#10824: Strict let-bindings are processed backwards -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: ezyang | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.10.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Revisions: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by simonpj): I don't think we should offer any guarantee for what happens in this case. Our [http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/people/simonpj/papers /imprecise-exn.htm imprecise-exceptions paper] says why. I'm not against making the by-default behaviour a bit more intuitive but I don't think we should specify an evaluation order. So I suggest "invalid" here. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10824#comment:2 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
