6.8.1 SpecConstr failures and stream fusion successes

2007-11-27 Thread Don Stewart
** This is a plea to release ghc 6.8.2 soon, since the SpecConstr breakage in ghc 6.8.1 is killing the stream-fusion library ** I was handed some code by Eric Mertens used in a competition, and he wondered if it would go any faster with some stream fusion. It is quite list heavy, so I was hopeful.
