It is invalid because of tabs inserted into the template that cause the functions to have syntax / indenting errors. I attempted to install happy to patch it, but happy will not compile either because of the tabs. I think clang's CPP is inserting tabs into lines with > 8 spaces of indentation. Also the comment lines in the template of this form are invalid for clang and cause it to fail. {{{ # 5 comment }}} -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8493> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

#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

I think GHCi should at least warn that providing a version does not work.

[GHC] #8556: Invalid constructor names are accepted in data declarations

#8556: Invalid constructor names are accepted in data declarations ------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: dolio | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.6.3 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Type of failure: None/Unknown Difficulty: Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | ------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Earlier today, someone was asking on #haskell why the constructor name {{{(^)}}} wouldn't work in GADT definitions. My response was that {{{(^)}}} isn't a constructor name, but much to my surprise, GHC accepts such names in a regular data declaration: {{{ data Foo = F | (^^^^) Int Int }}} This creates a {{{Foo}}} type and value constructor {{{F}}}, but no value constructor {{{(^^^^)}}}. However, in 7.6.3, if DataKinds are enabled, both constructors appear at the type level. In HEAD, the same definition is accepted, with only {{{F}}} existing at the value level, as before. But at the type level, both {{{F}}} and {{{(^^^^)}}} just generate errors that {{{Foo}}} is not a promotable type. At that point, I think there's no question that the declaration should just be ruled out. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8556> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
