[GHC] #10814: Eliminate some ambiguity for IsString [a]

#10814: Eliminate some ambiguity for IsString [a] -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: dolio | Owner: ekmett Type: task | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.12.1 Component: Core | Version: 7.10.2 Libraries | Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: None/Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Revisions: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- The libraries list resolved to make a modification to the `String` instance for `IsString` to resolve certain ambiguous cases. One example is: {{{#!hs "hello" ++ " world" }}} This case can be resolved by making the instance: {{{#!hs instance (a ~ Char) => IsString [a] where ... }}} rather than: {{{#!hs instance IsString [Char] where ... }}} as the former matches only based on the head being `[a]`, and subsequently determines `a ~ Char`, rather than only matching when other factors cause the head to be fully resolved to `[Char]`. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10814 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
