5.02 is parsed as 5.2 by the Version parser:
readP_to_S parseVersion "5.02" [(Version {versionBranch = [5], versionTags = []},".02"),(Version {versionBranch = [5,2], versionTags = []},"")]
so I'm not sure what you're referring to here. Could you give a concrete example?
Ah, I see: "sequence of natural numbers separated by dots". So, the community needs to consider "ghc-5.02" and "ghc-5.2" as equivalent. As to me, I would not complain. I do not know, people may do. On memory expense -----------------
A difference of 2.5Mb is really very small. If you could show that the space usage is linear in one case and flat in another, then we have a problem.
But a ratio 2600 K / 200 K for n = 55000 is not so small. I never tested this, but what if in this mergeSort-like example the space sizes are space.6.4(n) = 13*space.5.02(n) (which has the above ratio for n = 55000) ? ----------------- Serge Mechveliani mechvel@botik.ru
