#13637: Printing type operators adds extraneous parenthesis -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: darchon | Owner: alanz Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.2.1-rc2 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 nfrisby): I agree that this ticket's bug should be fixed. The {{{We don't keep the fixity of type operators in the operator}}} quoted in comment:3 above is the root problem, if I understand correctly. I'm writing a plugin for type-level sets, and the extra parentheses makes the syntax much more difficult to read than it should be. {{{((('Empty :* a) :* b) :* c)}}} is worse than {{{'Empty :* a :* b :* c}}}. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/13637#comment:4 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
