That led to ghc: panic! (the 'impossible' happened) initTc: unsolved constraints I fixed this * Splitting captureConstraints to use an auxilliary tryCaptureConstraints (which never fails) * Define a new TcSimplify.captureTopConstraints (replacing the old TcRnMonad.captureTopConstraints), which reports any unsolved out-of-scope constraints before propagating the exception That in turn allowed me to do some tidying up of the static-constraint machinery, reducing duplication. Also solves #13106. }}} -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12921#comment:5> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
