#14030: Implement the "Derive Lift instances for data types in template-haskell" proposal -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: RyanGlScott | Owner: (none) Type: task | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.4.1 Component: Template | Version: 8.3 Haskell | Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: None/Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Back in September 2015, I [https://mail.haskell.org/pipermail/libraries/2015-September/026117.html proposed] using the `DeriveLift` extension to, well, derive `Lift` instance for data types in the `template-haskell` library. The proposal was well received, but I was unable to implement it at the time due to `DeriveLift`'s newness (having only been introduced in GHC 8.0). Now that GHC 8.0 is the oldest version of GHC that we support bootstrapping with, this is no longer an obstacle. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/14030 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
