#9732: Pattern synonyms and unboxed values -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: monoidal | Owner: cactus Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.8.3 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Unknown/Multiple | Difficulty: Unknown Type of failure: Compile- | Blocked By: time crash | Related Tickets: Test Case: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by goldfire): I would think that pattern synonyms for unlifted types ''should'' work, but with the same restrictions as normal patterns for unlifted types. That is, you can't use these patterns to define a global variable. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9732#comment:4 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
