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.
