id

v1497
Hugs> [Just (2+3), Nothing]
[Just 5,Nothing]</PRE

Another feature of the built-in printer is its treatment of failures
(or exceptions).
Normally, an exception causes immediate failure of the expression:
<PRE

Hugs> 1 + 2/0
Program error: divide by zero
Hugs> [1, 2 + error "foo", 3]

<PRE
CLASS="SCREEN"
>Hugs> :set -u
Hugs> [1, 2 + error "foo", 3]
[1,{error "foo"},3]</PRE
>
Sometimes a component could produce one of two or more exceptions,

Note that even the most trivial evaluation involves several reductions and
cells, because Hugs wraps the expression in code to print the value and
catch exceptions:
<PRE
CLASS="SCREEN"
>Hugs> True
True
(25 reductions, 46 cells)</PRE

Note that the cell count measures the total amount of allocation,
rather than the number of cells in use at any time
(the <SPAN
CLASS="emphasis"
><I
CLASS="EMPHASIS"
>residency</I
></SPAN
>).
For that, the <A
HREF="options.html#OPTION-PRINT-GC"
><CODE

option may be more useful.
In general these statistics cannot be safely used for much more than
spotting general trends.</P

This can be useful for analysing the <I
CLASS="FIRSTTERM"
>residency</I
> of an
algorithm, the amount of memory it is actually using at each point in time.
For example,
<PRE
CLASS="SCREEN"
>Hugs> :set +g
Hugs> length [1..60000]
{{Gc:237618}}{{Gc:237617}}{{Gc:237616}}{{Gc:237623}}{{Gc:237621}}
{{Gc:237628}}{{Gc:237623}}{{Gc:237618}}60000</PRE
>
We see that the computation creates a lot of cells, but the number recovered
on each garbage collection is roughly the same, so its residency is constant.
In contrast, with
<PRE
CLASS="SCREEN"
>Hugs> let xs = [1..60000] in sum xs `div` length xs
{{Gc:237510}}{{Gc:213862}}{{Gc:190948}}{{Gc:170500}}{{Gc:152225}}
{{Gc:135925}}{{Gc:121350}}{{Gc:108350}}{{Gc:96750}}{{Gc:86375}}
{{Gc:77125}}{{Gc:68860}}{{Gc:61490}}{{Gc:72948}}{{Gc:97265}}
{{Gc:129688}}{{Gc:172916}}{{Gc:230551}}30000</PRE
>
we see that the amount reclaimed by each garbage collection is steadily
falling until a certain point (because the original list is retained).
These examples use the default heap size of 250000 cells;
this may be changed with the
<A
HREF="options.html#OPTION-HEAP-SIZE"
><CODE
CLASS="OPTION"
>-h</CODE
></A

>Since these garbage collection messages will be unpredictably interleaved
