#14401: Add a test ensuring that TypeReps can be stored in compact regions -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: dfeuer | Owner: (none) Type: task | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.2.2 Component: Test Suite | Version: 8.2.1 Keywords: Typeable | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: None/Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- My work thus far on Phab:D4085 has involved `TypeRep`s with cyclical structure. That bit me in `break011` and `break024` because `:force` doesn't work with cyclical structures. This would also have caused trouble for storing `TypeRep`s in compact regions. If we eventually make `:force` work with cyclical structures (see #14400), then cyclical `TypeRep`s won't break the test suite but might break user code using compact regions. So let's test for that. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/14401 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
