#14119: Refactor type patterns -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: goldfire | Owner: (none) Type: task | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.2.1 Resolution: | Keywords: TypeInType Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: 12564, 13910, | 13938, 14038 Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by simonpj): I'm not convinced. You are proposing a counterpart to `Type`. But there is no counterpart to `Expr` in Core. Indeed, in RULEs the patterns are indeed `Expr`s. And casts in terms can indeed mess things up a bit; see `Rules.match`. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/14119#comment:6 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
