#9214: UNPACK support for sum types ------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: mojojojo | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.8.2 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Type of failure: None/Unknown Difficulty: Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | ------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Currently the pragma only supports single-constructor types. So in the following example it will simply be ignored: {{{ data A = A1 Char | A2 {-# UNPACK #-} !B data B = B1 Int | B2 Bool }}} However the problem seems to be easily solvable by denormalizing the type {{{A}}} to something like the following during unpacking: {{{ data A = A1 Char | A2_1 Int | -- from B1 A2_2 Bool -- from B2 }}} -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9214> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

[GHC] #9334: Implement "instance chains"

#9334: Implement "instance chains" -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: diatchki | Owner: diatchki Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler (Type | Version: 7.9 checker) | Differential Revisions: Keywords: | Architecture: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Difficulty: Unknown Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- It would be useful to implement a version of "instance chains" [1] in GHC, which would eliminate the need for OVERLAPPING_INSTANCES in most (all practcial?) programs. The idea is that programmers can explicitly group and order instances into an "instance chain". For example: {{{ instance (Monad m) => StateM (StateT s m) s where ... else (MonadTrans t, StateM m s) => StateM (t m) s where ... }}} When GHC searches for instances, the instances in a chain are considered together and in order, starting with the first one: 1. If the goal matches the current instance's head, then this instance is selected and the rest are ignored, as if they were not there; 2. If the goal does not match the current instance's head, AND it does not unify with the current instance's head, then we skip the instance and proceed to the next member of the chain; 3. If the goal does not match the current instance's head, but it does unify with it, then we cannot use this chain to solve the goal. In summary: earlier instances in a chain "hide" later instances, and later instances can be reached only if we are sure that none of the previous instance will match.

For a novice (I'm not one but it just tripped me up) this would be incredibly baffling (it was for me), it would be nice to see a warning for this at the least. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12002> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
