#11669: Incorrectly suggests RankNTypes for ill-formed type "forall a. Eq a. Int" -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: Iceland_jack | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.1 (Parser) | Resolution: | Keywords: newcomer Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Type of failure: Incorrect | Unknown/Multiple warning at compile-time | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: #3155 | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by jstolarek): Thomie, I am a bit puzzled by your comment. I think that the signature `foo :: forall a. Eq a. Int` is incorrect (even with `ExplicitForAll` or `RankNTypes`) and should be simply rejected with a parse error. Or am I missing something? -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11669#comment:2 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
