#8778: Typeable TypeNats --------------------------------------------+------------------------------ Reporter: dmcclean | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: ⊥ Component: Compiler (Type checker) | Version: 7.8.1-rc1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Type of failure: None/Unknown | Unknown/Multiple Test Case: | Difficulty: Unknown Blocking: | Blocked By: | Related Tickets: 4385 --------------------------------------------+------------------------------ Comment (by diatchki): I looked some more at the code, and realized that this more complex encoding is not worth the effort: we are always hashing the entire type- representation, so it does not matter how the types are encoded. Also, it looks like we are using a reasonable hashing function (MD5), and collisions for it are very unlikely so we should be OK. So, I guess we can close this ticket, unless there are any more issues? -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8778#comment:18 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
