#10691: certain operations in new integer-gmp are too lazy -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: rwbarton | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: libraries | Version: 7.10.1 (other) | Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Type of failure: Incorrect result | Unknown/Multiple at runtime | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Revisions: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by hvr): Bummer... I put quite some effort to model the `Integer` type to allow for such case-analysis for being able to avoid allocations and FFI calls in case of operations with absorbing elements... :-/ I wonder if and how `nofib` will regress if e.g. `0` doesn't shortcut anymore... However, I'd rather expect this to be fixed in the `Num` instance rather than crippling `integer-gmp` -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10691#comment:1 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
