[Haskell-cafe] Functional dependency failure

2 Sep 2014

      Hi!

I have following code:

STRead.hs:

import Control.Monad.Reader
import Control.Monad.ST
import qualified Data.Vector.Mutable as MV
import qualified Data.Vector as V

type ReadVecMonad s = ReaderT (MV.MVector s Int) (ST s)

freezeV :: ReadVecMonad s (V.Vector Int)
freezeV = ask >>= lift V.freeze

Trying to compile this I have "Couldn't match type ... When using functional dependencies to combine" error
following with kind mismatch and type with literaly the same type mismatch.

How can I work this around?

There's full error message:

STRead.hs:9:11:

                  with `(->)
