GHC.Generics-based Control.DeepSeq.rnf implementation.
This package provides a GHC.Generics
-based Control.DeepSeq.Generics.genericRnf
function which can be used for providing a rnf
implementation. See the documentation for the genericRnf
function in the Control.DeepSeq.Generics
module to get started.
The original idea was pioneered in the generic-deepseq
package (see http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/haskell-cafe/2012-February/099551.html for more information).
This package differs from the generic-deepseq
package by working in combination with the existing deepseq
package as opposed to defining a conflicting drop-in replacement for deepseq
's Control.DeepSeq
module.
Note: The ability to auto-derive via GHC.Generics
has been merged into deepseq-1.4.0.0
. This package is now still useful for writing code that's also compatible with older deepseq
versions not yet providing GHC.Generics
-support.
