#8630: Kind inference fails to account for associated types --------------------------------------------+------------------------------ Reporter: goldfire | Owner: Type: bug | Status: closed Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler (Type checker) | Version: 7.7 Resolution: wontfix | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Type of failure: None/Unknown | Unknown/Multiple Test Case: | Difficulty: Unknown Blocking: | Blocked By: | Related Tickets: --------------------------------------------+------------------------------ Changes (by goldfire): * status: new => closed * resolution: => wontfix Comment: Fair enough. I took a look at what it would take to fix this, too, and came to much the same conclusion. I was rather hoping you might see some refactoring that would fix this bug ''and'' simplify gobs of other code in the process, as you sometimes do. When I have a chance, I might see if this behavior can be documented somewhere, as it did truly confuse me when I first hit it. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8630#comment:2 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
