Haskell RTS on iOS
by Peter Jones 16 Jan '13

16 Jan '13

I'm about to start a project that will target native applications on several platforms (Linux, Mac OS X, iOS, etc.) and Haskell being my new love, I'd like to use it if possible. >From what I can tell the GHC-iOS project has a working ARM cross-compiler that integrates with Xcode for building iOS applications. I'm curious if anyone has an application running on an actual iOS device (not just the simulator) and would care to comment about the performance of the run time system. I've come across some comments in #haskell that have led me to believe that the Haskell RTS won't operate in anything less than 128MB of RAM. I suppose that's not terrible since most iOS devices have at least 512MB but I've not experienced that (xmonad seems to be very happy in 60MB total vsize). The other possible myth that I've heard is that profiling a Haskell program and improving space usage needs to be done on each platform and tuning for one platform can induce space leaks on another. This doesn't seem reasonable to me so I wanted to see if anyone has profiled/tuned on Linux/Mac OS X and run into any issues on an iOS device. Thanks in advance, and thanks for all the work on ghc-ios! -- Peter Jones --- Love to Develop 303-219-0226 http://devalot.com

help for ghc android cross compiler
by Nathan Hüsken 16 Jan '13

16 Jan '13

Hey, I am currently trying to get a ghc cross compiler for android linux to work. I am basing this on the development version (HEAD). I succeeded building the compiler. Unfortunately, the executables produced by the compiler segfault on my android device. If I do an unregisterised build, it works! Since the iphone is also an arm platform, I was hoping someone here could help me a little bit. I investigate the problem a little bit (see this thread: http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/ghc-devs/2013-January/000013.html) and I am guessing (I am no expert) that it is an arm problem, not android. It seems like the wrong register is used for base (r0 instead of r4). * On which ghc version is the iphone fork based? * Are there any arm fixes in the iphone fork that could be related to this? Thank you! Nathan

In regard to all the random iPhone questions

This mailing list keeps getting confused iPhone newbies, might it be worth considering renaming the list to something less likely to be mistaken for a help list? Maybe just append programming onto the list name?

Hey Stephen - more on cross compiling
by Stephen Blackheath [to GHC-iPhone] 14 Jan '13

14 Jan '13

Stephen, Gabor Greif had some cross-compiler changes checked in to mainline recently (see email below), so you should be able to get started with your Blackberry port. I'll re-do GHC-iOS against the latest master. Steve On 20/11/12 09:53, Gabor Greif wrote:> Hi Stephen, > > Ian merged the functionality (mostly?) to mainline 7.7.

Persistent - SQLite
by Casey Basichis 03 Jan '13

03 Jan '13

Hi, Is anyone here using Persistent or another SQLite solution? I know Persistent was rewritten some time ago to work without template Haskell, but all the demonstrations I've seen are still using the template aspects. Has anyone attempted getting the full compiler, with GHCI running? Thanks, Casey -- Casey James Basichis Composer - Cartoon Network http://www.caseyjamesbasichis.com caseybasichis(a)gmail.com 310.387.7540
