atomic-primops: ghc 8 support needed about haskell-lockfree HOT 7 CLOSED

Thanks, @osa1 or @DreamLinuxer, could you push this out? I'm swamped till Tues morning.

from haskell-lockfree.

I started working on this in ghc-8.0 branch, and on the way I found a GHC bug and reported here: https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11444

I'll see if there's an obvious problem to solve but otherwise we may have to wait until this is fixed, as I don't have a lot of time for this. (or maybe we can find a workaround?)

Darn, so much for the simple verison bump.

This package is actually broken even with GHC 7.8. Try to compile with --ghc-options=-dcore-lint.

OK, right now there's at least a small fix that we can do that affects all ghc-7.11.XYZ and ghc-8.1.XYZ dev builds we're doing.

This has to do with tolerance of redundant type sigs for foreign imports: 19730d6

from haskell-lockfree.

Pushed that small fix in a minor release: https://hackage.haskell.org/package/atomic-primops-0.8.0.3

from haskell-lockfree.

I'm closing this since the current version of atomic-primops supports GHC 8, and https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11444 has been dealt with separately.
