"Tick in rule" impossible error in 8.10.1-alpha2 using Megaparsec.
Summary
A parser I'm working on that uses Megaparsec (either 7.0.5 or 8.0.0) is failing to compile under the pre-release of 8.10.1 with an "impossible" error.
Steps to reproduce
I have stripped it down to the following:
module TickInRule where
import Control.Monad (void)
import Text.Megaparsec
import Text.Megaparsec.Char
foo :: String -> Parsec () String ()
foo s = do
manyTill (foo "a") (lookAhead $ void (string s) <|> eof)
void (string s)
(This parser doesn't make much sense of course, but I've removed everything not necessary for the error.)
I get this using ghc -O2 bad.hs
:
[1 of 1] Compiling TickInRule ( bad.hs, bad.o )
ghc: panic! (the 'impossible' happened)

Please report this as a GHC bug: https://www.haskell.org/ghc/reportabug
Oddly, factoring out the void part (let v = void (string s)
) makes the error go away; indeed, so does factoring out just string s
.
Using no optimization or even -O
also results in no error.
This is as far as I've gotten.
