#11526: unsafeLookupStaticPtr should not live in IO -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: edsko | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.0.1 Component: Core Libraries | Version: 8.0.1-rc1 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 agree that being able to capture a `StaticPtr` as plain old data that can be easily serialized, like `StaticKey`, is very useful and a more natural approach than baking this logic into the compiler/standard libraries. It would be nice if the motivation and current implementation were clearly laid out in the [[wiki:StaticPointers|Wiki page]]. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11526#comment:12 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
