[Haskell-cafe] RE: simple function: stack overflow in hugs vs none in ghc

I agree with your analysis. if the following is tried in hugs then ghc you will obtain two different results.. return (repeat 'a') >>= \ x -> print $ span (const True) x with hugs you will get a stack error, in ghc it executes in constant space, i.e. indefinitely. In essenece the above example does exactly the same as my ealier code. _________________________________________________________________ Advertisement: Need a Hand?
