#14562: IntRep vs WordRep -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: andrewthad | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.2.1 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 simonpj): I see sense in this, but I recall lots of to-and-fro about exactly when to distinguish signed (`Int`) from unsigned (`Word`) values. See particularly `Note [Signed vs unsigned]` in `cmm/CmmType`. I'm not arguing on way or another here, just mentioning that the signed/unsigned choice ripples surprisingly far. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/14562#comment:2 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
