Unlike in #8865, where we were deriving `Category` for a concrete type like `Either`, in the above example we are attempting to derive an instance of the form: {{{#!hs instance Category * c => Category (T * c) where ... }}} (using `-fprint-explicit-kinds` syntax). But `validDerivPred` is checking if `sizePred (Category * c)` equals the number of free type variables in `Category * c`. But note that `sizePred` counts both type variables //and// type constructors, and `*` is a type constructor! So `validDerivPred` erroneously rejects the above instance. To fix this behavior, I think we just need to change `validDerivPred` to only consider the //visible// arguments of `Category` (i.e., only `c`). This should be a pretty easy fix - patch incoming. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11833> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

The error message claims that `TySyn2` is a datatype when it is actually a type synonym.

Somehow, an `Any` got in there, but I'm not sure where it snuck in. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11484> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

[GHC] #11072: Runtime linker doesn't search for DLLs referenced in import libraries on Windows

#11072: Runtime linker doesn't search for DLLs referenced in import libraries on Windows -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: RyanGlScott | Owner: Phyx- Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.0.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 7.10.2-rc2 (Linking) | Keywords: | Operating System: Windows Architecture: | Type of failure: Runtime crash Unknown/Multiple | Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- (This is adapted from the comments [https://github.com/bos/text- icu/issues/12#issuecomment-154452774 here].) On Windows, the GHC runtime linker only searches for DLLs that have the same names as the import libraries passed to `-l`. This can sometimes create problems, since a library name could be different from the DLL it needs. `text-icu` provides an example of this, since it needs the extra libraries `icuuc`, `icudt`, and `icuin`. However, if you download the [http://site .icu-project.org/download/56#TOC-ICU4C-Download official ICU 56 binaries], they are distributed with DLLs named `icuuc56.dll`, `icudt56.dll`, and `icuin56.dll`, rather than `icuuc.dll`, `icudt.dll`, and `icuin.dll`. This doesn't create any trouble for the linker at compile-time. In fact, if you compile this program {{{#!hs -- TextICU.hs import Data.Text.ICU.Break main = print Kana }}} with `ghc TextICU.hs` and then run `cygcheck ./TextICU.hs` without having the ICU4C `bin64` folder in your `PATH`, it ''appears'' to search for the right DLLs: {{{ $ cygcheck ./TextICU.hs ... cygcheck: track_down: could not find icuin56.dll cygcheck: track_down: could not find icuuc56.dll }}} But actually running the code reveals a different story: {{{ $ runghc TextICU.hs TextICU.hs: icuuc: The specified module could not be found. TextICU.hs: <command line>: can't load .so/.DLL for: icuuc.dll (addDLL: could not load DLL) }}} This demonstrates that the runtime linker behaves differently; it is dependent on what the linked libraries' names are. To confirm this, you can recompile `text-icu` with the following changes to `text-icu.cabal`: {{{ extra-libraries: icuuc56 if os(mingw32) extra-libraries: icuin56 icudt56 }}} Also make symlinks named `icuuc56.lib`, `icuin56.lib`, and `icudt56.lib` that refer to `icuuc.lib`, `icuin.lib`, and `licudt.lib`, respectively, in the ICU4C `lib64` directory. Now `cygcheck` and `ghc` agree on which DLLs to use: {{{ $ ghc TextICU.hs $ cygcheck ./TextICU.exe ... cygcheck: track_down: could not find icuin56.dll cygcheck: track_down: could not find icuuc56.dll $ runghc TextICU.hs TextICU.hs: icuuc56: The specified module could not be found. TextICU.hs: <command line>: can't load .so/.DLL for: icuuc56.dll (addDLL: could not load DLL) }}} -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11072> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
