#11376: Inconsistent specified type variables among functions and datatypes/classes when using -XTypeApplications -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: RyanGlScott | Owner: goldfire Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.0.1 Component: Compiler (Type | Version: 8.1 checker) | Keywords: Resolution: | TypeApplications Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: Other | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by simonpj):
And, personally, when I want the type of a function, I just say :type, not :info, even when that expression is just a bare function.
If that is what you want, let's not over complicate this. We could easily say that `:type` behaves like `:info` when its argument is jut a variable. That is easy to specify, easy to implement, and does what you say you want. I'm really not happy with the old behaviour, so reluctant to revert. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11376#comment:30 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
