Re: [Haskell-cafe] RebindableSyntax and fail in GHC 8

Thanks for the response. It appears the bug was already reported in a slightly different context. https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11216 On Wed, Dec 21, 2016 at 6:24 AM, Richard Eisenberg wrote:

Sounds like a bug to me.... and one I may have run into at some point. Would you care to file a bug report?

Thanks! Richard

Hey everyone,

Can someone explain to me by GHC 8 causes list comprehension bindings to desugar to use 'fail', when RebindableSyntax is enabled in GHC 8? Note that I do not have monad comprehensions enabled. If I define fail, everything works (apparently regardless of what I define fail to do?!?), but I'd like to understand why it's necessary.
