#13305: static: check for identifiers should only consider term level variables -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: edsko | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.0.2 Resolution: | Keywords: | StaticPointers 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 facundo.dominguez): Given that this is accepted in the current implementation: {{{ g :: Typeable a => StaticPtr (Proxy a) g = static Proxy }}} I guess that Edsko is asking to treat `foo` as if it was `g`. Which might be accomplished by just relaxing a bit the closedness check. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/13305#comment:4 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
