#10460: Allow foreign prim to return Any -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: ezyang | Owner: ezyang Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.12.1 Component: Compiler (Type | Version: 7.11 checker) | Keywords: Resolution: | Architecture: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: GHC rejects | Test Case: valid program | Blocking: Blocked By: | Differential Revisions: Related Tickets: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by simonpj): Sorry I think I was mixed up. A `foreign prim` is always `unsafe`, isn't it. And you are only proposing to add `Any` as a possible result for `foreign prim` not for other `foreign` declarations, correct? So my third bullet is irrelevant. There's a missing close-paren in the (welcome) doc fix.
