#12034: Template Haskell + hs-boot = Not in scope during type checking, but it passed the renamer -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: ezyang | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: low | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.0.1-rc2 (Type checker) | Keywords: backpack | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: None/Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- I don't think this is a very harmful bug but it definitely is a bug. Consider: {{{ -- A.hs-boot module A where data T -- B.hs module B (module A) where import {-# SOURCE #-} A -- A.hs {-# LANGUAGE TemplateHaskell #-} module A where import qualified B import Language.Haskell.TH f :: B.T -> B.T f x = x $( return [] ) data T = T B.T }}} The point of the splice is to convince GHC to typecheck `f :: B.T -> B.T` before it typechecks the type declaration. But this is not going to work, because `tcLookupGlobal` is going to bail if (1) T is not in the `tcg_type_env` and (2) T comes from this module. It would be a simple matter to improve the error message but from a user's perspective, there is no good reason for this to not typecheck. On the implementation side, I am sympathetic to not letting this typecheck: if it does typecheck, then some `TyCon`s will incorrectly refer to the definition from the hs-boot file, rather than our local definition. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12034> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

One thing to check closely: if we bundle a pattern synonym declared in an hs-boot file with another type, in an hs-boot file, what happens? In particular, does an hs file which doesn't bundle the pattern synonym and the type valid? If we add support for them, make sure that Backpack signatures handle it properly. In particular, suppose we have: {{{ signature A(T(X)) where data T pattern X :: T }}} Then, when we instantiate A, we must be careful to NOT blindly reuse the implementing module of T for X (as we do today in `uAvailInfo` in `NameShape`), since T and X may be defined in different modules.
