#15284: Can't parse ''(*) in GHC HEAD -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: RyanGlScott | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: highest | Milestone: 8.6.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 8.5 (Parser) | Resolution: | 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: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by RyanGlScott): True, enabling `TypeOperators` (or more specifically, `NoStarIsType`, which `TypeOperators` implies) works around the issue. But why is that extension required for this to work? Note that I'm not using `*` as a synonym for `Type` here. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/15284#comment:3 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
