This package provides a deepseq function analogous to seq, except that it
traverses the entire data structure, evaluating it fully, and not just up to
head normal form.
Using lists as an example:
Whereas with deepseq:
Unlike the deepseq package, this implementation is based on the
GHC.Generics framework as found in GHC >= 7.2, so that it can generate
instances automatically for any datatype that has a Generic instance,
without further code.
Changes in version 2.0.0.0:
Vastly improved performance. As a consequence of these changes, the member function of the DeepSeq class is now rnf, instead of deepseq.
New instances for functions, Ratio and Complex types.
Changes in version 2.0.1.0:
Fix the U1 and V1 instances.
Changes in version 2.0.1.1:
No functional changes, updated to correct the URLs of the repository and the issue tracker.
