#10311: package name returned from tyConPackage is garbled -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: j.waldmann | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.10.1 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: None/Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Blocked By: Test Case: | Related Tickets: Blocking: | Differential Revisions: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- I am using tyConPackage (etc.) to programmatically generate links to haddock documentation (e.g., from a typed edit widget). This is now broken: {{{ import Data.Map import Data.Typeable tyConPackage $ typeRepTyCon $ typeOf $ fromList [(1,2)] in ghc-7.8.4: "containers-0.5.5.1" in ghc-7.10.1: "conta_47ajk3tbda43DFWyeF3oHQ" }}} and I don't see how to get the actual package name.
