Re: Missing instance declarations in base

Are the alignment issues for tuples not something that CPP could fix? On Mon, Jun 29, 2015 at 8:18 AM, Edward Kmett wrote:

The main problem with adding those in general is that then we have to get deeper into the business of packing and alignment. You need to add the spacers for when the second structure isn't aligned with the first, and the logic for that isn't cross-platform friendly.

Also, I wonder if () could be Storable:

instance Storable () where sizeOf _ = 0 alignment _ = 1 peek _ = return () poke _ _ = return ()

No objection from me to any of them; a very strong +1.

Btw. what about Storable (a,b) and Storable (a,b,c)?
