Fwd: Question

Hi A user asked: --------------------------------------------------- I installed WinHugs on a Winodw Xp machine went into settings and set the search path to be(shown exactly as :set is listing it). Search path : -P.;{Hugs}\packages\*;c:\haskell I am keeping my fact.hs files(well my one and only at this time) in c:\haskell. Hugs> :load fact.hs ERROR - Unable to open file "fact.hs" Hugs> :load "c:\haskell\fact.hs" Fact> --------------------------------------------------- I realise that that isn't expected to work (the search path appears to be only for modules not files), but I do wonder why not. An equivalent feature request is: :l List -- works fine :l List.hs -- doesn't Thanks Neil

[Hugs] #80: A curious stack overflow problem

#80: A curious stack overflow problem --------------------+------------------------------------------------------- Reporter: guest | Owner: nobody Type: defect | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: hugs | Version: 200609 Keywords: | --------------------+------------------------------------------------------- Suppose I define > natmin :: [Int] -> Int > natmin = foldr1 min > where min x y = if x==0 || x<=y then x else y I would expect the same behaviour from natmin ([1..10000] ++ [0..]) as from or ([False | i <- [1..10000]] ++ [True | i <- [1..]]) But the first gives stack overflow, and the second doesn't. The problem does not exist with GHCi.
