#10886: Remove the magic from `Any` -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: goldfire | Owner: goldfire Type: task | Status: closed Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.2.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 7.10.2 Resolution: fixed | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Phab:D2049 Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by thomie): This should probably be mentioned in release notes and migration guide. This breaks for example the `constraints` package (it uses `Any` from `Prim`). These kind of little breakages are annoying, and seem so unnecessary. Can we do something about it? A suggestion: * Rename `GHC.Prim` to something else, and make `GHC.Prim` a backward compatible module that exports `GHC.Exts` (including `Any` and `Constraints` for example). This seems less work than replacing `GHC.Prim` to `GHC.Exts` across hackage. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10886#comment:8 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
