#13352: Strange requirement for re-exported duplicate record fields -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: crockeea | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.0.2 Resolution: | Keywords: orf Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Type of failure: GHC rejects | Unknown/Multiple valid program | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by adamgundry): Sorry, I've only just seen this as ezyang's CC missed. :( This is an awkward corner of the `DuplicateRecordFields` implementation: as you've observed, the extension needs to be enabled at the definition site of (all but one of) a set of record fields in order for them to be re-exported by a single module. In principle it would be possible to fix this by changing the implementation to mangle selector names regardless of whether the extension is enabled. However, I suspect this would be a nontrivial amount of work relative to the benefit. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/13352#comment:3 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
