#12027: ghc 8.0rc4 treats INLINE pragmas for methods with default (implicit) definitions as errors -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: carter | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: high | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.0.1 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: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- I was getting around to testing some of my maths code with ghc 8.0 and i noticed that whereas in ghc 7.10 and earlier i could have an INLINE pragma for a method of a type class method that has a default implementation (whether this did anything or not is another question), in ghc 8.0 this now gives an ERROR (with not even a warning in ghc 7.10) is this a deliberate design change or an accident? I dont see it in the release notes! heres a small program that illustrates the differences (builds fine with no mention of the INLINE pragma matter under -Wall for 7.10, errors during build in 8.0) {{{ {-# LANGUAGE NoImplicitPrelude #-} module Main where import Prelude (putStrLn) import qualified Data.Functor as Fun import qualified Data.Foldable as F import Prelude hiding (map,foldl,foldr,init,scanl,scanr,scanl1,scanr1,foldl1,foldr1) newtype ListWrap a = ListWrap { unListWrap :: [a] } deriving (Eq, Show) instance Foldable ListWrap where {-# INLINE foldMap #-} {-# INLINE foldr #-} foldMap f (ListWrap ls)= (F.foldMap f ls ) main = putStrLn "hello" }}} this may be a *valid* design change, but i've not seen it documented anywhere, such as the release notes in the RC or in https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Migration/8.0 ... so i'm assuming its a regression pending dicussion ;) -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12027> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

[GHC] #10775: Enable PolyKinds in GHC.Generics

#10775: Enable PolyKinds in GHC.Generics -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: | Owner: RyanGlScott | Type: feature | Status: new request | Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: | Version: 7.10.2 libraries/base | Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: None/Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Revisions: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- As suggested in [https://mail.haskell.org/pipermail/libraries/2015-July/025981.html this] Haskell libraries mailing list thread. Among other benefits, this would allow use of generic functions with `Proxy t` when `t` is of a kind other than `*`. There seem to be more changes required than just putting `{-# LANGUAGE PolyKinds #-}` in `GHC.Generics`, however, since I tried doing that myself and found myself unable to properly derive `Generic(1)` instances in `GHC.Generics`. Here is a snippet of the resulting error message: {{{ libraries/base/GHC/Generics.hs:826:1: error: Couldn't match type ‘M1 i0 c0 (M1 i1 c1 U1) p0’ with ‘M1 D x’ Expected type: Rep (Proxy t) x Actual type: M1 i0 c0 (M1 i1 c1 U1) p0 Relevant bindings include from :: Proxy t -> Rep (Proxy t) x (bound at libraries/base/GHC/Generics.hs:826:1) In the expression: M1 (M1 U1) In an equation for ‘from’: from Proxy = M1 (M1 U1) When typechecking the code for ‘from’ in a derived instance for ‘Generic (Proxy t)’: To see the code I am typechecking, use -ddump-deriv libraries/base/GHC/Generics.hs:826:1: error: Couldn't match type ‘M1 t0 t1 (M1 t3 t4 U1) t2’ with ‘M1 D x’ Expected type: Rep (Proxy t) x Actual type: M1 t0 t1 (M1 t3 t4 U1) t2 Relevant bindings include to :: Rep (Proxy t) x -> Proxy t (bound at libraries/base/GHC/Generics.hs:826:1) In the pattern: M1 (M1 U1) In an equation for ‘to’: to (M1 (M1 U1)) = Proxy When typechecking the code for ‘to’ in a derived instance for ‘Generic (Proxy t)’: To see the code I am typechecking, use -ddump-deriv In the instance declaration for ‘Generic (Proxy t)’ }}} -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10775> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
