ANNOUNCE: hmake-3.06
by Malcolm Wallace 09 Aug '02

09 Aug '02

hmake-3.06 ---------- We are pleased to announce a fresh, bugfix, release of hmake, the Haskell compilation manager. The usual hmake highlights -------------------------- * hmake knows about interface (.hi) files. * hmake is compiler-independent, and allows multiple compiler versions. * hmake is aware of many pre-processors. * hmake can generate object files in a separate directory from your sources. * hmake understands the library package system. * hmake understands hierarchical module namespaces. * hmake understands the Hat tracer. What's new in 3.06 ------------------ * Better handling of package libraries. Previously, the package import directories were detected at installation time, so the addition of a new package required hmake-config to be invoked to update the config database. Also, because all of the package dirs were searched on every invocation, hmake could not warn of a missing -package flag. Now, package dirs are detected at runtime, and only for the requested packages - this fixes both problems. * Added the cmdline option list to hmake-config to display the set of Haskell compilers known to hmake. * Bugfix for the -hat option. Ensure that if a file goes through cpp before hat-trans, the resulting .hx file is moved from the temporary dir back to the build dir. * Bugfix, to ensure that hmake isn't confused by the escaped character \\ in a literal string. More info, and downloads ------------------------ http://www.cs.york.ac.uk/fp/hmake/ Regards, Malcolm Wallace

----------------------- nhc98-1.14 + hmake-3.05 ----------------------- We are pleased to announce new releases of nhc98 and hmake. These are essentially bug-fix and performance-improvement releases. hmake: * Bugfixes for the -hat option nhc98: * No longer includes Hat, the Haskell'98 tracing system. Hat will shortly be released as a separate package, capable of working with either nhc98 or ghc, or both. * Tracks the latest minor revisions of the Haskell'98 Report. * Runtime performance improved by 8% (thanks to Thomas Nordin). * Numerous other small tweaks and bugfixes. for information on nhc98: http://www.cs.york.ac.uk/fp/nhc98/ for information on hmake: http://www.cs.york.ac.uk/fp/hmake/ Regards, Malcolm Wallace

ANNOUNCE: hat-2.00
by Malcolm Wallace 14 Jun '02

14 Jun '02

------------------------------------ hat-2.00 ------------------------------------ We are pleased to announce a new release of Hat, the Haskell tracing (an debugging) system for Haskell'98. This release of Hat is a major release. It is now distributed entirely separately from the nhc98 compiler, and supports both nhc98 and GHC as possible host compilers. Since the last release of Hat, the trace file format has changed, the browsing tools have been substantially rewritten for better cross-tool integration, and runtime performance has been improved. If you haven't already tried out the Hat tracing system, now is a good time to have a go! Features worth noting are: * There is a tutorial introduction to Hat, showing how to generate program traces, how to explore them, and how they can help you to debug Haskell programs. * All the interactive trace browsing tools are implemented in Haskell, including a simpler, textual version of hat-trail. They all inter-operate, and use a similar command syntax. * The trace-generating machinery can be used with either GHC or nhc98. Just use `hmake -ghc -hat' or `hmake -nhc98 -hat'. There is a new mailing list at haskell.org for discussion of the Hat system, and bug-reports. http://haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/hat For information on hat: http://www.cs.york.ac.uk/fp/hat/ For hat downloads: ftp://ftp.cs.york.ac.uk/pub/haskell/hat/ (Please note that a prior installation of hmake-3.05 is required.) Regards, The Hat team at York

Newbie Problem

Hello, I'm not subscribed to this list, so please make sure you CC to me if you reply. I just installed nhc98 (from source) and tried to compile a simple program: module Test where main = return () Here is the result: $ nhc98 test.hs /usr/lib/nhc98/ix86-Linux/Prelude.a(_Driver.o)(.data+0x88): undefined reference to `CF_Main_46main' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status $ This is the first "program" I've tried to write in Haskell (although I've used Clean and Miranda before). Did I do something wrong?? -- ----------------- PGP public key at http://wwwkeys.pgp.net:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x92B5D3F1

-b vs. -p
by Saswat Anand 15 Apr '02

15 Apr '02

Hi, I notice that for my program, the max. live heap in the heap profile with -b option is around 300MB, wheras with -p option it is only 4K. I have attached my program, which is a solution to n-queens problem. I am not sure if my understanding of max. live heap is correct. The above numebers refer to the maximum unit on the Y axis. Could you please explain. thanks, Saswat
