#11715: Constraint vs * -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: bgamari | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: high | Milestone: 8.2.1 Component: Compiler (Type | Version: 8.0.1-rc1 checker) | Resolution: | Keywords: Typeable 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 int-index): Oh, perhaps it's a miscommunication on my behalf. When I say "available in the context", by "context" I mean implicit parameters to the left of `=>`. So this should not compile: {{{#!hs f :: Int -> Int f x = -- error: The 'Int =>' constraint is NOT satisfied by 'x' helper helper :: Int => Int helper = ... }}} -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11715#comment:40 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
