Hugs build error
by R. Legere 12 Jan '03

12 Jan '03

Greetings, I should have mentioned this before, but I wanted to check it out further... when I build hugs (either from cvs or from tarball) on cygwin, the build fails with: ERROR "Text.Regex.Posix" - Unable to open file "Text.Regex.Posix" make: *** [../hugsdir/libraries/Text/Regex/Posix.so] Error 1 If I remove EXTRA_FFI_LIBRARIES by hadn from the make file, it builds. --- Also, alignPtr and sizeOf 1.0::CDouble are fixed in cvs, thanks! I have a tiny test program that tests the ffi by passing a pointer to a structure around and accesses it from Haskell. I wonder if I could/should make this into one of the 'tests' in hugs98/tests/ffi ?? Cheers, Ron

Signs, Word32 and Array
by Ian Lynagh 10 Jan '03

10 Jan '03

This looks like a hugs bug to me - GHCi gets it right. Inflate> 4294967295 :: Word32 4294967295 Inflate> (4294967295 :: Word32) > 0 True Inflate> array (0, (4294967295 :: Word32)) [] // [(5, 98)] array Program error: {_out_of_bounds (0,-1) 5} Inflate> Incidentally, how do you get the Word and Array modules in scope at once without using a module to import them both? My fiddling with :l and :a wasn't fruitful. Thanks Ian

Trex
by Stephen Eldridge 10 Jan '03

10 Jan '03

Using version Nov 2002 in Windows XP I find that import Trex gives me Reading file "c:\progra~1\hugs98\lib\hugs\Trex.hs": ERROR "c:\progra~1\hugs98\lib\hugs\Trex.hs" - Illegal export of a lone data cons tructor "EmptyRec" This can be cured by removing the export of EmptyRec from Trex.hs but I don't think this should be necessary.

Known bugs in Hugs
by Simon Marlow 09 Jan '03

09 Jan '03

There are a couple of known bugs in Hugs which aren't mentioned on the bugs page, or in the documentation section on the differences between Hugs98 and Haskell 98. 1. Hugs doesn't support Rational constants: Prelude> 1.0e27 :: Rational 999999988484154753734934528 % 1 2. Hugs's implementation of the monomorphism restriction differs from the spec (discussed a few months back). Also, the documentation still claims that some libraries don't exist (Directory, Time, CPUTime), and mentions some other libraries which aren't part of Haskell 98 (Bit, Nat, Signed). Cheers, Simon
