#16050: Instance resolution error message unclear, because of missing kind information -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: chessai | Owner: (none) Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.6.3 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by chessai): Now that I think of this, this confused me a lot more the first time I came across such an error. The error message just says nothing about the kinds, so saying that an instance doesn't exist is pretty confusing. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/16050#comment:1 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
