[GHC] #8330: Remove ExtsCompat46 module once we bootstrap with GHC 7.8
#8330: Remove ExtsCompat46 module once we bootstrap with GHC 7.8 -------------------------------------------+------------------------------- Reporter: jstolarek | Owner: Type: task | Status: new Priority: low | Milestone: 7.10.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 7.7 Keywords: | Operating System: Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Unknown/Multiple Difficulty: Easy (less than 1 hour) | Type of failure: Blocked By: | None/Unknown Related Tickets: | Test Case: | Blocking: -------------------------------------------+------------------------------- Changing type signature of comparison primops from `Bool` to `Int#` in GHC 7.8 (see #6135) caused a problem: type signatures of functions might be different for the bootstrapping compiler (if it is older than 7.8) than they are for the stage1 compiler. In order to solve this problem I introduced a compatibility module [[GhcFile(compiler/utils/ExtsCompat46)]] that provides different definition of primops for older versions of GHC (`__GLASGOW_HASKELL__ <= 706`) and different for newer versions (`__GLASGOW_HASKELL__ > 706`). However, once we set minimal version of GHC required for bootstrapping to be 7.8, we can (and should!) remove that compatibility module and go back to using GHC.Exts. This ticket is a reminder that we should do this after we release GHC 7.10 or 7.12. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8330 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
