#9220: type roles for unboxed arrays -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: rwbarton | Owner: goldfire Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.10.1 Component: Core | Version: 7.8.1 Libraries | Keywords: Resolution: | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Operating System: | Difficulty: Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Blocked By: Type of failure: | Related Tickets: None/Unknown | Test Case: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by carter): unboxed should DEFINITELY have representational (because the heap representation of a newtyped value is guaranteed to be the saem). I think thats pretty clearly what Reid was articulating earlier, and that Storable arrays (because of the possible non uniform storable sizes) *might* be a candidate wrt off heap data, BUT that the argument might be weaker for that. Though i could be recalling this whole thing wrong. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9220#comment:17 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
