#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 goldfire): If that was ever accepted without `-XTypeOperators`, regardless of `-XStarIsType`, it's a bug. After all, you are quoting a type operator. Note, however, that `-XStarIsType` is on by default, and therefore `*` is not considered an infix operator in types (by default). So it's as if you wrote `''(Type)`, which indeed is an error. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/15284#comment:4 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
