Re: [Haskell-cafe] What is the difference between runhaskell and compile?

OK. Finally this problem totally prevents my project from working. By some guy's suggestion, I did a packet capturing, which really showed a difference. The rwdc file is for a ldap that at our IDC, which did not work with compiled binary. The rodc file is for a ldap that at local, which worked all the time. Each file contains two parts of records, at 3.* sec and 6/7.* sec. The 3.* part is for runhaskell way. The 6/7.* part is for compiled binary way. The big difference here is: the failed one sent unbindRequest before got bindResponse success. Just a clue, I have no idea what is going on....

No problem -- I have attached the executable too.

I see. Although I am using a UTF-8 environment, but all string I was using were ASCIIs. If it is not too much trouble, may I have your LDAP compiled library files? I think since the Main.o is identical, maybe the libraries are different.

I wouldn't pay too much attention to the fact that the hash tags are different -- they are very unlikely to be the same across two installations. (For example, my GHC installations are relocated under /usr/hs, immediately changing the contents of all of the .conf files and therefore the hashes.)

The object files are more interesting, and they are identical!

At the moment I can only explain what we are seeing by assuming that some change has affected the GHC 7.4.1 runtime system -- but only for compiled programs.

Are you using non-ASCII characters in your LDAP passwords? I am thinking that maybe the compiled 7.4.1 could be using a different LOCALE from everything else, leading in some way to the passwords being encoded differently en route to the LDAP server. I don't know whether this could actually happen, but it is the kind of mechanism that seem most likely to be causing the problem.

Did you try to running the variants that read address, account and passwords from standard input? Did it show the same perverse behaviour?

Hi, I have compared the files. The .o-es are exactly the same. The .hi-s are different. The interface hash, flag hash, and "import -/ LDAP-0.6.6:LDAP.Constants xxxxx(hash)" are different. I do not know why only this module (LDAP.Constants) has a different hash. I am not quite familiar with ghc compiling process. May I know your conclusion?

Did you carry out a standard (optimised) build to get ghc-7.4.1?

Are you going to try the justhub rpms or compare the object/header files I sent.

A little information. I did not notice the gcc/binutils versions. But in CentOS, the ghc 7.2.2/7.4.1 were all compiled myself with all default configurations.

Interesting. I have this code tested in Debian unstable/stable, CentOS 6.1, all 64 bit, with two different version of libldap2. At first, Debian-s were installed with 7.4.1, CentOS with 7.2.2. Only in CentOS the code connected after compiled. Then I removed 7.4.1 from Debian stable and installed 7.2.2. The code worked. At last, I installed 7.4.1 in CentOS. The code did not work.

Could you send the .hi/.o to me, so maybe I could find out the different? Also the exact original source. Thank you.

Interesting indeed! I am guessing that you are using the GHC-7.4.1 bindist from haskell.org.

I will try and find some time to marshal the source code and intermediate files (am on the road -- will need to collect it from base, make it generic etc.).

You might also like to try the http://justhub.org ghc-7.4.1-hub on your CentOS-6.1 node. It is a separate build from the haskell.org bindist and comes with it's own in-board gcc (4.6.1) and binutils (2.21) used for the build. It should work for you.

(You could also try ghc-7.4.2-RC1-hub.)
