Hi, the following (reduced) example used to go through with ghc-6.2.2 but fails with ghc-6.4. Which behaviour is correct? I compile with: ghc -fglasgow-exts Context.hs module Context where class Language a class Language a => Logic a b | a -> b class (Language a, Logic b c, Logic d e) => Comorph a b c d e | a -> b, a -> d instance (Comorph a1 b1 c1 d1 e1, Comorph a2 b2 c2 d2 e2) => Language (a1, a2) instance (Comorph a1 b1 c1 d1 e1, Comorph a2 b2 c2 d2 e2) => Comorph (a1, a2) b1 c1 d2 e2 -- end of module ghc-6.4 (or ghc-6.4.1) complains with: Context.hs:11:0: Could not deduce (Comorph a2 b2 c21 d2 e21, Comorph a1 b1 c11 d1 e11) from the context (Comorph a1 b1 c1 d1 e1, Comorph a2 b2 c2 d2 e2) arising from the superclasses of an instance declaration at Context.hs:11:0 Probable fix: add (Comorph a2 b2 c21 d2 e21, Comorph a1 b1 c11 d1 e11) to the instance declaration superclass context In the instance declaration for `Comorph (a1, a2) b1 c1 d2 e2' If I replace the first instance with "instance (Language a1, Language a2) => Language (a1, a2)" then ghc-6.4 is happy.
