#13090: Expose all unfoldings of overloaded functions by default -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: mpickering | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.2.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 8.0.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Phab:D2929 Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by rwbarton): I'm not sure I agree with either * Users expect their overloaded functions to be specialised at call sites or * A more sensible default is to [copy the code of every overloaded function into every module which uses it once for every time at which it is used] I would be more worried about the effects on program size and compile time than on interface file size. Maybe instead an opt-in flag `-fexpose-all- overloaded-unfoldings`? -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/13090#comment:1 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
