#7730: :info and polykinds --------------------------------------------+------------------------------ Reporter: monoidal | Owner: archblob Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.10.1 Component: Compiler (Type checker) | Version: 7.6.2 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Type of failure: None/Unknown | Unknown/Multiple Test Case: | Difficulty: Unknown Blocking: | Blocked By: | Related Tickets: #8776 --------------------------------------------+------------------------------ Comment (by archblob): We will also need extra information on {{{IfaceTyCon}}}, if it's a promoted data constructor or promoted type constructor in order to quote it when appropriate (promoted type constructors are only quoted when using {{{-dppr-debug}}}). This extra information is only needed in the case of {{{IfaceTyConApp}}} but the current {{{newtype IfaceTyCon = IfaceTc { ifaceTyConName :: IfExtName } }}} is also used for coercion constructors so we might need to use a separate representation for type constructors in the context of {{{IfaceTyConApp}}} that contains this extra information. I was thinking something like: {{{#!haskell -- I'm not really fond of the names IfacePTyCon = IfacePDataCon IfExtName | IfacePTyCon IfExtName | IfaceStdTyCon IfExtName }}} This would not really change things, it is again just more tagging.
