#9526: Add missing Generic instances in base -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: nh2 | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.10.1 Component: libraries/base | Version: 7.8.3 Keywords: | Operating System: Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Unknown/Multiple Difficulty: Moderate (less | Type of failure: than a day) | None/Unknown Blocked By: | Test Case: Related Tickets: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Most primitive types (`Int`, `Char`, etc.) have a GHC.Generics.Generic instance, but some are missing, such as `Integer` and the various `Word*` data types. We should consistently have instances for all primitive types offered by base, since they are required if you want to derive a Generic instance for any type that contains them. I boldly set the milestone to 7.10 because I naively assume this should be straightforward. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9526 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
