#12356: StaticPointers support in GHCi -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: bgamari | Owner: bgamari Type: feature request | Status: patch Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.2.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 8.0.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: #12000, #9878 | Differential Rev(s): Phab:D2504 Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by bgamari): Phab:D2504 adds limited support for `StaticPointers` in GHCi. While expressions entered at the REPL still cannot contain `static` expressions, modules loaded into the interpreter may. This should recover the majority of the convenience that one previously lost with `StaticPointers`. Note, however, that there is a bit of a memory leak as static expressions will necessarily never be unloaded, even after the module that introduced them goes out of scope. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12356#comment:9 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
