#2530: deriving Show adds extra parens for constructor with record syntax ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: spl | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: lowest | Milestone: 7.6.2 Component: Compiler | Version: 6.8.3 Keywords: | Os: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Failure: None/Unknown Difficulty: Unknown | Testcase: Blockedby: | Blocking: Related: | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Comment(by morabbin): I don't think that the fact that [http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/haskell- prime/wiki/StricterLabelledFieldSyntax the GHC variant] wasn't voted suprem justifies making what is really just a cosmetic change. The case for change is pretty weak, since the GHC variant (with parens) is not at all ambiguous (clarity is next to godliness, etc,), and is semantically equivalent to the Hugs/Haskell 98 variant. Close as wontfix, I say! -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/2530#comment:19 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
