[Q] Using Class
by Andre Betz 14 Feb '04

14 Feb '04

Hi, I'm a really beginner to haskell and I have a question about using classes. I don't now really what this function does. So I will try to use it to see what it will put out position :: ( Enum a , Eq b ) => b -> [b] -> [a] position x = position_snd . zip ( enumFrom $ toEnum 1 ) where position_snd [] = [] position_snd ((p,y):ys) | x == y = p : position_snd ys | otherwise = position_snd ys My roblem is now that I don't know how to use it. I tried "head position 2 [1,2,3,4]" but I always get an error. Thanks for help André

There is a lot of TH stuff in the HEAD that is not in the released GHC 6.2. TH is still under active development, including design changes, largely in response to feedback from people using it -- so keep us posted on template-haskell(a)haskell.org Simon | -----Original Message----- | From: haskell-cafe-bounces(a)haskell.org [mailto:haskell-cafe-bounces@haskell.org] On Behalf Of | Jeremy Shaw | Sent: 11 February 2004 16:44 | To: Per Larsson | Cc: haskell-cafe(a)haskell.org | Subject: Re: [Haskell-cafe] Template Haskell question? | | Hello, | | I had very similar problems due to bugs in 6.2 that are fixed in cvs head.

Template Haskell question?
by Per Larsson 12 Feb '04

12 Feb '04

I have written a small TH application (module THRecord) which creates update functions for records. It is intended to be used like this: import THRecord data Record = R {... ... $(THRecord.generateRecordModifiers (reifyDecl Record)) It works great, but only if the splice is placed last in the importing module! If I place it in the middle of the module it seems to hide subsequent declarations and I get 'Variable not in scope ...' compiler errors. If I place it at the top of the module I get: ghc-6.2: panic! (the `impossible' happened, GHC version 6.2): nameModule Record {- tc 01D -} Has anybody a clue of what is happening here? -- Per

Path names (again?)
by Vincenzo aka Nick Name 06 Feb '04

06 Feb '04

Hi all, I am so often in need for this (I suppose, non-existing) module, that I am going crazy :) I have found discussions in the archives for haskell mailing lists, but is there any, even posix-only, even unix-only, but better portable, implementation of functions to - concatenate file paths - tell if a path is absolute or relative - chase symlinks - find all the files in a directory (yes, that's what I need :)) I am tired of finding bugs in my implementation, is there someone with a better thing to offer? Is there any hope to see such functions in GHC libraries, or are those already there and it's just me who can't find'em? Thanks in advance Vincenzo

Sat solver
by Ron de Bruijn 05 Feb '04

05 Feb '04

Hi there, I need a complete 3-CNF-Sat solver that can solve sentences of about length 20 (or shorter). Now I use simple model checking, but that's a bit slow , you understand :) I have seen some algorithms on the web and some code-sniplets in papers. But I presume there is some implementation available, so I thought: Let's ask, and don't reinvent the wheel. Greets Ron P.S. Thanks to those who answered my previous question, although I have found another way of expressing my problem. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Syntactic extensions
by Niklas Broberg 05 Feb '04

05 Feb '04

Hello, I am using the haskell-src bundle to implement a preprocessor for some syntactic extensions to haskell. This is all fine and well, but I find myself also wanting the preprocessor to let through some already existing extensions, namely: * implicit parameters * pattern guards * multi-parameter type classes with functional dependencies * possibly template haskell The haskell-src bundle already has support for mptcs (without fundeps), and pattern guards are rather straight-forward, but for the rest; Where can I find formal specifications of these extensions in terms of added/changed syntax? Or even better, is there anyone out there who has already extended the haskell-src bundle with support for any of them? regards, Niklas Broberg (d00nibro[at]dtek.chalmers.se) _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your e-mail with MSN 8.

Haskell overview
by Mark Carroll 04 Feb '04

04 Feb '04

A colleague with a mathematics and Lisp background is wanting to learn more about Haskell. The books he's looked at concentrate more on building up from the basics and getting the syntax right, etc., whereas really he's looking more of a top-down view that makes Haskell's features and behavior clear and relates them to category theory, etc. Would anyone be able to suggest some good references? -- Mark
