#9209: Template haskell panic ------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: tulcod | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.8.2 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Type of failure: None/Unknown Difficulty: Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | ------------------------------------+------------------------------------- I was trying to get some template haskell thing to work and was messing around and ran into this bug. Prelude> let $([d||]) ghc: panic! (the 'impossible' happened) (GHC version 7.8.2 for x86_64-unknown-linux): cvBindsAndSigs $[splice{v}]([d| |]) Please report this as a GHC bug: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/reportabug Prelude> The following file: {-# LANGUAGE TemplateHaskell #-} let $([d||]) main = do return () gives the following error message: test.hs:3:1: parse error (possibly incorrect indentation or mismatched brackets) but doesn't crash. So it seems to be ghci-specific...? the other oxford brackets work fine (or don't suffer from exactly the same bug, anyway) -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9209 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
