#8044: "Inaccessible code" error reported in wrong place --------------------------------------------+------------------------------ Reporter: goldfire | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler (Type checker) | Version: 7.7 Resolution: | Keywords: GADTs Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Type of failure: None/Unknown | Unknown/Multiple Test Case: | Difficulty: Unknown Blocking: | Blocked By: | Related Tickets: --------------------------------------------+------------------------------ Comment (by heisenbug): I doubt the type family is valid {{{ type family Frob a where Frob Int = Int Frob x = Char }}} The second clause should give the same result for `x = Int` than the first (namely `Int`), but it results in `Char`. Richard can surely express it better than me, though I wonder why it is not rejected at all?
