Hi.
I'm pleased to announce my new little library, data-dword[1]. It
provides Template Haskell utilities for defining binary word data types
from low and high halves, e.g.
data Word96 = Word96 Word32 Word64 -- strictness is configurable
data Int96 = Int96 Int32 Word64
-- All instances are fully implemented (including `quotRem`, etc)
instance Bounded, Enum, Eq, Integral, Num, Ord, Read,
Real, Show, Ix, Bits, Hashable
-- Extra bit-manipulating functions, unwrapped addition and
-- multiplication, etc.
instance BinaryWord, DoubleWord
-- Rewrite rules for converting to/from the standard integral types
{-# RULES "fromIntegral/..." ... #-}
The library comes with a pretty thorough test suite (that ATM has some
failures on x86-32 due to bug #7233[2] in the base library).
