[GHC] #15144: Type inference regression between GHC 8.0.2 and 8.2.2
#15144: Type inference regression between GHC 8.0.2 and 8.2.2 -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: RyanGlScott | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.6.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 8.2.2 (Type checker) | Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: None/Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- I observed this when debugging a test case from the `HList` library that works in GHC 8.0.2, but not in GHC 8.2.2 or later. Consider the following minimized example: {{{#!hs {-# LANGUAGE FlexibleContexts #-} {-# LANGUAGE FunctionalDependencies #-} {-# LANGUAGE TypeFamilies #-} module Bug where import Data.Coerce import Data.Proxy type family TagR a class TypeIndexed r tr | r -> tr, tr -> r where typeIndexed :: (Coercible (TagR a) s, Functor f) => Proxy a -> (tr (TagR a) -> f (tr (TagR a))) -> r s -> f (r s) typeIndexed' pa x = typeIndexed pa x }}} In GHC 8.0.2, the type of `typeIndexed'` is correctly inferred as: {{{ $ /opt/ghc/8.0.2/bin/ghci Bug.hs GHCi, version 8.0.2: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ :? for help Loaded GHCi configuration from /home/rgscott/.ghci [1 of 1] Compiling Bug ( Bug.hs, interpreted ) Ok, modules loaded: Bug. λ> :t typeIndexed' typeIndexed' :: (Coercible s (TagR a), TypeIndexed r tr, Functor f) => Proxy a -> (tr (TagR a) -> f (tr (TagR a))) -> r s -> f (r s) }}} In GHC 8.2.2 and later, however, the inferred type is less general: {{{ $ /opt/ghc/8.4.2/bin/ghci Bug.hs GHCi, version 8.4.2: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ :? for help Loaded GHCi configuration from /home/rgscott/.ghci [1 of 1] Compiling Bug ( Bug.hs, interpreted ) Ok, one module loaded. λ> :t typeIndexed' typeIndexed' :: (TypeIndexed r tr, Functor f) => Proxy a -> (tr (TagR a) -> f (tr (TagR a))) -> r (TagR a) -> f (r (TagR a)) }}} Notice how the `Coercible s (TagR a)` constraint is no longer inferred. Instead, it seems that GHC is inferring the less general constraint `s ~ TagR a`, since `s` has been substituted for `TagR a` in the type `r (TagR a) -> f (r (TagR a))` (whereas in 8.0.2, it was `r s -> f (r s)`). -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/15144 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
