#8281: The impossible happened: primRepToFFIType -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: tibbe | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: high | Milestone: 8.4.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 7.6.2 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Type of failure: Compile-time | Unknown/Multiple crash | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by simonmar): No, it doesn't apply to `foreign import prim`. Think of `foreign import prim` as declaring a primop: in principle we could implement all our primops using `foreign import prim` (except that we want to optimise by generating code directly for some of them). -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8281#comment:17 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
