#7015: Add support for 'static' -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: edsko | Owner: Type: feature | Status: patch request | Milestone: 7.10.1 Priority: normal | Version: 7.4.2 Component: Compiler | Keywords: Resolution: | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Operating System: | Difficulty: Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Blocked By: Type of failure: | Related Tickets: None/Unknown | Test Case: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: Phab:D119 | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by simonpj): I have spent most of this afternoon writing up some thoughts about StaticPtr and serialisation. Here is the result: [blog:simonpj/StaticPointers] I would be very interested in your thoughts. Special thanks to Neil Mitchell who put up with several hours of blather on the way home from ICFP. I did this by writing something new, rather than by editing [wiki:StaticPointers], because I didn't want to Utterly Rewrite the latter. For now you can compare the two. Ultimately we should combine them. Simon -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7015#comment:29 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
