#13060: Visible type application doesn't work for functions with inferred types -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: Feuerbach | Owner: Type: bug | Status: closed Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler (Type | Version: 8.0.1 checker) | Resolution: invalid | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Type of failure: GHC rejects | Unknown/Multiple valid program | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by rwbarton): Well (I don't know whether this is documented anywhere but) that should not be the confusing part--`forall {a}.` means you can't use a type application to specify the type. The confusing part is the behavior of `:t id` and `:t foo`. But `:info` will show you the difference. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/13060#comment:3 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
