#12970: Add default implementation for Bits.bitSize -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: txnull | Owner: dfeuer Type: feature request | Status: patch Priority: high | Milestone: 8.4.1 Component: libraries/base | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Phab:D3723 Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Changes (by dfeuer): * status: upstream => patch * differential: => Phab:D3723 Comment: I've submitted Phab:D3723 to remove `bitSize`. My only question is whether we should add it back as a function {{{#!hs bitSize :: FiniteBitSize a => a -> Int bitSize = finiteBitSize }}} to reduce unnecessary breakage. This only goes so far; module import lines may need to be changed to fix old code. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12970#comment:7 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
