#7995: module Pretty's "text/str" rule doesn't fire -----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- Reporter: parcs | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Component: Compiler Version: 7.7 | Keywords: Os: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Failure: None/Unknown | Blockedby: Blocking: | Related: -----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- Comment(by parcs): I can think of two solutions: 1) Mark `Pretty.text` as `NOINLINE` to ensure that the "text/str" rule has a chance to fire and that `Pretty.text` doesn't get inlined into the unfolding of `Outputable.text`. This solution has the caveat that `Pretty.text` can no longer get inlined. 2) Add a corresponding "text/str" rule on `Outputable.text` and mark both `Pretty.text` and `Outputable.text` as `NOINLINE [0]` (to ensure that the rules get a chance to fire). -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7995#comment:2 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
