#14357: Document deriving strategies fully -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: nomeata | Owner: (none) Type: task | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Documentation | Version: 8.2.1 Resolution: | Keywords: deriving 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 nomeata): Yes, maybe that’d be sufficient. I think I’d also like to know which stock instances are derived as such for newtypes, and which are derived by using the newtype strategy, but I guess that information can also be found (“C is not Read, Show, Typeable, or Data. These classes should not “look through” the type or its constructor. You can still derive these classes for a newtype, but it happens in the usual way, not via this new mechanism.”). So maybe, all the information is already present in the manual, in which case the reference to the wiki can be removed? -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/14357#comment:4 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
