Can you explain what you are doing that makes Integer get flattened, please?
oh, I meant that was a limitation of my backend, not ghc. jhc has primitive types for all possible c types, like uint32_t and uint16_t etc are distinct unboxed types. ghc seems to work mostly by boxing Int# and doing the appropriate bit narrowing in the library. My current solution is just to map all primitive types to Int#. even though it gives incorrect results it seems to work well enough for testing the back end. I am not sure what my long term solution will be, probably to auto-generate some ghc code to simulate all the appropriate primitives the jhc front end expects to exist.
