Known bugs and limitations in O'Hugs 0.5
- Subtype constraints in type annotations are not yet
supported.
- Only a rudimentary module system is implemented.
- In other respects, O'Hugs is Haskell 1.3 rather than
Haskell 98 compliant.
- The description of computing environments in the survey and the examples section
is no
longer 100% consistent with the implementation. See the new
documentation
pages instead.
- Tk errors abort the interpreter.
- Strings are not properly quoted when passed to Tk (try open
frame.bitmap in
tkExamples/tix/Source.hs).
- Record stuffing for parameterized types with no selectors does not
work properly.
- The MacOS GUI is premature, and the Tk library still doesn't
work on this platform.
- The Windows version is flaky. Cygwin or Visual C++ 6.0
can be used to compile, but
TCP/UDP and the Tix
extension of Tk only works under
Cygwin.
(Input from Windows gurus is most welcome!)
