Any easy way of comparing pointers? I mean, if I have something like Tree a = N | B (Tree a) a (Tree a) and have (l::Tree a) and (r::Tree a), can I ask about the "physical equality"?
You can! Despite the names appearing in the following code, the following is safe: -- | Equality on pointers. ptrEqual :: a -> a -> Bool ptrEqual x y = unsafePerformIO $ do nx <- makeStableName x ny <- makeStableName y return (nx==ny) Axel
