#7897: MakeTypeRep fingerprints be proper, robust fingerprints -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: simonpj | Owner: (none) 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 | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by adamgundry): Another use case for this is in the `safecopy` package (see https://github.com/acid-state/acid- state/issues/102#issuecomment-426327014), where it would be useful to be able to notice that the developer has changed a type used for binary serialization purposes. That said, perhaps a TH/Generics solution would be possible, so it may not be worth changing the current semantics of fingerprints. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7897#comment:8 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
