runSTArray for multiple arrays
by Henning Thielemann 13 Mar '08

13 Mar '08

Currently, runSTArray can handle only one array: runSTArray :: Ix i => (forall s . ST s (STArray s i e)) -> Array i e Would it be possible to access multiple arrays successively by a function like runSTArraySplit :: Ix i => (forall s . ST s (STArray s i e, a)) -> (Array i e, ST t a) Hm, this would not work, because type variables 's' in 'a' had to be converted to 't' as well. Are there other ideas to tackle this problem?

non-maintainer uploads to hackageDB
by Ross Paterson 12 Mar '08

12 Mar '08

I think we need, perhaps not a policy, but some agreed etiquette regarding uploads to hackageDB. (Please hold off on the technical suggestions until we've decided what behaviour we want.) Personally, I'd rather have all maintainers doing their own uploads. As I user, I'd like to know that someone takes responsibility for the whole of a package I download, including the packaging, and will be available for bug fixes and enhancements (such as making it work with the next GHC release). As this is free software, there's nothing to stop someone forking a package and maintaining their own version. Then as a user I'll need to choose between the two, but I'll still be looking for a maintainer of the whole package. It might be fair to ask that someone creating a fork change the name of the package in some way, to avoid confusion (and eating up the original maintainer's version numbers). This is a different situation from Linux or BSD distributions, where primary releases are repackaged to conform with native conventions. HackageDB is an upstream site, where people can make their own releases, using a common package format (Cabal). (Similarly I don't think we need the pristine+patches setup used by those distributions: maintainers should just take care of the pristine.)

Proposal: add some missing tuple functions
by Don Stewart 12 Mar '08

12 Mar '08

Basic texts often define swap, fst3, snd3 and thd3 So let's add them to the rather bare Data.Tuple. The fst3.. series were approved to be added a couple of years ago, but I never got around to it. The patch is attached. -- Don

Re: Data.HashTable
by Johannes Waldmann 08 Mar '08

08 Mar '08

Hello. I could build HsJudy-0.2, meanwhile. Thanks. It is not an immediate replacement for Data.Map or Data.HashTable, though? I figure I need some wrapper code (instances of Stringable and Refeable) but the documentation is somewhat terse. For Stringable I can guess the meaning of to/fromString, but I have no idea how I should implement the other methods. - (I also do not see why I need fromString.) For Refeable - what is the "Value" type? Best regards, Johannes.

GetOpt bug causing it to mistakenly reject options as ambiguous
by Eelis van der Weegen 07 Mar '08

07 Mar '08

[This is a resend; I tried to post through gmane but the message never arrived.] There is a bug in System.Console.GetOpt causing it to mistakenly reject options as ambiguous. Testcase: > import System.Console.GetOpt > > type Color = String > > optsDesc :: [OptDescr Color] > optsDesc = [Option "" ["color", "colour"] (ReqArg id "color") "Foreground color"] > > main = do > let args = ["--col=blue"] > case getOpt RequireOrder optsDesc args of > (_, _, err:_) -> putStrLn err > _ -> return () Output: option `--col' is ambiguous; could be one of: --color=color, --colour=color Foreground color --color=color, --colour=color Foreground color This error is silly, because the two alternatives listed are the same option. The problem is caused by incorrect use of a generator in a list comprehension. I've attached a patch that fixes the problem. Regards, Eelis

Data.HashTable
by Johannes Waldmann 07 Mar '08

07 Mar '08

Hello. When I insert 50 values in an empty hashtable, I get longest chains of length 10. Like this: import Data.HashTable ( HashTable ) import qualified Data.HashTable as H import System.Random main = do t <- H.new ( == ) H.hashInt sequence $ replicate 50 $ do x <- randomRIO ( 0 , 1000 ) H.update t x () lc <- H.longestChain t print lc output: [(831,()),(346,()),(773,()),(475,()),(812,()),(307,()),(113,()),(637,()),(100,())] This is not what I expected (quite the contrary). Did I miss something here? The access time is linear in the length of the longest chain? Perhaps the initial table (produced by "new") is too small, so the table is always overloaded? Looking at http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/util/HashMap.html they start out with table size 16 by default *and* (more importantly) they have a constructor that allows to set the initial table size and the load factor. Best regards, Johannes Waldmann.

ANN: Takusen 0.8
by Alistair Bayley 06 Mar '08

06 Mar '08

Oleg and I are pleased to announce the release of Takusen 0.8. (Don Stewart did an interim 0.7 release for us a few weeks ago, and added us to Hackage. This release is a tidy-up of some loose ends, and some bug fixes. Hence, I've summarise the changes since the 0.6 release.) Changes since 0.6: - ODBC support. This still has a few gaps (and probably bugs and rough edges) but should be fairly usable. - support for reusable/persistent sessions, so you can hang onto the connection object between invocations of withSession (this was in release 0.6 but omitted from the release notes). - improvements to the Cabal Setup scripts, which should give better experiences for ghc-6.4, ghc-6.6, and ghc-6.8. The (eventual) 1.4 release of Cabal should be able to build our haddock docs, too. - improved UTF8 decoder (marshals directly from buffer). The release bundle: http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/Takusen/0.8/Takusen-0.8.tar.gz The latest code: darcs get http://darcs.haskell.org/takusen Docs: http://darcs.haskell.org/takusen/doc/html/index.html A comprehensive description of API usage can be found in the documentation for module Database.Enumerator (look for the Usage section): http://darcs.haskell.org/takusen/doc/html/Database-Enumerator.html Future plans: - FreeTDS backend (Sybase and MS Sql Server) - support for Blobs and Clobs For those of you unfamiliar with Takusen, here is our HCAR blurb: Takusen is a library for accessing DBMS's. Like HSQL, we support arbitrary SQL statements (currently strings, extensible to anything that can be converted to a string). Takusen's `unique-selling-point' is safety and efficiency. We statically ensure all acquired database resources - such as cursors, connection and statement handles - are released, exactly once, at predictable times. Takusen can avoid loading the whole result set in memory, and so can handle queries returning millions of rows in constant space. Takusen also supports automatic marshalling and unmarshalling of results and query parameters. These benefits come from the design of query result processing around a left-fold enumerator. Currently we fully support ODBC, Oracle, Sqlite, and PostgreSQL.

Cannot link to readline
by Yitzchak Gale 06 Mar '08

06 Mar '08

On Mac OS X 10.4, I can't link programs that use readline unless I explicitly specify the GNUreadline framework on the ghc command line: $ ghc --make fooText.hs [4 of 5] Compiling FooText ( FooText.hs, FooText.o ) [5 of 5] Compiling Main ( fooText.hs, fooText.o ) Linking fooText ... /usr/bin/ld: Undefined symbols: _rl_initialize _rl_unbind_key _add_history _readline collect2: ld returned 1 exit status $ ghc --make -framework GNUreadline fooText.hs Linking fooText ... $ Note that this happens for programs that explicitly use System.Console.Readline, not in general ghc use. Manuel M T Chakravarty wrote: > Did you specify -package readline? -package readline doesn't help. It only compiles if I say -framework GNUreadline. > The readline package spec should include the framework > option (if not, its a bug in the config of the readline package IMO). OK, I'll copy this to the libraries list then. Thanks, Yitz

The reason was unsafePerformIO. Left to itself, the strictness analyser would discover this strictness for unsafePerformIO: unsafePerformIO: C(U(AV)) But then consider this sub-expression unsafePerformIO (\s -> let r = f x in case writeIORef v r s of (# s1, _ #) -> (# s1, r #) The strictness analyser will now find that r is sure to be eval'd, and may then hoist it out. This makes tests/lib/should_run/memo002 deadlock. Solving this by making all NOINLINE things have no strictness info is overkill. In particular, it's overkill for runST, which is perfectly respectable. Consider f x = runST (return x) This should be strict in x. So the new plan is to define unsafePerformIO using the 'lazy' combinator: unsafePerformIO (IO m) = lazy (case m realWorld# of (# _, r #) -> r) Remember, 'lazy' is a wired-in identity-function Id, of type a->a, which is magically NON-STRICT, and is inlined after strictness analysis. So unsafePerformIO will look non-strict, and that's what we want. ] [Sync with FPS head.
