Need more kind inference in associated type instances
When I say
{-# LANGUAGE DataKinds, PolyKinds, TypeFamilies #-}
module Bug where
import Data.Proxy
class kproxy ~ 'KProxy => C (kproxy :: KProxy k) where
type F (a :: k)
instance C ('KProxy :: KProxy Bool) where
type F a = Int
I get
Type indexes must match class instance head
Found ‘k’ but expected ‘Bool’
In the type instance declaration for ‘F’
In the instance declaration for ‘C (KProxy :: KProxy Bool)’
But the kind of a should really be known to be Bool.
This ticket is broken out from ticket:9063#comment:82569, which was evidently not addressed when fixing that ticket.
Patch coming soon.
