#13146: Doc for RealWorld refers to non-existent "ptrArg" -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: chris-martin | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Prelude | Version: 8.0.1 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: Documentation Unknown/Multiple | bug Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- The haddock for `RealWorld` says:

`RealWorld` is deeply magical. It is ''primitive'', but it is not ''unlifted'' (hence `ptrArg`). We never manipulate values of type `RealWorld`; it's only used in the type system, to parameterise `State#`.

The "(hence `ptrArg`)" doesn't seem to make any sense. There is no identifer named `ptrArg` anywhere in the GHC repository. Is this a typo, or a reference to something that no longer exists? -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/13146 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
