#11011: Type-indexed TypeReps, Static Pointers and Distributed Closures -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: bjmprice | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 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 bjmprice): To record a couple of my thoughts: - When RAE's nokinds branch merges, we can have kind-hetrogenous type equalitys, which would find good use in comparing `TypeRep`s - When Injective Type Families is implemented, it ''may'' be useful for reducing passing `PolyTag`s around (currently they are not used in the code, but needed, else GHC complains about not necessarily injective type families) -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11011#comment:1 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
