[GHC] #12586: Add types warning to Foreign.C.Types
#12586: Add types warning to Foreign.C.Types -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: Phyx- | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: | Version: 8.0.1 libraries/base | 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: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Documentation for the base types in `Foreign.C` are incorrect on Hackage. Not really incorrect but only valid for the platform for which Haddock runs. As an example it says for `CLong` {{{ newtype CLong = CLong Int64 }}} Which is Incorrect on Windows. I don't know a technical solution for this, so I'm proposing a non-technical one: Add a warning on the top of the `Foreign-C-Types` to indicate that these types may differ on various platforms. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12586 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
