Second message referred to in my last post... -----Original Message----- From: template-haskell-bounces@haskell.org [mailto:template-haskell-bounces@haskell.org] On Behalf Of Simon Peyton-Jones Sent: 19 July 2004 17:51 To: template-haskell@haskell.org Subject: [Template-haskell] FW: [ ghc-Bugs-992199 ] Template crash onexistential types My previous message was about robust-ifying the conversion from: TH.Syntax -> HsSyn but the other direction has very similar problems. The functions in DsMeta convert: HsSyn -> TH.Syntax Unfortunately, of course TH does not implement all of GHC's extensions, so the desugaring can fall over badly. The right thing to do is presumably to make the desugarer monad support failure and errors, like the type checker monad does, and fail more gracefully. Again, is there anyone who'd be prepared to take this on?
