#8745: GeneralizedNewtypeDeriving is still not Safe ------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: goldfire | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.8.1-rc1 Keywords: Safe | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Type of failure: None/Unknown Difficulty: Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | ------------------------------------+------------------------------------- In GHC 7.8, !GeneralizedNewtypeDeriving (GND) is type-safe, due to the advent of roles. Although GND allows looking through unimported constructors, the notion of abstraction has changed -- for a type to be fully abstract in 7.8, it must not export its constructors, and the roles of all its parameters must be nominal. Thus, it would seem that GND should be Safe; that is, in the Safe Haskell subset. See also #5498. Currently, GND is not considered Safe. Along similar lines, the `Coercible` and `coerce` mechanism could be considered Safe, but there is no way to import these into a Safe module (they are in `GHC.Exts`). -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8745> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

#8889: GHCI reports nasty type signatures ----------------------------------+------------------------------ Reporter: MikeIzbicki | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: GHCi | Version: 7.8.1-rc1 Keywords: | Operating System: Linux Architecture: x86_64 (amd64) | Type of failure: Other Difficulty: Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | ----------------------------------+------------------------------ Load a file that contains: {{{ {-# LANGUAGE TypeFamilies , ConstraintKinds , MultiParamTypeClasses , UndecidableInstances , FlexibleInstances #-} import GHC.Prim import Prelude hiding (Functor(..)) class Functor f where type C_fmap_a f a :: Constraint type C_fmap_a f a = () type C_fmap_b f b :: Constraint type C_fmap_b f b = () fmap :: (C_fmap_a f a, C_fmap_b f b) => (a -> b) -> f a -> f b fmap1 :: (ValidFunctor f a, ValidFunctor f b) => (a -> b) -> f a -> f b fmap2 :: (ValidFunctor' f a, ValidFunctor' f b) => (a -> b) -> f a -> f b type ValidFunctor f a = ( Functor f , C_fmap_a f a , C_fmap_b f a ) class ValidFunctor f a => ValidFunctor' f a instance ValidFunctor f a => ValidFunctor' f a }}} Then check the following types in ghci {{{ ghci> :t fmap fmap :: (t, t1, Functor f, C_fmap_b f b ~ t1, C_fmap_a f a ~ t) => (a -> b) -> f a -> f b ghci> :t fmap1 fmap1 :: (t, t1, t2, t3, Functor f, C_fmap_b f b ~ t3, C_fmap_b f a ~ t1, C_fmap_a f b ~ t2, C_fmap_a f a ~ t) => (a -> b) -> f a -> f b ghci> :t fmap2 fmap2 :: (t, t1, t2, t3, Functor f, C_fmap_b f b ~ t3, C_fmap_b f a ~ t1, C_fmap_a f b ~ t2, C_fmap_a f a ~ t) => (a -> b) -> f a -> f b }}} These types are much nastier looking than they need to be. There are two problems: 1) Bogus types t,t1,t2,t3 are introduced when they don't need to be. This is confuses the type signatures quite a bit. 2) The type alias ValidFunctor is being desugared in the type signature for fmap1. This makes type aliases for constraints rather pointless. Also, I tried to solve problem two by adding an extra class, and hoping the class would be displayed instead, but this still doesn't work. I assume this is actually intended behavior though. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8889> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

Omitting the `-j` flag makes no difference. Building `-O0` succeeds. I don't have a standalone test case, and it's not clear to me how to make one as I have no idea what's causing this. I'll try to narrow it down, but if anyone could suggest some flags to twiddle or some other factor to adjust I'd appreciate it. I'm suspecting that it's a function referenced from inlining something vector-related. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8892> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
