Incorrect warning about redundant constraints
The following program results in an incorrect warning about a redundant constraint:
{-# LANGUAGE TypeFamilies #-}
type family SomeFun a
f :: (SomeFun i ~ [a], Read a) => proxy i -> a
f _ = read "HELLO"
This is the warning:
Redundant constraint: SomeFun i ~ [a]
In the type signature for:
f :: (SomeFun i ~ [a], Read a) => proxy i -> a
I tried it on GHC version 7.11.20151029
