#15979: Core Lint error with LiberalTypeSynonyms -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: RyanGlScott | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.8.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 8.6.2 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Type of failure: Compile-time | Unknown/Multiple crash or panic | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by RyanGlScott): Is it just me, or does this Core Lint check seem entirely bogus? This seems to assume that the body of a `forall` will always be `*`-kinded, but that's just blatantly false (`forall (f :: Type -> Type). f` is another counterexample.) -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/15979#comment:1 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
