#8697: Type rationals -------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Reporter: MikeIzbicki | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.6.3 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Difficulty: Unknown Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Comment (by carter): @mike, you could actually use template haskell to write generate type rationals pretty easily. It should also work with 7.6 and earlier ones, though there may be a few corner cases in older ghcs something like $(makeRatType 7/8) with makeRatType :: Rational -> Q Type being suitably defined. Have you tried out doing that as a near term solution? -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8697#comment:3 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
