#10763: Failure to build GHC HEAD with 7.8 due to lint error -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: nomeata | Owner: Type: bug | Status: closed Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.10.2 Resolution: wontfix | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Revisions: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Changes (by goldfire): * status: new => closed * resolution: => wontfix Comment: I can reproduce. This indeed appears to be a bug in 7.8.4. But I'm not motivated to really get to the bottom of it. I think the correct behavior is to turn off `-dcore-lint`. It does seem to me that the bug is in the process of reading an iface file and setting kinds appropriately... although such a bad bug should have been more prominent. In any case, I think the current codebase for GHC is fine, so I'm closing this as wontfix, given that it relates to a no-longer-supported version of GHC. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10763#comment:4 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
