Hi, I am a newcomer to ghc-devs mailing list and I volunteer to fix this issue. Since base-4.10.0.0, the `IntPtr` and `WordPtr` are defined using `newtype` rather than `data` (as in base-4.9.1.0), is it enough for this issue that putting the following instance declarations to `Data.Data` module (with `GeneralizedNewtypeDeriving` enabled) ? {{{#!haskell deriving instance Data IntPtr deriving instance Data WordPtr }}} -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/13115#comment:4 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

Wonderful!

{{{#!haskell deriving instance Data IntPtr
deriving instance Data WordPtr }}}
Yes, I think that would work quite nicely. Feel free to ask any more questions here if they arise. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/13115#comment:5 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

The usual `DeriveDataTypeable` should do just fine I believe. Otherwise, yes. It looks like you have the right idea. Do make sure to add `@since` annotations in the Haddock documentation for the new instances. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/13115#comment:6 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
