[GHC] #11953: Export Word32#, Word64# on all architectures
#11953: Export Word32#, Word64# on all architectures -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: bgamari | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.0.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 7.10.3 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: None/Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Currently we have no always-available fixed-width primitive types. For instance, if you want a 64-bit unsigned integer you need to use `Word#` on 64-bit targets and `Word32#` otherwise. This adds a fair bit of complexity in places which really should be simple (e.g. `Data.Word`). -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11953 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

For ghc that would always been one of Word32 or Word64 sized, whichever is currently also called Word, but that's only a result of ghc specific rts and compilation strategy choices rather than being part of the language standard. A large number of current libraries make that assumption in their data structure rep and it's not guaranteed to be true at all by any specification currently. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11953#comment:2 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

I should have some more time now :) I can have a look at this issue as well (as part of [2]) [1] https://phabricator.haskell.org/D4475 [2] https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/74 -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11953#comment:8 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
