#6135: Unboxed Booleans ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: benl | Owner: jstolarek Type: feature request | Status: patch Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.8.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 7.4.1 Keywords: | Os: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Failure: None/Unknown Difficulty: Unknown | Testcase: Blockedby: | Blocking: Related: #605 | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Comment(by jstolarek): I just had this thought: how about we use the names of existing primops for wrappers and give new names to modified primops, e.g.: {{{ gtCharW# :: Char# -> Char# -> Word# -- Primop, new name gtChar# :: Char# -> Char# -> Bool -- Wrapper, old name }}} This way the change will be backwards compatible. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/6135#comment:40 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
