Why do I get the following message from hat-observe? There is enough output for hat-trail to work ok.

[ajc99@pcburum hier]$ hat-observe countAssocs HierLearn FUNCTION TABLE EMPTY Closing file 0

Is the module containing `countAssocs' written as a literate file? Or maybe using an indentation style where top-level identifiers are indented by one character or more? If so, then I guess this is probably a known problem that we have already fixed for the forthcoming release 1.10 (due approximately at the end of this week). Essentially, hat-observe can only sensibly report information about top-level functions, i.e. not locally-defined functions. In currently-released versions, it checks for top-level-ness of an identifier by the column position of its definition, which is rather a hack and pretty error-prone. From the next release, the top-level information will be generated correctly by the compiler itself. Regards, Malcolm
