I've attached the simplest example of my code that used to compile in GHC 6.10 now gives the error in GHC 6.12.1: baddata.hs:33:14: No instances for (Data Const, Data Var) arising from the 'deriving' clause of a data type declaration at baddata.hs:33:14-17 Possible fix: add an instance declaration for (Data Const, Data Var) or use a standalone 'deriving instance' declaration instead, so you can specify the instance context yourself When deriving the instance for (Data (Domain e g)) If I replace:

...

data Domain e g = Domain (Expr (Const :+: Var)) deriving (Data, Typeable)

with:

...

data Domain e g = Domain (Expr (Const)) deriving (Data, Typeable)

then everything compiles. If nothing else, the error message is misleading. -Ron

At Igloo's suggestion, it's now a ticket: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/3965 -Ron On Thu, Apr 8, 2010 at 1:39 AM, Ron Alford wrote:

Just for fun, I tried it on 6.12.1.20100330 with the same result. Does anyone have a workaround? Otherwise I need to revert to 6.10. -Ron On Thu, Apr 8, 2010 at 10:35 AM, Ron Alford wrote:

It's really a bug. I've fixed it in my tree, but I'm at 2.8 and don't have time to validate etc. So I'm doubtful that I'll be in time to get a fix into 6.12.1, alas. Well, maybe I can build a patch and send it to Simon/Ian for testing. I'll try to do that if it's important to you. it's bit of an exotic case because of the higher-kindedness so I don't think it'll bite too man people There's a good workaround: use "standalone deriving".

I was getting a similar error with standalone deriving (already attached to that bug), but I didn't try it through-out. I'll let you know how it goes. -Ron On Mon, Apr 12, 2010 at 6:01 AM, Simon Peyton-Jones wrote:

There's a good workaround: use "standalone deriving".

The standalone deriving decl you need is the one for (Data (a :+: b)), not for Expr Simon | -----Original Message----- | From: glasgow-haskell-users-bounces@haskell.org [mailto:glasgow-haskell- | users-bounces@haskell.org] On Behalf Of Ron Alford | Sent: 12 April 2010 11:09 | To: Simon Peyton-Jones | Cc: glasgow-haskell-users | Subject: Re: Deriving regression or bad code? | | I was getting a similar error with standalone deriving (already | attached to that bug), but I didn't try it through-out.
