#8695: Arithmetic overflow from (minBound :: Int) `quot` (-1) ------------------------------------------------+-------------------------- Reporter: rleslie | Owner: Type: bug | Status: patch Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.8.1 Component: libraries/haskell2010 | Version: 7.6.3 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Type of failure: Incorrect result at runtime | Unknown/Multiple Test Case: | Difficulty: Blocking: | Unknown | Blocked By: | Related Tickets: #1042 ------------------------------------------------+-------------------------- Comment (by carter): rleslie, have you considered using Word rather than Int in your use case? i think this ticket raises a valid issue, and the proposal is a possibly valid one. But perhaps it should be evaluated on a slightly less compressed time scale as apart of a systematic program to incrementally improve the ghc numerical prelude and such? -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8695#comment:17 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
