------------------------------------------- nullAddr# fix for the HEAD ------------------------------------------- *** DO NOT MERGE *** nullAddr# is simply a name for (Lit nullAddrLit). Up to now it has been a PrimOp with the rather stange type nullAddr# :: Int# -> Addr# which discards its argument. (I think the problem with nullary primops is to do with the top-level bindings in PrelPrimOpWrappers.) And there was a RULE in PrelRules to rewrite nullAddr _ ==> nullAddrLit It's excessive to make it a PrimOp. We can just treat it like unsafeCoerce#, which is made in MkId.lhs. So I've done that, and given it the more sensible type nullAddr# :: Addr# I fixed all the occurrences I could find.
