To be honest, I don't understand in detail why my patch fixes it.

Why do you think it's a bug in uniplate and not in ghc? Perhaps the change you propose simply avoid the ghc bug that is still there? (I haven't studied the patch carefully, but it looks somewhat cryptic.) -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8618#comment:8 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

We allow a library to do this, in one of two ways (one which is deprecated): 1) Add a parameter of type GHC.Types.SPEC (from ghc-prim) to the loop body. 2) (Deprecated) Annotate a type with ForceSpecConstr from GHC.Exts, and then add *that* type as a parameter to the loop body The reason #2 is deprecated is because it requires GHCi, which isn't available for things like a cross compiler using stage1. }}} So it goes something like this: * uniplate used `ForceSpecConstr` somewhere * `ForceSpecConstr` requires GHCi to run * since ghc-7.8, GHCi requires shared libraries to be built * `shared:false` disables building shared libraries * error I changed `uniplate` to use `GHC.Types.SPEC` instead of `ForceSpecConstr`, as suggested by that `Note`. I don't think I am covering up a bug in GHC here. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8618#comment:10 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
