#9655: Do not UNPACK strict fields that are very wide -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: simonpj | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.8.3 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Unknown/Multiple | Difficulty: Unknown Type of failure: | Blocked By: None/Unknown | Related Tickets: Test Case: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by jwlato): Ah, thanks for this ticket, I think it's a good idea. Unfortunately my code isn't using `-funbox-strict-fields`. To double-check I tried adding a `{-# NOUNPACK #-}` on the wide strict field and the behavior didn't change, so I think something else is going on with my code. But I do think the suggested behavior is more sensible, I usually avoid `-funbox- strict-fields` because I don't want types like this auto-unboxed. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9655#comment:4 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
