Re: What are ZMZN and ->Z1T in a ghc space profile?

I searched on google, but had no luck. My program is an implementation of http://www-aig.jpl.nasa.gov/public/home/gat/lisp-study.html in haskell, and the dictionary read in is rather large (900Kb) so I assume most of the space should be [[Char]]

Zxxx is the way GHC encodes operator names into something friendly to C. For a description of the translation, it is probably easiest to look at the relevent GHC source code, available online as: http://cvs.haskell.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/fptools/ghc/compiler/basicTypes/Oc... This URL will probably get broken up by my mailer. The file is basicTypes/OccName.lhs But, to answer your emmediate question: ZMZM = [] - The list Nil constructor Z1T = ( ) - The 1-tuple constructor -Rob
