#12792: Wrong error message when using a data type as a class instance head -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: nomeata | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Type of failure: Incorrect | Unknown/Multiple error/warning at compile-time | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by simonpj): We don't have `TyCon`s in the renamer; only `Name`s. (Unless imported, or from an earlier GHCi line. So yes, for imported things one could do better. Maybe that is useful enough to do.) -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12792#comment:3 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
