#7730: :info and polykinds --------------------------------------------+------------------------------ Reporter: monoidal | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.8.1 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: --------------------------------------------+------------------------------ Comment (by simonpj): Another example {{{ data T a = forall a. MkT a }}} The inner `a` shadows the outer one, so this really means: {{{ data T a where MkT :: forall b. b -> T a }}} but it displays as {{{ data T a where MkT :: a -> T a }}} which is desperately confusing. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7730#comment:4 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
