen to get bug reports for the Windows version of GHC (and in particular for the Win32 API if anyone's using it), since we don't do much testing of that sort of thing. -- http://sc3d.org/rrt/ | free, a. already paid for (Peyton Jones)
