Chapter 5 of Real World Haskell
Prelude.undefined special value which allows for easy creation of stub code: ` – This compiles but causes a runtime error if you try to execute it text :: String -> Doc text str = undefined`
Bitwise Functions We also learn in Chapter 5 that the bitwise manipulations we have come to take for granted in C, C++ and similar languages is now a library module. This is the first point at which I can see an obvious point where C++ would make more succinct and readable code than Haskell.
import Data.Bits 0x10000 `shiftR` 4 :: Int 7 .&. 2 :: Int
int i = 0x10000 >> 4; int j = 7 & 2;
It seems clear to me that if your code consists of mainly bit manipulations, C++ or C might be the logical choice.
