#14198: Inconsistent treatment of implicitly bound kind variables as free-floating -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: RyanGlScott | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler (Type | Version: 8.2.1 checker) | Resolution: | Keywords: TypeInType Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: 14268 | Blocking: Related Tickets: #7873, #15474 | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by goldfire): I think this is subtly a different problem than `reportFloatingKvs`: that's all about user-written kind variables; this ticket is about overactive generalization. We ''could'' just say that `a` has kind `Any`. But I prefer rejecting the program. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/14198#comment:11 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
