typePrimRep invariants

[Csaba Hruska]

Hi,

I'd like to export the PrimRep of every binder and data con from Haskell
modules.

I have a modified GHC 8.6 which serializes the PrimRep for every binder
during the compilation. It uses the *typePrimRep* function. When my
customised GHC compiles the base library it always thows the following
error for the *libraries/base/GHC/Err.hs*
<https://github.com/grin-tech/ghc-grin/blob/master/ghc-8.6.2/libraries/base/GHC/Err.hs>
module.

   1. Does that mean that there is hidden requirement for typePrimRep input?
   2. If so what are the restrictions?
   3. Can you see anything in the Err module source code that could not be
   a proper input for typePrimRep function?


Thanks,
Csaba
