[GHC] #11554: Self quantification in GADT data declarations

A }}} I guess the typechecker tries to infer the kind of A from the type of the constructors and hangs. Maybe recursive occurrences of a type as a kind in its constructors should only be allowed when its kind signature is specified and can be used to typecheck the constructors. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11554 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

Think this is a sane thing to do? If so I'll upload it to phab. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11554#comment:8 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

That is, if (and only if) we're currently checking a mutually recursive group containing the tycon `T`, `T` will be registered as `ATcTyCon`. Isn't that the exact scenario where you're proposing to use `ATcTyConUnpromoted`? So my take would be to check in `tcTyVar`, just as you suggest, but use the existing `ATcTyCon` instead of creating something new. Or what am I missing? -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11554#comment:9 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

Nothing, you're right about this.
