Record-like GADTs with repeated fields (of same type) rejected
I came across a curious bug with record-like GADTs and repeated fields. Consider following code:
{-# LANGUAGE GADTs #-}
data Foo p where
Bar :: { quux' :: Bool } -> Foo Char
Baz :: { quux'' :: Bool } -> Foo Int
quux :: Foo p -> Bool
quux (Bar q) = q
quux (Baz q) = q
quuxSetter :: Foo p -> Bool -> Foo p
quuxSetter old@Bar{} q = old{quux' = q}
quuxSetter old@Baz{} q = old{quux'' = q}
This compiles and all is fine. *But* GHC is supposed to create the nice quux and quuxSetter accessors for me, right?
So, let's try:
data Foo p where
Bar :: { quux :: Bool } -> Foo Char
Baz :: { quux :: Bool } -> Foo Int
It does not compile! Instead I get:
T12159.hs:3:1: error:
Constructors Bar and Baz have a common field quux ,
but have different result types
In the data type declaration for Foo
Failed, modules loaded: none.
This is not very polite :-) It should simply create the accessors like I did above. It obviously can be done!
Testcase is attached.
