Re: Strange behavior when using stable names inside ghci?

28 Jun 2012

      Hi Facundo,
...
The program below when loaded in ghci prints always False, and when
compiled with ghc it prints True
...
From above, I guess the code is not compiled in ghci, which means
byte-code is used insted of object-code.
If what matter here is "to get same result in ghci and compiled code",
invoking ghci with object code compilation option[1] may help. E.g.
start ghci with:

  $ ghci  -fobject-code

Below is a sample session with your code. I saved it as "UCSN.hs".

  $ ls
  UCSN.hs
  $ ghc-7.4.1 --interactive UCSN.hs
  GHCi, version 7.4.1: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/  :? for help
  Loading package ghc-prim ... linking ... done.
  Loading package integer-gmp ... linking ... done.
  Loading package base ... linking ... done.
  [1 of 1] Compiling UCSN             ( UCSN.hs, interpreted )
  Ok, modules loaded: UCSN.
  ghci> :main
  type enter
  False
  ghci> :q
  Leaving GHCi.

Invoking again, with "-fobject-code". Note the absense of "interpreted" message:

  $ ghc-7.4.1 --interactive -fobject-code UCSN.hs
  GHCi, version 7.4.1: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/  :? for help
  Loading package ghc-prim ... linking ... done.
  Loading package integer-gmp ... linking ... done.
  Loading package base ... linking ... done.
  [1 of 1] Compiling UCSN             ( UCSN.hs, UCSN.o )
  Ok, modules loaded: UCSN.
  ghci> :main
  type enter
  True
  ghci> :q
  Leaving GHCi.

Now we have "UCSN.hi" and "UCSN.o".

  $ ls
  UCSN.hi  UCSN.hs  UCSN.o

Invoking ghci again, without "-fobject-code".
No "interpreted" message. Showing 'True' with main.

  $ ghc-7.4.1 --interactive UCSN.hs
  GHCi, version 7.4.1: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/  :? for help
  Loading package ghc-prim ... linking ... done.
  Loading package integer-gmp ... linking ... done.
  Loading package base ... linking ... done.
  Ok, modules loaded: UCSN.
  ghci> :main
  type enter
  True
  ghci> :q
  Leaving GHCi.

Hope these help.

Hi,
 The program below when loaded in ghci prints always False, and when
compiled with ghc it prints True. I'm using ghc-7.4.1 and I cannot
quite explain such behavior. Any hints?
Thanks in advance,
Facundo
