#10592: Allow cycles in class declarations -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: MikeIzbicki | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler (Type | Version: 7.10.1 checker) | Keywords: Resolution: | Architecture: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Revisions: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by MikeIzbicki): I actually tried the technique on my current code base and it did appear GHC went into an infinite loop. I didn't report it here though because I wasn't sure exactly what was going on and I haven't had a chance to look into it more fully. I'm not sure what you mean by this could be accepted with regards to comment:6 of #10318. There's a lot going on in that thread, and it's hard for me to get a good grasp of what's relevant. I basically know nothing about how type inference actually works, I'm just a big fan of using it :) -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10592#comment:5 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
