#12976: GHCi displays the kinds of unboxed tuples incorrectly -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: RyanGlScott | Owner: Type: bug | Status: closed Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: GHCi | Version: 8.0.2 Resolution: invalid | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: Other | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: #12985 | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by goldfire): No. Visible kind applications won't help. We need to either have: 1. Type-level lambdas, or 2. Declare `(#,#) :: forall r1. TYPE r1 -> forall r2. TYPE r2 -> TYPE 'UnboxedTupleRep`. (2) is obviously much much easier. But I'm worried about folks getting confused at the non-prenex type. On the other hand, if someone is wading in these waters, they had better know how to swim already... -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12976#comment:6 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
