On the other hand, since they are still 32 bit computers, any given application can still only access 4G of memory. This issue will only be a problem on 64 bit platforms which have a 32 bit Int.
Here is a funny program that gives wrong result because of length returning Int on a 32-bit computer. import Data.List main = print (length (genericTake 5000000000 (repeat ()))) Running it shows $ ./A 705032704 But this is a strange piece of code and I agree that it will hardly be a problem on a 32 bit platform. I believe it's impossible to write similarly behaving program for Data.FiniteMap with current compilers and libraries. Best regards, Tom -- .signature: Too many levels of symbolic links
