Friends
I’ve pushed a big patch that adds –fwarn-redundant-constraints (on by default). It tells you when a constraint in a signature is unnecessary, e.g.
f :: Ord a => a -> a -> Bool
f x y = True
I think I have done all the necessary library updates etc, so everything should build fine.
Four libraries which we don’t maintain have such warnings (MANY of them in transformers) so I’m ccing the maintainers:
o containers
o haskeline
o transformers
o binary
I'd like to update binary to not have any unnecessary constraints. I couldn't find any though. commit c409b6f30373535b6eed92e55d4695688d32be9e removes unnecessary constraints from ghc maintained libraries, and silences the redundant-constraints warnings from the other libraries containers, haskeline and transformers. I couldn't find anything related to binary though, nor any warnings in the build log. If there are any, please let me know, or file a bug at http://github.com/kolmodin/binary Thanks! Lennart
Enjoy!
Simon
