Please review #369: Add sumToTag# primop, Shepherd: Eric

Dear Committee, this is your secretary speaking: Add sumToTag# primop has been proposed by David Feuer https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/369 https://github.com/treeowl/ghc-proposals/blob/sum-to-tag/proposals/0000-sum-... I’ll propose Eric Seidel as the shepherd. Please guide us to a conclusion as outlined in https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals#committee-process Thanks, Joachim -- Joachim Breitner mail@joachim-breitner.de http://www.joachim-breitner.de/

Hi all, I have recommended acceptance of this proposal. It's a simple addition that fills what appears to be a gap in our API around unboxed sums (we already provide `dataToTag#` for lifted types). Please take a look. https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/369 Thanks! Eric On Thu, Oct 22, 2020, at 03:31, Joachim Breitner wrote:

The wording of the specification section is still a bit awkward, in my
opinion. Other than that, I'm fine with the proposal.

Hi all, This proposal has been lingering for a while in an all-but-accepted state (thanks Joachim for the nudge!). We had a couple of suggestions to improve the wording of the specification that the author has not responded to. Since they don't affect the content of the proposed change, I suggest we just merge the PR with the suggested improvements. Eric On Thu, Oct 29, 2020, at 09:30, Richard Eisenberg wrote:

Hi Eric, that’s reasonable. I don’t think the authors “own” the PR in a strong sense, and fixes that come out of the committee deliberations can be applied before merging without their final approval. It’s still nice to wait and see if they like it, but not for too long. Unless they unticked a box, you should be able to commit to their branch. Let me know when the PR is ready!
