PeriodData's use of Int keys caused wrong results with periodic
reports involving dates outside the machine-specific limits of Int.
Those were:
64 bits: -25252734927764696-04-22..25252734927768413-06-12
32 bits: -5877752-05-08..5881469-05-27
16 bits: 1769-02-28..1948-08-04
8 bits: 1858-07-12..1859-03-24
32 bits is supported by MicroHS; 16 and 8 bits aren't supported by
any known haskell version, but that could change in future.
For example, on 64 bit machines we got:
25252734927768413-06-12 PeriodData's max date
(expenses) 1
25252734927768414-01-01 next year past PeriodData's max date
(expenses) 2
$ hledger reg -O csv --yearly
"txnidx","date","code","description","account","amount","total"
"0","-25252734927764696-11-10","","","expenses","1","1"
Now it uses Integer (like the time package), fixing the bug.
And benchmarking shows memory and time usage slightly improved
(surprisingly; tested with up to 500 subperiods, eg
hledger -f examples/10ktxns-1kaccts.journal reg -1 cur:A -D >/dev/null)
This allows us to guarantee that the report periods are well-formed and
don't contain errors (e.g. empty spans, spans not contiguous, spans not
a partition).
Note the underlying representation is now for disjoint spans, whereas
previously the end date of a span was equal to the start date of the
next span, and then was adjusted backwards one day when needed.
7 is no longer considered a scary shell character.
(This appears to have been harmless, used only for formatting the
balance assertion failure message.)
* Forbid solving for hashtables 1.3
On modern gccs, this sometimes causes build failures, see
https://github.com/gregorycollins/hashtables/issues/97
* Propagate constraint to package.yaml too
* stack98: include valid hashtables version
* stack92: add valid hashtables version
* stack94: add valid hashtables version
* stack96: add valid hashtables version
System.IO.hGetContents' was the latest paper cut; I could keep
supporting ghc 8.10.7, or at least 9.0-9.4, released 2021-2023;
but feck it. Debian Stable has 9.6 and this time can be better spent.
