ekg doesn't complain when you don't give '+RTS -T'

If you start an application without enabling the statistics interface, the server doesn't really buy you much, nor does it inform you of the err. It would be nice to...

Lightweight client library; monitoring of multiple apps

So, I really like ekg right now, but one thing I've been wondering about for the past few days is if it would be possible to start an EKG server,...

Synthesis has extremely bad runtime complexity in a few key places

While working on a project, I've repeatedly encountered some odd cases with the Clash compiler that I've tried to boil down into some examples. The basic gist of it is...

Add a `BlackBox` primitive for blackboxes that trivially forward to an RTL module

I've ended up having this kind of design pop up several times where, essentially, I want to structure my overall project into two components: 1) A **shell** for my FPGA...

RFC: Improvements to the test bench interface

Here's an example of a test bench I have for something I'm working on. This is actually only a single test bench, stressing one part of the design; I have...

Comments should not be stripped from 'import' statements and language pragmas

13

Consider: ``` haskell module Foo where import Data.Monoid -- from base import Data.List -- from base ``` And then: ``` $ stylish-haskell /tmp/Foo.hs module Foo where import Data.List import Data.Monoid...

Since this now exposes a public interface, the API should be audited. In particular, I'm wary of the usage of `ssize_t` in some of the APIs.

Address any `TODO FIXME`s in the code

What it says on the tin. I'll make notes of things as I touch them up, but they should all roughly be addressed before the initial release.

Drop time 1.4 support, one day

3

It'd be nice to nuke the `-fnewtime15` flag in the `.cabal` file one day. Today is not that day. (Realistically I doubt we want to pull the trigger on this...

Compiling the benchmarks with 64bit GHC 7.10.3 is bananas

3

I noticed something like 2GB resident and _a minute_ to compile a single module, which I believe was https://github.com/well-typed/binary-serialise-cbor/blob/master/bench/Macro/PkgCereal.hs (I'll double check this). It's still pretty bad with GHC 7.8...
