#16089: seq is not cooperating with :sprint in GHCi as expected -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: radrow | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: GHCi | Version: 8.6.3 Resolution: | Keywords: seq sprint | strictness Operating System: Linux | Architecture: Type of failure: Incorrect result | Unknown/Multiple at runtime | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: #7253, #16096 | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by dfeuer): No, the current behavior is fine when there's no type signature. GHCi turns off the monomorphism restriction by default, so `x :: Num a => [a]`. It's a function, not an updateable thunk. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/16089#comment:13 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
