mkName problem
by Tomasz Zielonka 07 Oct '05

07 Oct '05

Hello! The attached code shows a behaviour which I don't understand. This could be a bug in TH or a misunderstanding on my side. The problem is that dynamically bound Names made with mkName sometimes "don't see" the variable. See the code for details. It could be a bit shorter, but I wanted to show why I cat't use the 'var syntax. Try to --make T, then uncomment the marked line in T.hs . Best regards Tomasz

record accessor names
by Rene de Visser 25 Jul '05

25 Jul '05

Hello, Am I correct in thinking that with reify that I can not find the names of the read/write accessors rel1 and rel2 from the following? data SmallDB = SmallDB { rel1 :: Set.Set String , rel2 :: Set.Set Integer } deriving Show I thought about quoting the above and splicing it in, but as you can't quote and splice back into the same module and due to type dependencies this could result in a mess of recursive modules. I also though of generating the above from a union type. i.e. using data SmallDB = DBREL1 String | DBREL2 Integer to generate the above. Then I would know the names of the accessors. However I think it is not possible to have type dependencies based on data constuctors? Actually, is this what GADT's allow one to do? Does template haskell support GADT's`? i.e. with reify and syntax structure wise? Rene.

reify: how to show the result.
by Rene de Visser 19 Jul '05

19 Jul '05

I guess this is easy, but I am not managing it. I have data SmallDB = SmallDB { rel1 :: Set.Set String , rel2 :: Set.Set Integer } deriving Show and wish to see the results of reify 'SmallDB which I need to evaluate this at compile time. test212 data_con = do; (DataConI _ typ _ _) <- runQ (reify data_con); print typ test214 data_con = do; string <- runIO $ test212 data_con; return string Which I now need to splice in test213 = $(test214 'SmallDB) so that I can run test213 to see the result. How do I write test214 so that it has the correct result type? What does report do? Can I use it to print out the result? Why does the Info type not support the type class show? Rene.

RE: [Template-haskell] Profiling with Template Haskell, again
by Simon Marlow 11 Jul '05

Also, you need to compile each module in the program twice: once unprofiled, for running TH splices, and once profiled for the final executable. We'd probably need some new flags to GHC to handle this. The TH linker needs to know to link in the unprofiled object files, but the compilation manager needs to generate profiled object files, so we need two separate object suffices. We already have -osuf, so perhaps we need -th-osuf (and hence -th-hisuf). But that's not all. You could get into trouble if the .hi files differed between the profiled and unprofiled versions of modules, because GHC assumes they're the same. I haven't thought through exactly what could go wrong if they're different, but we're definitely on shaky ground here. Compiling without optimisation will probably be necessary, but then that degrades the usefulness of profiling.

RE: [Template-haskell] Avoiding linking final executable to TH
by Simon Peyton-Jones 11 Jul '05

11 Jul '05

Einar raises another TH-linking question: how to avoid linking the TH libraries (which are needed at compile time) into the runtime executable. The difficulty is that GHC doesn't know for sure that you aren't going to need the libraries at runtime too. If you do a batch link step ghc -o foo This.o That.o Main.o -package mylib does that work ok? Is the problem only with --make? I'm reluctant to have two kinds of imports. Other ideas welcome. Better still, someone willing to take up the cudgels. Again, once the specification is clear, we can offer guidance.

Here's a Template Haskell problem. When compiling with -prof, you want to link with *profiled* libraries for the final executable, but with *ordinary, unprofiled* libraries for the TH libs that are linked with GHC itself. There is nothing truly hard about implementing this, but it's fiddly. This message has been sitting in my mailbox for more than two months, so I'm plainly not getting to it. To unblock, would anyone like to volunteer to have a go? I can tell you where to look.
