File strict.cabal of Package ghc-strict

Name:           strict
Version:        0.5
x-revision:     1
Synopsis:       Strict data types and String IO.
Category:       Data, System
Description:
    This package provides strict versions of some standard Haskell data
    types (pairs, Maybe and Either). It also contains strict IO operations.
    .
    It is common knowledge that lazy datastructures can lead to space-leaks.
    This problem is particularly prominent, when using lazy datastructures to
    store the state of a long-running application in memory. One common
    solution to this problem is to use @seq@ and its variants in every piece of
    code that updates your state. However a much easier solution is to use
    fully strict types to store such state values. By \"fully strict types\" we
    mean types for whose values it holds that, if they are in weak-head normal
    form, then they are also in normal form. Intuitively, this means that
    values of fully strict types cannot contain unevaluated thunks.
    .
    To define a fully strict datatype, one typically uses the following recipe.
    .
    1. Make all fields of every constructor strict; i.e., add a bang to
    all fields.
    .
    2. Use only strict types for the fields of the constructors.
    .
    The second requirement is problematic as it rules out the use of
    the standard Haskell 'Maybe', 'Either', and pair types. This library
    solves this problem by providing strict variants of these types and their
    corresponding standard support functions and type-class instances.
    .
    Note that this library does currently not provide fully strict lists.
    They can be added if they are really required. However, in many cases one
    probably wants to use unboxed or strict boxed vectors from the 'vector'
    library (<http://hackage.haskell.org/package/vector>) instead of strict
    lists.  Moreover, instead of @String@s one probably wants to use strict
    @Text@ values from the @text@ library
    (<http://hackage.haskell.org/package/text>).
    .
    This library comes with batteries included; i.e., mirror functions and
    instances of the lazy versions in @base@. It also includes instances for
    type-classes from the @deepseq@, @binary@, and @hashable@ packages.
