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. |
