#9795: Debug.Trace.trace is too strict -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: jcpetruzza | Owner: Type: bug | Status: patch Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.12.1 Component: libraries/base | Version: 7.8.3 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Type of failure: None/Unknown | Unknown/Multiple Blocked By: | Test Case: Related Tickets: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: Phab:D654 -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by rwbarton): Anyways I should add that this behavior of `trace` is very surprising and should definitely be fixed. But if we're going to work around the underlying bug with a hack (which seems reasonable to me) it should be a hack that is targeted to the actual issue. For example, I imagine that some use of magic functions like `lazy` would probably get the job done. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9795#comment:5 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
