Replace forkOnIO with forkOn

Question

Replace forkOnIO with forkOn

UnkindPartition opened this issue 11 years ago · comments

forkOnIO has been deprecated since GHC 7.2, and removed in GHC HEAD.

I can prepare a patch if you wish, but I'm not sure whether it is considered sufficient simply to replace forkOnIO with forkOn, or if we should put CPP guards to ensure compatibility with old GHCs (<= 7.0.x, I guess).

Thanks, good point! I think it's ok to drop support for GHC 7.0. Now, it looks like even Debian stable is past that.
