#12892: Improve type safety in the RTS -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: dobenour | Owner: Type: task | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Runtime | Version: 8.0.1 System | 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: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- The RTS must (by virtue of its job) be type unsafe, but it doesn't need to be gratuitously so. Currently, there are a lot of dubious conversions, pointer casts that cast away `const`, and other questionable practices. This task covers improving the RTS's type safety. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12892 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
