#7658: Support empty record update syntax -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Reporter: glguy | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: closed Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.6.2 Resolution: wontfix | Keywords: Os: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Failure: None/Unknown | Difficulty: Unknown Testcase: | Blockedby: Blocking: | Related: -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Changes (by simonpj): * status: new => closed * difficulty: => Unknown * resolution: => wontfix Comment: glguy is right: the typing of record updates currently depends critically on there being at least one field. What type would you infer for this? {{{ f x = x {} }}} I agree about newtype wrapper. Very much on the radar. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7658#comment:3 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
