#11964: Without TypeInType, inconsistently accepts Data.Kind.Type but not type synonym -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: ezyang | Owner: goldfire Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.0.1-rc2 (Type checker) | Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: None/Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- For convenience, I'll use GHCi to demonstrate flag behavior. First, we define a file: ``` {-# LANGUAGE TypeInType #-} import Data.Kind type Star = Type newtype T k (t :: k) = T () ``` Next, we load it up in GHCi, WITHOUT `-XTypeInType`. Now we observe strange behavior: ``` ezyang@sabre:~$ ghc-8.0 --interactive C.hs GHCi, version 8.0.0.20160204: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ :? for help [1 of 1] Compiling Main ( C.hs, interpreted ) Ok, modules loaded: Main. *Main> :k T Type Int T Type Int :: * *Main> :k T Star Int <interactive>:1:3: error: • Data constructor ‘Star’ cannot be used here (Perhaps you intended to use DataKinds) • In the first argument of ‘T’, namely ‘Star’ In the type ‘T Star Int’ ``` Of course, if we pass `-TypeInType` to GHCi that fixes the problem (BTW, `DataKinds` does NOT solve the problem.) -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11964> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

This can lead to GHC panics, as when compiling GHC after this commit https://github.com/alanz/ghc/commit/c73182ca7345f0debba47d0b17a907bcac27c41f In the attached files, if you try to load HsLit.lhs into ghci it will complain about the missing Data instance, not about the boot file inconsistency. If you remove the Data from the deriving clause of HsOverLit, it complains about the boot file inconsistency. I have not managed to reproduce the original panic in this stripped down environment, but if it is needed to more fully understand the problem I can try again to do that. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9450> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
