-- BIG UGLY HACK: The desugarer special cases this module.  Despite the uses of '-XParallelArrays',
--                the desugarer does not load 'Data.Array.Parallel' into its global state. (Hence,
--                the present module may not use any other piece of '-XParallelArray' syntax.)
--
--                This will be cleaned up when we change the internal represention of '[::]' to not
--                rely on a wired-in type constructor.

-- Representation of parallel arrays

-- Vanilla representation of parallel Haskell based on standard GHC arrays that is used if the
-- vectorised is /not/ used.

data [::] e = PArr !Int (Array# e)

type PArr = [::]   -- this synonym is to get access to '[::]' without using the special syntax
