#12618: Add saturated constructor applications to Core -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: simonpj | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.0.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by nomeata): There are two different things that are orthogonal: * Enforcing saturated function calls (types are calling convention etc.), which this ticket is ''not'' about about. * Here, we want to avoid storing redundant types arguments. As this can be implemented with pattern synonyms, this should be a semantically transparent change. The former is also interesting (and there is some simplicity to be gained by having both, as the arity of a function application would be determined by the function’s type), but let’s keep them separate for now. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12618#comment:14 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
