#10130: Rigid/Skolum produced by unassociated values. -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: | Owner: dukerutledge | Status: new Type: bug | Milestone: Priority: normal | Version: 7.8.4 Component: Compiler | Operating System: Linux Keywords: rigid, | Type of failure: Compile-time skolum, | crash existentialquantification, gadts, | Blocked By: nomonolocalbinds | Related Tickets: Architecture: x86_64 | (amd64) | Test Case: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Here is an in depth example of a possible GHC bug. It is exacerbated by GADTs, but can be fixed with NoMonoLocalBinds. Without GADTs and just leveraging ExistentialQuantification it works fine. We've included a pretty exhaustive set of examples. {{{ {-# LANGUAGE ExistentialQuantification, GADTs #-} {- removing MonoLocalBinds fixes all of these errors {-# LANGUAGE ExistentialQuantification, GADTs, NoMonoLocalBinds #-} -} module PossibleGHCBug where data SumType = SumFoo | SumBar class SomeClass a where someType :: a -> SumType data SomeExistential = forall a.
