#13598: role annotation for newtype (partially?) ignored? -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: edsko | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: closed Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.2.1-rc2 Resolution: invalid | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Changes (by edsko): * status: new => closed * resolution: => invalid Comment: Hmmm, okay. So that explains why I had to import some constructors into my code in various places to make type errors mysteriously disappear.. even though I was not using those constructors anywhere in that code... Fair enough. I did and do find that very counter-intuitive but if that's how it's supposed to work.. :) -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/13598#comment:2 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
