#12449: Broken types in identifiers bound by :print -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: mniip | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.0.1 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: GHCi crash Unknown/Multiple | Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- {{{#!hs GHCi, version 8.0.1: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ :? for help Prelude> :print show show = (_t1::Show a => a -> String) Prelude> :t _t1 <interactive>:1:1: error: No instance for (Show a) arising from a use of ‘it’ }}} Furthermore: {{{#!hs Prelude> _t1 "foo" <interactive>:3:5: error:ghc: panic!
