#15526: Explain or remove mystery import in Unsafe.Coerce -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: dfeuer | Owner: (none) Type: task | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.8.1 Component: Core | Version: 8.4.3 Libraries | Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: Other Unknown/Multiple | Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- `Unsafe.Coerce` has the line {{{#!hs import GHC.Integer () -- for build ordering }}} It is not at all clear to me why build ordering demands that `GHC.Integer` be compiled before `Unsafe.Coerce` when the latter uses no numeric literals, no arithmetic, and no numeric types. If there's a real reason for this, the comment should be expanded. Otherwise, the import should be removed. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/15526 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
