#8085: Both GHC and its installer don't run on current Debian Stable -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: ppetr | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.6.3 Keywords: | Operating System: Linux Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Type of failure: GHC doesn't work Difficulty: Easy (less than 1 | at all hour) | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Currently it's not possible to run GHC or its installer. It fails with: {{{ ghc: error while loading shared libraries: libgmp.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory }}} The problem is that the current Debian stable is Wheezy and it uses a newer version of libgmp. Proposed solution: Recompile on a recent Debian stable (Wheezy). Applies to x86_64 as well, most likely all architectures supported by Debian are affected. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8085> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

[GHC] #8391: FunDeps coverage condition check failure with PolyKinds

#8391: FunDeps coverage condition check failure with PolyKinds ----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- Reporter: sbarclay | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.7 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: GHC rejects valid program Unknown/Multiple | Test Case: Difficulty: Unknown | Blocking: Blocked By: | Related Tickets: #8356 | ----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- The following code: {{{ #!haskell {-# LANGUAGE FunctionalDependencies, FlexibleInstances, UndecidableInstances, TypeFamilies, PolyKinds #-} module FunDepsIssue where type Foo a = a class Foo a ~ b => Bar a b | a -> b instance Foo a ~ b => Bar a b }}} results in: {{{ Illegal instance declaration for ‛Bar k a b’ Multiple uses of this instance may be inconsistent with the functional dependencies of the class. In the instance declaration for ‛Bar a b’ }}} This appears to be a regression from 7.6.3, where it compiles OK. The same error occurs when the type synonym is replaced with a type family (which is the case I was originally interested in) or a type constructor like `Data.Proxy`, as long as it's poly-kinded it seems. So the following cases also fail to compile: {{{ #!haskell type family Foo (a :: k) :: * type family Foo (a :: *) :: k type family Foo (a :: k) :: k type family Foo (a :: k) :: k' }}} Looking through the source code, I think that the issue is that the coverage condition check doesn't close over kind variables, when it compares the vars on each side of the functional dependency. But `Foo a` has a hidden kind variable, so the l.h. varset `{a}` is insufficient to fix `b` using `Foo a ~ b`. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8391> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

Interface of that module, as well as its internal implementation can be improved. Right now interface places responsibility of maintaining some of the invariants on user. It also ignores differences between forward and backward analysis.
