| 2026-04-14 07:25:43 +0000 | <Milan_Vanca> | Good morning guyz! The more I read, the more confusing all sharing and evaluation is :-( |
| 2026-04-14 07:25:56 +0000 | <Milan_Vanca> | > let a = [1..3] :: [Int] in (length a :: Int) == (length a :: Int) |
| 2026-04-14 07:25:58 +0000 | <lambdabot> | True |
| 2026-04-14 07:26:26 +0000 | <monochrom> | That example is not confusing. |
| 2026-04-14 07:26:31 +0000 | <Milan_Vanca> | Will length a be evaluated twice? In means will the list be traversed twice? |
| 2026-04-14 07:27:56 +0000 | <Milan_Vanca> | My expectation is that as "a" is same.. so "length a" must be same.. and thus it will be evaluated only once and then passed to comparsion |
| 2026-04-14 07:29:32 +0000 | <[exa]> | Milan_Vanca: in this case you don't do anything to tell the compiler to NOT evaluate it twice; but ghc may quite safely transform the code to something like `let a=[1..3] in let tmp=length a in tmp == tmp` |
| 2026-04-14 07:30:49 +0000 | leppard | (~noOne@ipservice-092-208-182-236.092.208.pools.vodafone-ip.de) (Ping timeout: 248 seconds) |
| 2026-04-14 07:31:54 +0000 | <[exa]> | Milan_Vanca: the rule of thumb is "let-bindings create exactly one thunk". Once thunks get evaluated for the first time, they are _rewritten_ to their results, so evaluating them for the second time "does nothing". Which gives you a pretty good tool to make sure the `length` isn't going to execute twice |
| 2026-04-14 07:33:26 +0000 | Sgeo | (~Sgeo@user/sgeo) (Read error: Connection reset by peer) |
| 2026-04-14 07:33:43 +0000 | <Milan_Vanca> | [exa]: Yeah.. I can follow that.. but my example bound only list to variable "let a = [1..3] :: [Int]" |
| 2026-04-14 07:33:56 +0000 | <[exa]> | that's ok, the list is going to get materialized only once |
| 2026-04-14 07:33:59 +0000 | <Milan_Vanca> | If I want to be sure it wont be evaluated twice I need to bound it myself right? |
| 2026-04-14 07:34:20 +0000 | <Milan_Vanca> | I mean "length a" |
| 2026-04-14 07:34:42 +0000 | <Milan_Vanca> | You said it "may" be evaluated once as ghc does some rewriting. |
| 2026-04-14 07:35:20 +0000 | <[exa]> | yeah there's some optimizations that are able to uniquify common sub-expressions a little, so chances are it might do this for you. But that's hard to rely upon tbh. |
| 2026-04-14 07:35:54 +0000 | <[exa]> | anyway yeah if you make a single binding for the `length a`, it should evaluate once |
| 2026-04-14 07:37:49 +0000 | <mra> | Milan_Vanca: maybe a silly question, but why does it matter if it's evaluated twice? |
| 2026-04-14 07:39:08 +0000 | <[exa]> | if the list is yuge, caching the O(n) length computation may help a lot |
| 2026-04-14 07:39:43 +0000 | <[exa]> | (ofc assuming some other use-case than `len==len` :D ) |
| 2026-04-14 07:40:02 +0000 | <Milan_Vanca> | Well for simple problems it probably does not.. for real world programming I guess it does... I would like to use ghc/haskell with real world programs |
| 2026-04-14 07:40:19 +0000 | <Milan_Vanca> | [exa]: :) |
| 2026-04-14 07:40:23 +0000 | <mra> | i guess that's true, yeah. i would expect GHC to factor out the common subexpression, but i guess relying on that may be unwise |
| 2026-04-14 07:41:50 +0000 | uli-fem | (~uli-fem@203.87.114.209) |
| 2026-04-14 07:42:07 +0000 | <Milan_Vanca> | Examples.. I want to reuse one "http_manager" across different functions.. when manager is defined as let manager = getManager settings.. I want to be sure it is not always a new manager but the old manager with cached tcp connections. |
| 2026-04-14 07:43:18 +0000 | <[exa]> | Milan_Vanca: in such case you might want to put the manager into some kind of MVar or IORef so that you can actually modify it later (assuming it doesn't do that internally) |
| 2026-04-14 07:43:31 +0000 | alter2000 | (~alter2000@user/alter2000) alter2000 |
| 2026-04-14 07:43:47 +0000 | <probie> | It pretty much never factors out the common subexpression, since doing it carelessly can introduce space leaks. The programmer already has `let` at their disposal if that's the behaviour they want. |
| 2026-04-14 07:44:02 +0000 | <monochrom> | Your example is empirically weird. (GHC 9.6.7 -O) The core code goes to the trouble of constructing [1..3] then evaluating its length. Then the answer is ignored, the code prints True without even comparing 3==3. |
| 2026-04-14 07:44:11 +0000 | <Milan_Vanca> | Or just define it and then pass it to all functions that need it? |

| 2026-04-14 07:46:25 +0000 | <mra> | that seems messier than just wrapping it in IORef |
| 2026-04-14 07:46:33 +0000 | <Milan_Vanca> | probie: So if I define top lvl function as a1 = [1..10^6] :: [Int] a2 = [1..10^6] :: [Int] there is not subexpresion elimination and in fact 2 big lists? |
| 2026-04-14 07:46:47 +0000 | <monochrom> | In general, you can rely on reuse that you manually arranged for by aliasing. But you cannot rely on optimisers not being more aggressive than you. |

| 2026-04-14 07:49:06 +0000 | <Milan_Vanca> | yeah ty |
| 2026-04-14 07:49:25 +0000 | <Milan_Vanca> | So I can use aliasing and naming to explicitly say what I want to share |
| 2026-04-14 07:49:28 +0000 | <Milan_Vanca> | got it :) |
| 2026-04-14 07:50:35 +0000 | <probie> | Milan_Vanca: In your example there are two distinct thunks. There aren't any big lists until someone starts doing something with them. Sharing those would be a bad idea if you didn't know how they were going to be used |
| 2026-04-14 07:50:49 +0000 | <monochrom> | or "take a code optimization course to learn that beyond the obvious you must start using heuristics that are full of false positives and false negatives and by the time you have 100 heuristics it begins to behave like randomized LLMs". |
| 2026-04-14 07:52:53 +0000 | <probie> | You might end up with a big list in a case where if they weren't shared, no big list ever needed to exist in memory e.g. if you've got a reference to `a1` and have evaluated `last a2` to WHNF, if they're the same list, that reference to a1 means you can't garbage collect the list spine you evaluated as part of `last a2` |
| 2026-04-14 07:53:26 +0000 | <gentauro> | I have setup emacs (I run in a terminal) with LSP to give minimalistic messages (example: Found hole: _ :: [Int] -> Int) to avoid too much "bloated" LSP stuff. However, sometimes, I would like to get the full message. Anybody know a key-combination for that? |
| 2026-04-14 07:53:28 +0000 | <probie> | If in the end, the way you use `a1` is simply something like `head a1`; you've just been carrying around a big list for absolutely no reason |

| 2026-04-14 14:35:28 +0000 | <janus> | by iterating super fast and somehow tying the language to new runtime versions, it's like the whole advantage of ' owning the platform' disappears |
