#10607: Auto derive from top to bottom -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: songzh | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.11 Resolution: | Keywords: deriving, Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | typeclass, auto Type of failure: None/Unknown | Architecture: Blocked By: | Unknown/Multiple Related Tickets: | Test Case: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by goldfire): To me, this looks like the perfect application of Template Haskell. Yes, this ''could'' be built into GHC, but this seems like one step too far. If you're keen on this being built-in, perhaps seek out support on mailing lists and such to see whether others agree. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10607#comment:3 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
