yhi talks about a "haskell class file"
Hello all Yhc'ers, Here is a quick terminal session from my Mac OS X 10.4: Thorkil-Naurs-Computer:~/tn/test/Yhc/classfile thorkilnaur$ yhi yhi: The York Haskell Interpreter version 0.7.0-20070207134437-custom usage: yhi [options] classfile [args] classfile - name of haskell class file to execute args - arguments to pass to haskell program options: -h --heap size - set the heap size, e.g -h 10M -stats - print statistics on the execution -v --version - print the Yhi version then exit Thorkil-Naurs-Computer:~/tn/test/Yhc/classfile thorkilnaur$ Hm ... "class file" ... ? So what is yhi anyway, a retired Java bytecode interpreter (hoho)? But seriously, should I report a (very low priority) bug or just keep quiet about it? Thanks and best regards Thorkil
Hi Thorkil
usage: yhi [options] classfile [args]
classfile - name of haskell class file to execute args - arguments to pass to haskell program
Hm ... "class file" ... ? So what is yhi anyway, a retired Java bytecode interpreter (hoho)?
When we first there were no Haskell compilers with an explicit independant bytecode format. There is however plenty of Java bytecode compilers - hence at the very beginning we stole their terminology and did take a brief look at their implementation techniques.
But seriously, should I report a (very low priority) bug or just keep quiet about it?
Report everything. Probably report it as low priority, and attach the "Beginner" flag to it - it would be a great way for people who want to start playing around the edges of Yhc/Yhi to get something small we can easily accept. Anyone who wants to patch it, just email us :) Thanks Neil
