The idea is that given something like {{{ -- | A tree with labeled internal nodes data Tree = Empty -- ^ Leaf | Branch -- ^ Internal node { label :: a -- ^ Node label , subtrees :: [Tree] -- ^ List of subtrees } }}} we'd like it to parse as the user would expect instead of failing. We're currently forced to do something like {{{ -- | A tree with labeled internal nodes data Tree = Empty -- ^ Leaf | -- | Internal node Branch { label :: a -- ^ Node label , subtrees :: [Tree] -- ^ List of subtrees } }}} which is quite ugly. I can't think of a reason why the first form wouldn't be allowed. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8822> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

#12928: Too easy to trigger CUSK condition using TH -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: int-index | Owner: Type: feature | Status: new request | Priority: high | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.0.1 (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: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- While trying to make `singletons` class promotion work with kind- polymorphic type variables, I've encountered a problem regarding CUSKs. Consider this class: {{{ $(promoteOnly [d| class Cls a where fff :: Proxy a -> () |]) }}} The generated TH (slightly simplified by hand) looks like this: {{{ type FffSym1 (t_alvm :: Proxy a1627472612) = Fff t_alvm data FffSym0 (l_alvn :: TyFun (Proxy a1627472612) ()) type instance Apply FffSym0 l_alvn = FffSym1 l_alvn class PCls a_alve where type Fff (arg_alvl :: Proxy a_alve) :: () }}} However, it fails to compile with the following error: {{{ cusk.hs:25:1: error: You have written a *complete user-suppled kind signature*, but the following variable is undetermined: k0 :: * Perhaps add a kind signature. Inferred kinds of user-written variables: a1627472612 :: k0 l_alvn :: TyFun (Proxy a1627472612) () }}} As suggested by the error message, we need to specify the kind in its entirety (write a proper CUSK). So to sidestep the issue, we can write {{{ data FffSym0 (l_alvn :: TyFun (Proxy (a1627472612 :: k)) ()) }}} and it'll work. However, this means that the TH code generator should perform some guesswork to modify kind annotations. It sounds like a minefield — too much can go wrong, so it'd be great to avoid doing so. Looking at the module `TcHsType` in the GHC sources, I see that the error is reported by the `kcHsTyVarBndrs` function: {{{ -- If there are any meta-tvs left, the user has -- lied about having a CUSK. Error. ; let (meta_tvs, good_tvs) = partition isMetaTyVar qkvs ; when (not (null meta_tvs)) $ report_non_cusk_tvs (qkvs ++ tc_tvs) }}} However, I don't see why we can't generalize over `meta_tvs` instead of reporting a failure. I asked on IRC #ghc and ezyang suggested that it should be sound. Below I attach a self-contained example that demonstrates the issue and has no dependencies except `base`. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12928> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
