#15147: Type checker plugin receives Wanteds that are not completely unflattened -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: nfrisby | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.6.1 Component: Compiler (Type | Version: 8.4.1 checker) | Keywords: type checker Resolution: | plugins 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 adamgundry): Well, it rather depends on the plugin: my `uom-plugin` and other existing plugins were designed to work on the basis of receiving fully unflattened constraints, and at the time that seemed the simplest thing to get working. Of course it depends on what the plugin is doing as to which is simplest, so I can well understand nfrisby having an opposite preference in his case. As I say, I don't mind terribly if the interface changes to supply unflattened constraints, provided there is a way to properly flatten them again in the plugin monad. That seems like it would require resolving this issue anyway, though? -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/15147#comment:5 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
