Posix.createPipe failing
by Hal Daume III 13 Apr '03

13 Apr '03

After running a few hundred createPipe's, they begin to fail for me, giving the error: Fail: system error Action: createPipe This seems to me to be like the "not enough file handles" error you get when using lazy readFile, since this doesn't close the handle soon enough. Am I correct in this intuition and if I am (or otherwise), how do I fix it? Thanks! - Hal -- Hal Daume III | hdaume(a)isi.edu "Arrest this man, he talks in maths." | www.isi.edu/~hdaume

Re: Help Creating Libraries

I've tried building the libraries tree but got the following. Can anyone help? I'm not sure what name to give the proposed crypto library. Should it be Data.Crypto?

Setting "-package-conf" via environment variable?
by Peter Simons 12 Apr '03

12 Apr '03

Hi, is there any way to provide GHC with a value for "-package-conf" via an environment variable? I'd like to tell it to use a local package config file in addition to it's own, but I'd like GHC to find that "automatically". The users of the installation system should not have to know about this. Any help is appreciated. Peter

GHC running on powerpc-unknown-linux!
by Sven Moritz Hallberg 11 Apr '03

11 Apr '03

Greetings! Finally, I have the honor to report my success in bootstrapping an unregisterised incarnation of the Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System version 5.04.3 on my PowerBook G4 running Gentoo Linux! Unfortunately I have not been able to bring to life the dynamic linker due to relocation troubles... Anyone familiar with ELF relocations on PowerPC Linux (i.e. as described in the System V ABI PowerPC Supplement) feel free to have a look at do_Elf_Rela_relocations() in ghc/rts/Linker.c! Shae Erisson generously lent me some webspace at http://shapr.homelinux.net/~pesco/ which now contains the following: ghc-4.08.2-hc-unreg.tar.bz2 unregisterised HC files for GHC 4.08.2 ghc-4.08.2-powerpc-unknown-linux.tar.bz2 an unregisterised binary-dist of GHC 4 without profiling libraries or documentation ghc-5.04.3-powerpc-unknown-linux.tar.bz2 an unregisterised binary-dist of GHC 5 with profiling libraries, documentation, and a broken GHCi ghc-5.04.3-linuxppc.diff a patch with all the changes I made to the GHC 5 sources from which the above compiler was built experience.txt a diary of what I did on my way from HC files to a working GHC 5; this might be worth keeping (maybe linked from the GHC commentary or so) Since the machine hosting this is Shae's home internet gateway, I'm kindly asking you to publish the files on the GHC webspace. Thanks, Sven Moritz Hallberg

The buffer flushing operations are interruptible, so we should guard against asynchronous exceptions being delivered at those points. Cheers, Simon

Exception handler missimg in GHC.Handle.hs
by MR K P SCHUPKE 11 Apr '03

11 Apr '03

If someone has aknowledged this problem, please reply, I'm getting the feeling nobody want's to do anything about it... Brief description: if the remote side of a socket closes the connection, any write will cause a sigPIPE signal, if a signal handler ignoring the signal is in place this results in an IO exception in the write call (or flush). At this point the local end of the socket still exists and needs to be closed by a call to c_close, howerver, hClose and the finalizer both try to flush the write side causeing a second exception, resulting in the handle never getting closed, and leaking... Here is a potential solution: (maybe better to use catchJust ioErrors) handleFinalizer :: MVar Handle__ -> IO () handleFinalizer m = do h_ <- takeMVar m catch (flushWriteBufferOnly h_) (\e -> return()) -- catch exception if remote side closed let fd = fromIntegral (haFD h_) unlockFile fd when (fd /= -1) #ifdef mingw32_TARGET_OS (closeFd (haIsStream h_) fd >> return ()) #else (c_close fd >> return ()) #endif return () Regards, Keean Schupke.

The first example is correct (it returns the parenthesised sub-expressions in the match). The second is indeed incorrect, there's an off-by-one in calculating the first component of the tuple, which I've now fixed. Thanks for the report. Cheers, Simon

Text.Regex bug in ghc 5.04.2
by Shae Matijs Erisson 09 Apr '03

09 Apr '03

After importing Text.Regex and Data.Maybe, here's some output from ghci: *ProtoRegexp> fromJust $ matchRegex (mkRegex "foo") "barfoobaz" [] *ProtoRegexp> fromJust $ matchRegexAll (mkRegex "foo") "barfoobaz" ("ba","foo","baz",[]) I'm relatively sure those are both wrong. I think the first should be "foo" and the second should be ("bar","foo","baz",[]) I haven't yet tried Text.Regex.Posix to see if the problem is just the wrapper. -- Shae Matijs Erisson - 2 days older than RFC0226 #haskell on irc.freenode.net - We Put the Funk in Funktion 10 PRINT "HELLO" 20 GOTO 10 ; putStr $ fix ("HELLO\n"++)
