Specifically: * Major clean up and simplification of check_op in checkValidClass; specifically - use checkValidType on the entire method-selector type to detect ambiguity - put a specific test for -XConstrainedClassMethods * Make -XConstrainedClassMethods be implied by -XMultiParamTypeClasses (a bit ad-hoc but see #7854), and document in the user manual. * Do the checkAmbiguity test just once in TcValidity.checkValidType, rather than repeatedly at every level. See Note [When to call checkAmbiguity] * Add -XAllowAmbiguousTypes in GHC.IP, since 'ip' really is ambiguous. (It's a rather magic function.) * Improve location info for check_op in checkValidClass * Update quite a few tests, which had genuinely-ambiguous class method signatures. Some I fixed by making them unambiguous; some by adding -XAllowAmbiguousTypes }}} Now always shows the same ambiguity error. Needs a regression test before closing. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8030#comment:3 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
