#9079: Foreign.C.Types in haskell2010 ------------------------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: tensor5 | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: libraries/haskell2010 | Version: 7.8.2 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Type of failure: None/Unknown | Unknown/Multiple Test Case: | Difficulty: Unknown Blocking: | Blocked By: | Related Tickets: ------------------------------------------+-------------------------------- Comment (by simonpj): Well, this looks to me like a bug in the [http://www.haskell.org/onlinereport/haskell2010/ Haskell 2010 report] * [http://www.haskell.org/onlinereport/haskell2010/haskellch8.html Section 8.4.2 ] says that newtypes must have their constructors visible, and claims that `Foreign.C.Types` follows this convention. * But [http://www.haskell.org/onlinereport/haskell2010/haskellch28.html Chapter 28] which shows `Foreign.C.Types` manifestly does '''not''' follow this convention. That looks like an outright contradiction. I think we should export all the data constructors in `Foreign.C.Types` in the `haskell2010` package. Does anyone disagree? Meanwhile, I'm adding Simon M to the cc list, as editor of the H2010 report. Autin: could you act on this after a suitable delay?
