#7897: MakeTypeRep fingerprints be proper, robust fingerprints -------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Reporter: simonpj | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.6.3 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Difficulty: Unknown Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Comment (by simonmar): I'll point out that the package name contains the version, so in most cases the current scheme is safe. Of course this doesn't help for the main package, but if you're serializing data from a properly packaged library, it's fine. The other problem is that !TypeReps will be currently distinguished when it would be safe to equate them. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7897#comment:4> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
