import chasing in hugs vs. runhugs

Hi, I've written a port file for hugs under Mac OS X using the darwinports infrastructure. The port seems to work fine. I'm adding an option to automatically load the School of Expression graphics files, and while testing I noticed something I don't understand. I'd like to know if it's a bug, or which manual page I should RTF. I've modified the SOE graphics build so it builds under OS X with no trouble, using Apple's X11. When I run the suggested tests using runhugs, some work OK, but others fail: bash> runhugs -Pgraphics-2.0.4/lib/x11: graphics-2.0.4/test/Tests.hs runhugs: compileExpr: invalid module The only modules that Tests.hs imports are GraphicsUtils (found in the -P path) and Exception. In this case, the Exception module isn't found. What's odd is that if I run the same thing interactively, hugs -Pgraphics-2.0.4/lib/x11: graphics-2.0.4/test/Tests.hs all of the modules are found successfully and I can run the tests. If this is a known problem I can just annotate the port with a warning. Thanks for your help. Best Wishes, Greg Wright

The issue as I see it is whether a module A.B.C can be placed in a file A.B.C.hs, or whether it has to be named A/B/C.hs (substitute / for the local directory separator). IIRC some people wanted to be able to do this - I suppose it might be useful to avoid deep/sparse directory structures. > Note that the ghc-users discussion would have a quite different > semantics from what Hugs has.

How is that different from adding the current directory to the search path? (which is what GHC does by default). > The proposed > semantics is to either treat it as relative to the current > directory if it contains a leading dot or to treat it as relative > to the search path otherwise. by "current directory" you mean "directory in which the current module resides?" (i.e. not the same as the meaning of "."). Cheers, Simon

Let's drop non-hierarchial names too. I'm curious why you want to do that: in recent discussions on glasgow-haskell-users one or two people spoke up in favour of allowing the dotted version, and I was seriously considering adding it to GHC. I can't remember all the reasons off the top of my head though. Cheers, Simon

Problem with hierarchical libraries in Hugs compared to ghc/nhc98
by Olaf Chitil 12 Mar '03

When trying to make our Haskell tracer Hat work with Hugs (November 2002) I noticed that * Hugs' implementation of hierarchical libraries differs from those of ghc and nhc98, and * Hugs' implementation choice makes it more restrictive than ghc/nhc98 A simple example: There is module B in file B.hs There is module Test.B in file Test/B.hs There is module Test.A in file Test/A.hs Module Test.A contains "import B". When compiling module Test.A both nhc98 and ghc imports module B from file B.hs. In contrast, Hugs imports module Test.B from file Test/B.hs and then stops with an error, because the module name is wrong. The simple reason why Hugs behaves so is that when searching a module it *always* searches the current directory (* where the import was demanded *) first. Only afterwards the paths set with the -P option are searched. I know that we generally try to avoid specifying filename and directory issues. However, this is not really a filename issue, but a problem of relative and absolute module names (wrt possibly several hierarchies). An "import B" in module Test.A could mean either module B or module Test.B. I suggest that the absolute module name takes precedence, because otherwise there is no way to import module B from module Test.A, whereas you can always import module Test.B from module Test.A by saying "import Test.B". I admit that this has the slight disadvantage that moving a set of modules into the hierarchical library will require not only changing all module names at the top but also in every import declaration, to not inadvertedly import the wrong module. So in the end this suggests that we should not allow relative module names at all. Note that this proposal still allows the current directory (of Hugs or in which the compiler was started) to be the root of the hierarchy that is searched first. In fact, this is probably the desirable default behaviour. Currently the hierarchical library proposal http://www.haskell.org/~simonmar/libraries/libraries.html does not say much about the semantics of the hierarchical module names. It really should. I'd very much like to hear other people's opinion on this (especially the Hugs maintainers'). The current behaviour of Hugs makes it impossible for Hat to work with Hugs. Hat creates a shadow hierarchy of transformed libraries: the transformed variant of Prelude is Hat.Prelude, the transformed variant of Control.Arrow is Hat.Control.Arrow etc. Nearly all of the transformed modules import both Prelude and Hat.Prelude ...

I'm open to suggestions - in fact I thought the semantics were fairly clear, but perhaps not? Or do you mean that the document should say more about file names and searching policies? (that would be difficult without getting compiler-specific). Cheers, Simon

You did ask for compatibility :-) Johannes Waldmann's suggestion may be relevant: : "brackets is now called angles, while squares is now called brackets." : see http://www.cs.uu.nl/~daan/parsec.html > But the +N does not work: it says > "New hierarchical libraries not found along search path; ignoring +N > toggle." I'm guessing that you're explicitly overriding the -P parameter. The trick here is to say ";newdir", so it adds your new directory to the standard ones (which are different between -N and +N). (I think -- I don't know about the Windows interface.) You want the search path to be something like {Hugs}\libraries;{Hugs}\oldlib;{Hugs}\lib\win32 with any other directories added on the end.
