---------------------------------------------------+------------------------
The function (fromInteger x) in Num(Data.Word.Word64) causes a program
 error, if x is greater or equal 2^64^. This is particularly annoying when
 two valid Word64 variables are to be multiplied.

 Take for instance
 {{{
 Data.Word> maxbound :: Word64
 18446744073709551615
 Data.Word> 2*(2^63) :: Word64

 Program error: arithmetic overflow

 Data.Word> (2^64) :: Word64

 Program error: arithmetic overflow
 }}}

 GHC and GHCi return values mod 2^64^, as Hugs does also for Word32 and
 2^32^.

 In particular, is this a Windows or a Linux question?

I think he wants a hugs binary tarball/zip that you can just untar/unzip
and use in-place.

Thanks

Build system corrupts LDFLAGS options

Hi,

I am trying to compile hugs98 with

LDFLAGS="-Wl,-Bdirect -Wl,-hashvals -Wl,-zdynsort"

While compiling OpenGL stuff, somehow it changes LDFLAGS to

-Wl -Bdirect -hashvals -zdynsort

and causes the build process to fail with the following messages:

i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc: unrecognized option `-hashvals'
i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc: unrecognized option `-zdynsort'
cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-Wl"
runhugs: Error occurred

How can I build hugs98 with these flags?

Thanks,
Fatih

Stack overflow on words (repeat 'a')

Hi

With the expression: words (repeat 'a')

Using WinHugs Sep 06 I get a stack overflow.

Using Hugs Linux May 06 I get a GC fails to reclaim sufficient space error

Using GHC and Yhc both of these succeed.

I have a similar issue in one of my functions which is showing the
same behaviour.

Thanks

Neil

assuming you've got a terminating application in mind,-) a slightly 
more interesting expression is:

    test span = span (/=' ') $ replicate 100000 'a' ++ [' ']

without optimizations, hugs is prone to fail for such deep applications
of non-tail-recursive functions like span/break, splitAt, ..

try this variation:

span p l = span' p l id
  where
  span' p []     = \c->c ([],[])
  span' p xs <at> (x:xs') 
     | p x       = span' p xs' . (\c (a,b)->c (x:a,b))
     | otherwise = \c->c ([],xs)

Re: Stack overflow on words (repeat 'a')

i should have mentioned that Prelude.span is less strict, so:

span p l = span' p l id
  where
  span' p []     = \c->c ([],[])
  span' p xs <at> (x:xs') 
     | p x       = span' p xs' . (\c (a,b)->c (x:a,b))
     | otherwise = \c->c ([],xs)

-- Prelude.span fails, span succeeds
test1 span = span (/=' ') $ replicate 1000000 'a' ++ [' ']
test2 span = span (/=' ') $ take 1000000 (cycle "abc") ++ [' ']

-- Prelude.span succeeds, span fails
test3 span = take 1000000 $ fst $ span (/=' ') $ repeat 'a'
