#11400: * is not an indexed type family -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: RyanGlScott | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler (Type | Version: 8.1 checker) | Resolution: | Keywords: TypeInType Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Type of failure: GHC rejects | Unknown/Multiple valid program | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by jstolarek): I believe `Type` and `*` are synonyms. So theoretically they can be used interchangeably but practically there is this special case for parsing when `*` needs to be parenthesized. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11400#comment:5 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
