#12618: Add saturated constructor applications to Core -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: simonpj | Owner: nomeata Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.0.1 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: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Changes (by nomeata): * owner: => nomeata Comment: JFTR, I’m working on implementing this. Not sure if one week is enough, there seems to be an endless supplies of code paths that have a catch-all pattern match on `CoreExpr` and thus are not found by the compiler. My work is in `wip/T12618`. Stage 1 compiles, and seems to work mostly, but if I build ghc-stage2 with it, `ghc-stage2` crashes with an `internal error: evacuate(static): strange closure type 0`. If someone enjoys debugging these kind of problems, let me know... -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12618#comment:23 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
