#10064: Add support for "foo"## literals to MagicHash -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: chadaustin | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.8.4 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Type of failure: None/Unknown | Unknown/Multiple Blocked By: | Test Case: Related Tickets: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by chadaustin): Hi! I don't think it's exactly the same as #5218 since I don't specifically need ByteStrings here, just a quick Int#, Addr# pair. But #5218 could definitely be implemented on top of a mechanism that desugars to this (e.g. unpackCStringLen "my literal"##). If you'd like to merge the bugs, that's fine with me, as long as there's a way to get at some machinery to generate string length Int#s at compile time. :) -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10064#comment:3 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
