#15935: TYPE is not generated by genprimops -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: davide | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Core | Version: 8.6.2 Libraries | Keywords: GHC.Magic | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple TYPE haddock GHC.Prim genprimops | Architecture: | Type of failure: None/Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- During validation, GHC.Magic must build without warning, and must also type check with Haddock without warnings. This causes some awkwardness in GHC.Magic (see the comment above the imports regarding genprimops) because TYPE is exported from GHC.Prim and reexported by GHC.Types. We are forced to explicitly import it via GHC.Types (and not from GHC.Prim to avoid an unused import warnings). Importing via GHC.Prim would not type check with Haddock as genprimops doesn't generate TYPE for GHC.Prim. This issue surfaced in patch D5312. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/15935 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
