#11715: There's something fishy going on with Constraint -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: bgamari | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: high | Milestone: 8.0.1 Component: Compiler (Type | Version: 8.0.1-rc1 checker) | Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Description changed by bgamari: @@ -2,1 +2,1 @@ - #11334. Consider this testcase, + #11334. Consider this testcase (`-O0` is sufficient), New description: I first noticed something was a bit odd with `Constraint` when chasing #11334. Consider this testcase (`-O0` is sufficient), {{{#!hs import Data.Typeable main = do print $ typeRep (Proxy :: Proxy Eq) print $ typeOf (Proxy :: Proxy Eq) }}} With `ghc-8.0` this will produce, {{{ Eq Proxy (* -> *) Eq }}} Notice the second line; GHC seems to be claiming that `Eq :: * -> *`, which is clearly nonsense. I believe this issue may be the cause of some of the testsuite failures that I'm seeing on #11011. Unfortunately I haven't the foggiest where this issue might originate. -- -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11715#comment:3 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
