#10823: Don't mark functions with annotations as dead -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: spinda | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.12.1 Component: Template Haskell | Version: 7.10.2 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Revisions: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by goldfire): Replying to comment:14: It seems that this suggestion is equivalent to having a new pragma `{-# KEEP_ALIVE thing #-}`. Or even just `{-# KEEP_ALIVE #-}` preceding the declaration. So, my question is: why do this using `ANN`? Or, conversely, does it make sense to do ''all'' identifier specific pragmas using `ANN`? (I'm thinking of things like `INLINABLE`.) -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10823#comment:15 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
