GHC panic (No skolem info) with RankNTypes and strange scoping
The following program panics with GHC 8.6.3 and HEAD:
{-# LANGUAGE ConstraintKinds #-}
{-# LANGUAGE DataKinds #-}
{-# LANGUAGE PolyKinds #-}
{-# LANGUAGE QuantifiedConstraints #-}
module Bug where
import Data.Kind
type Const a b = a
type SameKind (a :: k) (b :: k) = (() :: Constraint)
class (forall (b :: k). SameKind a b) => C (k :: Const Type a)

Bug.hs:11:36: error:ghc: panic! (the 'impossible' happened)
(GHC version 8.6.3 for x86_64-unknown-linux):
No skolem info:
[k1_a1X4[sk:1]]
Call stack:
CallStack (from HasCallStack):
callStackDoc, called at compiler/utils/Outputable.hs:1160:37 in ghc:Outputable
pprPanic, called at compiler/typecheck/TcErrors.hs:2891:5 in ghc:TcErrors
As with #16244 (closed), I imagine that the real culprit is that SameKind a b
would force a :: k
, which would be ill-scoped.
