The type of unfoldrN was overly constrained: unfoldrN :: Int -> (Word8 -> Maybe (Word8, Word8)) -> Word8 -> ByteString

if we compare that to unfoldr: unfoldr :: (b -> Maybe (a, b)) -> b -> [a]

So we can generalise unfoldrN to this type: unfoldrN :: Int -> (a -> Maybe (Word8, a)) -> a -> ByteString

and something similar for the .Char8 version. If people really do want to use it a lot with Word8/Char then perhaps we should add a specialise pragma.

] [Trim imports simonpj@microsoft**20060508142557] [Make unsafePerformIO lazy simonpj@microsoft**20060508142507

The stricteness analyser used to have a HACK which ensured that NOINLNE things were not strictness-analysed. 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.

For some time, GHC has made -fallow-overlapping-instances "sticky": any instance in a module compiled with -fallow-overlapping-instances can overlap when imported, regardless of whether the importing module allows overlap. (If there is an overlap, both instances must come from modules thus compiled.)

Instances in Data.Typeable might well want to be overlapped, so this commit adds the flag to Data.Typeable (with an explanatory comment)

We had a brief discussion about the name on #haskell today. I didn't care for isSubstringOf in this particular case, since this function isn't limited to strings. On the other hand, isInfixOf isn't a particularly intuitive name either, so suggestions would be good.

These two jump to mind: isSublistOf isSubsequenceOf

Sublist seems boringly accurate. Also, the definition could be isSublistOf needle haystack = any (isPrefixOf needle) (tails haystack)

'isInfixOf' is not the name I would search for, but if I find it (say by Hoogle) I would know that I found the right one. It is just analogous to 'isPrefixOf' and 'isSuffixOf' and thus it gets my vote.

Given your explanation and given that Tomasz pointed out that subsequence was a really bad choice, I'm changing my vote to isInfixOf as well. To help people who are searching for this function, could we change the documentation to read 'Predicates on sublists' instead of just 'Predicates'? The section entitled 'Extracting sublists' is pretty long and I never really noticed before that the two were part of the same larger category of 'Sublists'. Cliff
