#11471: Kind polymorphism and unboxed types: bad things are happening -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: bgamari | Owner: goldfire Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler (Type | Version: 7.10.3 checker) | Keywords: TypeInType, Resolution: | LevityPolymorphism 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): And also, I thought of this: what type would `Bool` have? It surely must have type `*`. But then would it not work as a kind anymore? So perhaps this isn't really such a good idea. In any case, I don't believe there is any serious consideration of implementing Reid's plan... just musing about alternatives. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11471#comment:14 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
