Anyone working on improving HPC

Hi everyone, A while back there were a few exchanges about the state of HPC and I remember reading that someone was interested in pushing a bit for improving the tool and the reports generated. Does anyone know if that's happening and who is working on that? I forgot where I saw it and I can't find it. It could have been haskell-cafe, discord, chat, idk. Thanks, Ivan

Hi everyone,

Yes, there is currently a small group of people looking to modernize it. I have Cc'd David Binder who has been working on this. Cheers, - Ben

I hoped that HPC would refer to High Performance Computing. :-)

There was also an alternative coverage tool recently announced: https://cs-syd.eu/posts/2022-12-16-announcing-dekking. On Sat, 21 Jan 2023 at 07:13, Henning Thielemann < lemming@henning-thielemann.de> wrote:

They've been coordinating in #haskell-program-coverage in the HF's Slack instance. /David

Do they have an issue tracker for ideas? A trivial but somehow still
very annoying thing about HPC over the years is how it hard crashes
ghci if tix files are out of date, and there's (apparently) no way to
disable writing tix files to make the crashes stop, not even
HPCTIXFILE=/dev/null.
