#14401: Add a test ensuring that TypeReps can be stored in compact regions -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: dfeuer | Owner: (none) Type: task | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.2.2 Component: Test Suite | Version: 8.2.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Typeable 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 simonpj): Indeed. But the tail should not wag the dog. We only get a cyclic `TypeRep` in one extremely specialised situation. If that situation causes major problems elsewhere, let's revisit `TypeRep`. E.g. we could have a special `TypeRep` for `TYPE LiftedRep`. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/14401#comment:1 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
