by serenajones＠indiatimes.com 01 Oct '03

01 Oct '03

From: Mrs Serena Jones PLEASE ENDEAVOUR TO USED IT FOR THE CHILDREN OF GOD. I am the above named person from Kuwait. I am married to Dr. Harry Jones who worked with Kuwait embassy in Ivory Co ast for nine years before he died in the year 2000. We were married for eleven years without a child. He died a fter a brief illness that lasted for only four days. Before his death we were both born again Christia ns.Since his death I decided not to re- marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which the Bi ble is against.When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of$8.6Million (Eight Million six hundred thousand U.S. D ollars) with one finance/security company in Amsterderm Hollan d. Presently, this money is still with the Security Company. Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next three months due to cancer problem. Though what disturbs me most i s my stroke sickness. Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to church or better still a christian individ ual that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruc t here in. I want a church that will use this fund to fund chu rches, orphanages and widows propagating the word of God and t o ensure that the house of God is maintained. The Bible made us to understand that Blessed is the hand that giveth. I took this decision because I don?t have any child that wil l inherit this money and my husband relatives are not Christi ans and I don?t want my husband?s hard earned money to be misu sed by unbelievers. I don?t want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly manner. Hence the reason for taking this bold decision. I am not afraid of death hence I know whe re I am going. I know that I am going to be in the bosom of th e Lord. Exodus 14 VS 14 says that the lord will fight my case and I shall hold my peace. I don?t need any telephone communi cation in this regard because of my health because of the pres ence of my husband?s relatives around me always. I don?t want them to know about this development. With God all things are p ossible. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the Finance/Security Company in Amsterderm Holland . I will also issue you a letter of authority that will prove you as the original- beneficiary of this fund. I want you and the church to always pray for me because the lord is my shephard. My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian. Whoe ver that wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and truth. Please always be prayerful all through your life. Any d elay in your reply will give me room in sourcing for a chuch or christian individual for this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein. Hoping to hearing from you. N.B- PLEASE I WILL ADVICE YOU TO GIVE THE LAWYER IN CHARGE A CALL I N HOLLAND IMMEDIATELY, HE DOES EVERYTHING ON MY BEHALF AND HE' S VERY UNDERSTANDING AND I BELIEVE HE WILL LEAD YOU TO YOUR SU CCESS IN JESUS NAME, THE LAWYER'S NAME IS PAULSON,PHONE NUMBER IS 00-31-630-854-650. Remain blessed in the name of the Lord. Yours in Christ, Mrs Serena Jones

We have two known bugs in the recompilation checker. One is related to switching the optimisation level while developing a program with --make: the workaround is not to do this. The other bug is unfortunately rather more serious and doesn't have a workaround. Essentially it means that --make might not recompile as much of the program as it should, and you might end up with an inconsistent executable (which is likely to crash). Simon P.J. noticed the bug while revamping the front end recently, and we've verified that it can indeed lead to crashing programs. There isn't a simple fix, nor a workaround, although avoiding -O in conjunction with --make might help matters. 6.2 will have the bug (because the fix is in Simon P.J.'s rewrite of the front-end, which is scheduled for 6.4). That is unless we can think of a way to fix it that doesn't involve writing hundreds of lines of new code. Note that removing all the .o & .hi files and building from scratch will always result in a working program. The bug only affects recompilation after making changes to one or more modules in the program. This bug has basically been there ever since we had --make, and it has only been seen in the wild perhaps a handful of times, so it's arguably not a showstopper. However, it is rather disturbing. Cheers, Simon

Threaded foreign functions calling back.
by Peter Strand 27 Sep '03

27 Sep '03

Hi, I'd like to use a C-library which calls back into the haskell program, potentially from different threads at the same time. That is, the following calling sequence takes place: (haskell) Calls C via foreign import. (c) Creates threads, which in turn calls back into haskell via foreign exported functions. Is this supported in ghc? Some simple tests suggests that it does work, at least I don't get any crashes, if ghc is compiled with --enable-threaded-rts. But is this intended to work or am I just lucky? /Peter
