Currently the pragma only supports single-constructor types. So in the following example it will simply be ignored:
data A =
A1 Char |
A2 {-# UNPACK #-} !B
data B =
B1 Int |
B2 Bool
However it seems to be easily solvable by changing the type A
to something like the following during unpacking:
data A =
A1 Char |
A2_1 Int | -- from B1
A2_2 Bool -- from B2
Am I missing something? Why is it not implemented?
