#11650: Documentation does not mention that default definitions for Alternative(some, many) can easily blow up -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: bgamari | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Documentation | Version: 7.10.3 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by RyanGlScott): We could, although I'm not quite sure what is the best way to describe the problem (and solution). There is a [https://mail.haskell.org/pipermail /haskell-cafe/2011-December/097589.html haskell-cafe] thread from 2011 which tried to address the issue of documenting `some`/`many` more precisely, but that never seemed to reach a consensus. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11650#comment:14 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
