#14770: Allow static pointer expressions to have static pointer free variables -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: TheKing01 | Owner: (none) Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.2.2 Resolution: | Keywords: | StaticPointers Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by facundo.dominguez): I don't understand how this works yet. Static pointers are put in the static pointer table (SPT) before the program executes. What is put in the SPT if the static form is allowed to have free variables? Before executing the program, the values of the free variables might be still unknown. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/14770#comment:1 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
