#8584: Pattern synonym type signatures ------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: cactus | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Type of failure: None/Unknown Difficulty: Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: 5144 | Blocking: Related Tickets: | ------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Currently, the only way to specify a type signature for a pattern synonym is by adding type annotations to the right-hand side, like this: {{{ {-# LANGUAGE PatternSynonyms, ScopedTypeVariables #-} pattern Single x = ([x] :: [Int]) }}} Bespoke syntax for adding type signatures for pattern synonyms would probably be useful. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8584 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
