No.

Ok. Fixed (I tried fast rewrite from foldr')
64-bit system? I get
64 bit, GHC 6.12.2. % ghc -V The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 6.12.2 % file a.out a.out: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.9, not stripped
And that is strange, because I get the same figures for that one as for the first (times differ by a few hundredths of a second).
Fixed or non-fixed version?
Is that a difference between 32-bit code generator and 64-bit or between GHC versions (6.12.2 here, but 6.10.3 gives roughly the same results)?
Hmm. Compiler and platform matches. Unless you use some other 64-bit platform - not x86-64 ;)
main = print $! uncurry (+) (cFoldl' lengthFold lengthFold (0, 0) [1..size])
And that gives the same figures as the other two (plus/minus 0.05s).
All are compiled with optimizations.
All compiled with -O2.
Hmm. Difference between -O1 and -O2 Fixed versions and with sum (and -O2):

On the other hand if I use arrow syntax:
myArr :: Num a => FoldlArrow a (a, a) (a, a) myArr = proc (l, s) -> do e <- element -< () returnA -< (l + 1, s + e)
It starts consuming memory as well. Somewhere is lazy passing of value but I cannot find where Regards PS. As it is probably out of scope and topic of beginners mailing list I'm CC'ing cafe (possibly beginners should be dropped). [1] It can be extended to work on other arrows as well - not only (->).

Ok. Should be: myArr :: Num a => FoldlArrow a (a, a) (a, a) myArr = proc (l, s) -> do e <- element -< () let !l' = l + 1 let !s' = s + e returnA -< (l', s') Regards

Hmm. What's the name of this form and how to get it?
It's GHC's intermediate language, named Core. It's sort of a slimmed down Haskell. You can get it by a) compiling with the -ddump-simpl flag (e.g. ghc -O2 -ddump-simpl --make prog > prog.core If you don't redirect, it's spat out to stdout, better to have it in a file for reading. Also, it's easier to read with syntax-highlighting, plain Haskell-highlighting already goes a long way.) b) using Don Stewart's ghc-core (http://hackage.haskell.org/package/ghc- core), e.g. ghc.core -f html -- -O2 Source.hs > Source.html Looking at the core, you can see what GHC really makes from your code.
No.
cFoldl' f g (b0,c0) xs0 = lgo b0 c0 xs0 where lgo b c [] = (b,c) lgo !b !c (x:xs) = lgo (f b x) (g c x) xs
Ok. Fixed (I tried fast rewrite from foldr')
Doesn't matter when compiled with optimisations (produces nearly identical core), but without optimisations the original constructs a new pair in each step. However, I inadvertently swapped the clauses of lgo (could also be fixed by putting the bang patterns in the first clause). That didn't matter as long as both accumulating functions were lengthFold, but it makes a big difference when one is (+).
64-bit system? I get
64 bit, GHC 6.12.2. % ghc -V The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 6.12.2 % file a.out a.out: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.9, not stripped

Hmm. Compiler and platform matches. Unless you use some other 64-bit platform - not x86-64 ;)
No, I have a 32-bit system (I got almost exactly half the allocation figures you got, so I suspected your Ints [and small Integers] were twice as large as mine).
main = print $! uncurry (+) (cFoldl' lengthFold lengthFold (0, 0) [1..size])
And that gives the same figures as the other two (plus/minus 0.05s).

All compiled with -O2.

No, they produce identical core for these.

Yes, of course.

Lot's of memory(Over 3 GiB). I voluntarily killed process.

Yes. Actually, with optimisations turned on, GHC *does* share the list [1 .. size]. Oops. It's not shared with -O0 unless you give it a name.

Hmm. For me, that gives identical performance (and identical core for main) as the misfixed cFoldl', the really fixed cFoldl' does significantly better. It becomes equal (for this task at least) if I make FoldlArrows also strict in the first argument (replace all "\a" with "\ !a").
