#9699: TH function to list names in scope -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: MikeIzbicki | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Template Haskell | Version: 7.8.3 Keywords: | Operating System: Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Unknown/Multiple Difficulty: Unknown | Type of failure: Blocked By: | None/Unknown Related Tickets: | Test Case: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- I [asked about this on stackoverflow](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26394199/using- templatehaskell-to-list-all-names-in-a-namespace), and apparently it doesn't exist yet. I want a TemplateHaskell function `variablesInScope :: Q [Name]` that returns a list of the `Name`'s of all the variables in scope. TemplateHaskell obviously has this information available in order to implement functions like `reify :: Name -> Q Info` and `lookupValueName :: String -> Q (Maybe Name)`. So it seems like this might be a pretty simple function to add. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9699> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

#11524: Something is amiss with quantification in pattern synonym type signatures -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: bgamari | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: high | Milestone: 8.0.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 8.0.1-rc1 (Type checker) | Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: GHC rejects Unknown/Multiple | valid program Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Consider this program, {{{#!hs {-# LANGUAGE GADTs #-} {-# LANGUAGE PolyKinds #-} {-# LANGUAGE ExplicitForAll #-} {-# LANGUAGE PatternSynonyms #-} {-# LANGUAGE TypeInType #-} module Test where data AType (a :: k) where AMaybe :: AType Maybe AInt :: AType Int AApp :: forall k1 k2 (a :: k1 -> k2) (b :: k1).

However, when I use the quantified signature GHC complains with, {{{ hi.hs:14:34: error: • Expected kind ‘AType a’, but ‘fun’ has kind ‘AType a1’ • In the declaration for pattern synonym ‘PApp’ • Relevant bindings include arg :: AType b1 (bound at hi.hs:14:34) fun :: AType a1 (bound at hi.hs:14:30) }}} Moreover, if I use the un-quantified signature and ask GHCi for the full type signature, it gives me the precisely the quantified type that it rejected previously, {{{ λ> :info PApp pattern PApp :: forall k (fun :: k) k1 (a :: k1 -> k) (b :: k1).

Unfortunately things currently blow up late in compilation with a seemingly unrelated error when this requirement isn't met. Namely, we complain about missing interface files for dependencies.

Happily, it's Edward's territory, and he is also involved in #7672. So I plan to mark these tests as broken on this ticket, and hope that Edward can adapt the signature stuff (which in any case is in-flight) to the new code. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10472> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

In previous versions this situation resulted in an error at {{{:reload}}} time. Below is a session that demonstrate the bug: {{{ $ ghci A.hs GHCi, version 8.0.0.20160205: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ :? for help [1 of 2] Compiling B ( B.hs, interpreted ) [2 of 2] Compiling A ( A.hs, interpreted ) Ok, modules loaded: A, B. *A> :!cat A.hs module A where import B a = b + 1 *A> :!cat B.hs module B where b = 41 *A> :!mv B.hs B.txt *A> :r Ok, modules loaded: A. *A> :show modules A ( A.hs, interpreted ) *A> a <interactive>: fatal: cannot find object file for module `B' while linking an interpreted expression *A> :r Ok, modules loaded: A. }}} Specifically, I load A.hs, which depends on B.hs. I move B.hs away (or delete it). I reload and it says everything is fine. I try to run and it fails. Putting the B.hs file back solves it.

Wrong, {{{ $ ./Main Main: <<loop>> }}} It seems that the default definitions of `some` and `many` will produce looping code in these cases (although it's not entirely clear to me which cases "these" cases are). I suppose this is due to the fact that `U1` will always "succeed". We should ensure that this is noted in the documentation to ensure that users don't end up with accidentally bottoming instances.

The problem is that matching on `Just a` doesn't provide the show constraint (it provides no constraints).
