Re: [Haskell-cafe] Re: could we get a Data instance for Data.Text.Text?

Hello, I have attached a new version that should work with GHC 6.10, though I have not tested it. The older Data.Data uses mkNorepType instead of mkNoRepType. I just changed the patch to use the older spelling. In GHC >= 6.12 this will issue a warning that the old spelling has been deprecated. This seems like a reasonable fix as long as text drops support for GHC 6.10 before mkNorepType is completely removed from Data.Data (which may never happen?): Here is the bug: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/2760 Also, this patch still won't work with GHC < 6.10, is that ok? I also noticed in the containers package, there are #ifdefs around the Data instances: #if __GLASGOW_HASKELL__ ... #endif Should I add that as well? Or is text only supported under GHC anyway? - jeremy On Tue, Feb 2, 2010 at 12:03 AM, Bryan O'Sullivan wrote:

Attached.

Data/Text.hs:175:63: Module `Data.Data' does not export `mkNoRepType'

Can you send a followup patch that works against GHC 6.10.4, please?
