A non-exported function can be inlined, and its definition deleted. If there is only one call site, it can be inlined no matter how big it is.

Be careful about accidental overloading: GHC will specialise if it can see the uses of a function within a single module, but not when the function is in another module. Put type signatures on everything, and consider using SPECIALISE pragmas to eliminate overloading. Be careful with exports. Prune export lists to just those functions which need to be exported. Cheers, Simon

60% longer is a lot. I'm surprised. I'd try compiling the whole thing both ways with profiling on and see if that reveals anything S | -----Original Message----- | From: haskell-cafe-admin(a)haskell.org [mailto:haskell-cafe-admin@haskell.org] On Behalf Of David | Roundy | Sent: 30 May 2003 13:06 | To: haskell-cafe(a)haskell.org | Subject: how to break up a large module? | | I recently spent a couple of hours breaking up a large module (2.5k lines) | into several smaller modules.

I recently spent a couple of hours breaking up a large module (2.5k lines) into several smaller modules. When I finally got it working, I found that my program took about 60% longer to run. This was running ghc with -O optimization. Any suggestions how to go about breaking up a module in such a way that it doesn't slow things down? Do I just have to go adding INLINE directives to all my functions? Or is there some other trick I could use? For the moment I've reverted to my single big file method, but it certainly would be handy to be able to break that up so that it wouldn't take so long to recompile. -- David Roundy http://www.abridgegame.org

Question about Haskell lexer and parser.
by Serguey Zefirov 28 May '03

28 May '03

Hello haskell-cafe, Question is really about layout rules. If the first lexeme of a module is not a "module" keyword, we insert {n}, where n is the indentation of first lexeme. Then we apply function L to the list of lexemes and stack of layouts: L ({n}:lexemes) [] One of first case definitions of L covers this situation: L ({n}:ts) [] | n>0 = {:L ts [n] -- n>0 means that layout isn't explicit. It's obvious that after our first {n} comes usual lexeme, like Var. This situaiton is covered in the following L rule: L (t:ts) (m:ms) | m /= 0 = }:L (t:ts) ms -- Haskell Report says that we here -- should recognize parsing errors -- but how we can do that in lexer? So we finally get {:}:...lexemes... Is it right? I think this situation is wrong. -------------------------- What I do. I just try to entertain and educate myself trying to implement Haskell interpreter or compiler (what will come first). My approach is to get highly modular and declarative structure of a system (current Haskell lexer uses monads, which I found unsatisfable). -- Best regards, Serguey mailto:sz@uc.ru

how to track down out-of-bounds error?
by David Roundy 28 May '03

28 May '03

In some code which uses UArrays, I'm getting the following error: Fail: Ix{Int}.index: Index (3723) out of range ((0,3722)) Presumably this means I'm trying to access one beyond the end of an array. The problem is trying to figure out where I'm doing this. Unfortunately, I have only been able to see this error on a rather large test repository, where it takes seven minutes for the test to show up. Any suggestions how I might most easily track this bug down? -- David Roundy http://www.abridgegame.org
