#8813: further support deriving instances Typeable1, Typeable2, etc ----------------------------------------------+---------------------------- Reporter: maeder | Owner: Type: task | Status: closed Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: Resolution: wontfix | 7.8.1-rc1 Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Keywords: Type of failure: GHC rejects valid program | Architecture: Test Case: | Unknown/Multiple Blocking: | Difficulty: Unknown | Blocked By: | Related Tickets: ----------------------------------------------+---------------------------- Comment (by simonpj): The biggest single problem is that RC1 has been out some weeks; RC2 is due today; full release next week. Moreover the person (Pedro) who was working on this area is probably heads-down on his ICFP submission (deadline 1 March). There was quite a bit of email traffic on this at the time all this was nailed down (months ago) and no objections. I'm honestly not sure of details of your proposal. Do you want to modify libraries only, or the compiler as well? Would you like to make a patch?
