#15535: Expose the StableName constructor -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: dfeuer | Owner: (none) Type: feature | Status: new request | Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.8.1 Component: Core | Version: 8.4.3 Libraries | Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: None/Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- A `StableName` is just a wrapper around `StableName#`, but we don't reveal that anywhere. That means that user code needs to use `unsafeCoerce` to convert between `StableName` and `StableName#`, which seems terrible. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/15535 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
