#13352: Strange requirement for re-exported duplicate record fields -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: crockeea | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.0.2 Resolution: | Keywords: orf 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 tejon): I've just run into this as well, with the additional observation that if module C ''re-exports'' modules A and B, then C must also have `DuplicateRecordFields`. (Of course, C needing it is the immediate intuition anyway; but it's not always true that it's only needed at (n-1 of) the definition points. This is just a slightly annoying curiosity when one controls all the relevant modules, but it seems like it shuts down the extension completely if one is working with external modules that don't have `DuplicateRecordFields` enabled (because why should they, internally there are none). -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/13352#comment:4 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
