#10512: Generic instances missing for Int32, Word64 etc. -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: andreas.abel | Owner: ekmett Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Core Libraries | Version: 7.10.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Type of failure: None/Unknown | Unknown/Multiple Blocked By: | Test Case: Related Tickets: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by dreixel): I'm actually not too sure that this is the right thing to do. In fact, I've wondered if we shouldn't *remove* all the instances for base types altogether. They don't really add much, do they? Generic functions typically require ad-hoc instances for base types, so it doesn't help to have these instances. Perhaps the only reason is the meta-data... -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10512#comment:2 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
