#10886: Remove the magic from `Any` -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: goldfire | Owner: goldfire Type: task | Status: closed Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.2.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 7.10.2 Resolution: fixed | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Phab:D2049 Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by goldfire): While of course it can be mentioned in the migration guide on the wiki, I specifically chose not to mention this in the release notes. (Actually, looking through the history on this ticket, Ben did the heavy lifting. Thanks, Ben. But there were other definitions that I moved out of `GHC.Prim` for 8.0.) The reason is this sentence from the module documentation on `GHC.Prim`: "Use GHC.Exts from the base package instead of importing this module directly." I thus assumed that `GHC.Prim` was entirely an internal implementation artifact and did not think a change notification was necessary. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10886#comment:9 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
