Hi,
Please bear with a very basic question. I am trying to 'learn me a
Haskell for great good' using Hutton's book and some online tutorials.
I started off with Hugs and recently used GHC (to use the 'let a =
." syntax interactively, which Hugs doesn't allow perhaps).
You might also learn you a haskell for great good with:
There's a simple issue I am having with GHC. sum[1..100000] works fine
on Hugs, however, the same in GHCi generates a stack overflow
exception. I am trying to figure out what's going on.
You might try telling ghci to use optimizations. I but that will fix this problem. I can't reproduce your stack overflow locally (I even tried with bigger numbers). But, this might help:
ghci -O
then try your code.
