Proposal: Add ioeGetLocation, ioeSetLocation to System/IO/Error.hs
by Ian Lynagh 04 Mar '07

04 Mar '07

This is a proposal to add ioeGetLocation and ioeSetLocation to System/IO/Error.hs. The functions are visible only to GHC and hugs; nhc is already missing some of this family of functions. The meat of the patch is +ioeGetLocation :: IOError -> String +ioeGetLocation ioe = ioe_location ioe +ioeSetLocation :: IOError -> String -> IOError +ioeSetLocation ioe str = ioe{ ioe_location = str } Deadline: About a week after discussion stops. Thanks Ian

cabal-make for base libs etc
by Conal Elliott 03 Mar '07

03 Mar '07

I'd love to have friendlier haddock docs for the base libs and other libraries that I use & peruse. Specifically, I'd like per-entity source code links and syntax-colored source code. This sort of friendliness is what cabal-make <http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Cabal-make> make easy & consistent. Has anyone else tried cabal-make yet? Are there any obstacles to wanting to use it? Cheers, - Conal

With darcs there is no need to have all the development be done in a central repository, right? One can create a parallel repository for particular development goals, and move changes into the central repository as needed. This is the model used for Linux kernel development. Guess it is not always easy for individual developers to give access to their repositories, and to keep darcs server running all the time. Do you suggest that haskell.org would host such parallel repositories? BTW, you can also attach module source, patch, haddock output files to the ticket, and just publish URLs to them. Wonder if that can make work on this module somewhat easier. Andriy ____________________________________________________________________________________ Never miss an email again! Yahoo!

Added an example for ContT. Updated source and Haddock output. Andriy --- Andriy Palamarchuk <apa3a(a)yahoo.com> wrote: > Documentation for the Continuation monad.
