Announcing jhc 0.7.4! There have been a few major changes, the main one being that there is now support for a garbage collector. This drastically increases the number of programs which are feasable to compile with jhc.
Hi John, This looks fantastic and fun to play with. A few issues: * running DrIFT on src/E/TypeCheck.hs fails with an illegal bytesequence in hGetContents. I'm guessing that this is only an issue when building DrIFT with GHC 6.12+, and that the file contains bytes illegal in UTF8. I deleted everything funny looking in the file and then it went smooth * The way you use sed doesn't work with the BSD sed that ships with my Mac Book. Installing GNU sed and using it works. Similarly, BSD find doesn't know about '-name', so make hl-clean results in sadness. * jhci works great, but jhc crashes when I try to compile something:
jhc test1.hs jhc 0.7.4 (tokfekyuvi-27) Finding Dependencies... Using Ho Cache: '/Users/alatter/.jhc/cache' Main [test1.hs] Typechecking... [1 of 1] Main (.............................................) test1.hs:9 - Warning: defaulting: t93 => Jhc.Basics.Integer Compiling... [1 of 1] Main <..................................................> Collected Compilation... -- typeAnalyzeMethods -- BoxifyProgram -- Boxy WorkWrap -- LambdaLift E jhc: <stdout>: hPutChar: invalid argument (Illegal byte sequence) <<<<<
Again, this seems like the handle is in UTF8 mode and we're trying to output something non-UTF8. * cabal install has a --jhc flag, but it doesn't seem to work:
cabal install byteorder --jhc Resolving dependencies... cabal: internal error: impossible <<<<< I have jhc installed in a non-standard location (under ${HOME}/usr) so I may need to have some environment variables set up. This is wil Cabal 1.8.0.4 and cabal-install 0.8.2
Keep up the good work! I have an implementation for STRefs I threw together this afternoon for jhc if you're interested. I can't test it properly, though, with the compiler crash above. Antoine
