#10755: Add `MonadPlus IO` and `Alternative IO` instances -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: hvr | Owner: Type: task | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.12.1 Component: Core | Version: Libraries | Keywords: report- | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple impact | Architecture: | Type of failure: None/Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Revisions: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Cloned and adapted from #9588: ---- The following 2 instances are currently Orphans in `transformers` but shall be defined in `base` instead: {{{#!hs instance MonadPlus IO instance Alternative IO }}} This proposal by SPJ already passed the CLC back in April and only needs implementing. I'll submit a patch shortly to Phab ---- This needs coordination w/ Ross as `transformers` must not define the same instances for new enough `base` versions. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10755 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
