#11366: Control.Exception.assert should perhaps take an implicit call stack -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: bgamari | Owner: Type: task | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.0.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 7.10.3 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 gridaphobe): To clarify, there are two kinds of rewriting that happen with `assert`. 1. Adding the source location. 2. Eliminating the assertion from "production" code. (1) is possible with implicit CallStacks, and is already done that way, (2) is a separate issue for which we don't have a more principled mechanism. But maybe we do, what about a rewrite rule? Those only fire when optimizations are enabled. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11366#comment:2 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
