#11526: unsafeLookupStaticPtr should not live in IO -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: edsko | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.0.1 Component: Core Libraries | Version: 8.0.1-rc1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by simonpj): Hmm. I'm deeply suspicious of `StaticKey`. It plays no role in our plan of record [wiki:StaticPointers]. If we don't have `StaticKey` the whole issue doesn't arise. I'd love to have a proper debate about [wiki:StaticPointers], based on successful execution of #11011. Would anyone like to lead on it? Meanwhile, I doubt we should mess with `unsafeLookupStaticPtr`, since other changes are in train.
If we want to make this change let's try to get it in to 8.0 before static pointers go into wide use.
I think `StaticPtr` is in 7.10, isn't it? -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11526#comment:5 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
