* milestone: => 6.8
* summary: stg_uncheckedShift* not found: regression from ghc-6.6 to
ghc-6.6.1 RC 6.6.20070415 (?) => binary package
wants uncheckedShift functions to be exported
from base
* version: 6.6 => 6.7
* os: Linux => Multiple
Comment:
I don't think that these names are intended to be part of the interface of
base - not even part of the internal GHC.* "interface". Nevertheless I've
reverted the names for 6.6.1 so binary will continue to work.
However, for 6.8, it would be better to have any necessary functions
exported by GHC.Int/GHC.Word/GHC.Base/GHC.Exts/... instead. I'm not sure
if you need a word-sized unchecked shift, a 64-bit one, or something else?
(moving the bug to the 6.8 milestone as the 6.6 branch part should be
fixed now)
