Thanks, now fixed. Unsavoury introduction of new names in the TC when processing class defns -- it introduced missing method bindings for class members by creating names that were derived from the method name by simply prefixing "default_". Quite bizarre, really. --sigbjorn ----- Original Message ----- From: "Iavor S. Diatchki" To: "hugs-bugs" Sent: Tuesday, February 11, 2003 11:02 Subject: spurious names

hello,

i run into the following problem:

class C t where elem :: t

-- default_elem = 3

-- when default_elem is not used -- INTERNAL ERROR: pmcTerm

-- instance C Int where -- elem = default_elem

-- when default_elem is used -- INTERNAL ERROR: typeAp1

-- when default_elem is not defined (at command prompt) -- :i default_elem -- default_elem :: <unknown type>

it looks like hugs introduces new (valid) names into the program. would it be possible to hide this from the user?

thanks iavor
