Re: [Haskell-cafe] ghc-9.2.1 unboxed types compatibility

6 Nov 2021


      Well, maybe, but I have seen this in :

base16-bytestring
basement
streaming-commons
iproute
hashtables

So it seems quite widespread… especially as a number of common libraries depend on these (persistent for example)

BTW there are a number of patches in headhackage for these

A significant number of libraries are broken by the changes in unboxed types.
I have seen some breakage because of W# vs. W32#. But I suspect that those
libraries do not really need to be implemented that low-level.
