#11011: Add type-indexed type representations (`TypeRep a`) -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: bjmprice | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: 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 bgamari): I've put up some notes collected from the course of my implementation [[https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Typeable/BenGamari|here]]. At the moment I am struggling to find a design for serialization (or, more specifically, deserialization). The current scheme is described in this [[https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Typeable/BenGamari#Deserialization|section]], although the need for `unsafeCoerce` is worrying. I'd love to hear what others have to say about this. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11011#comment:26 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
