Summary

Today in #haskell http://tunes.org/~nef/logs/haskell/20.04.24

11:12:58 <mniip> ghc-prim:GHC.Tuple.Unit{(w) tc 42}  versus  ghc-prim:GHC.Tuple.Unit{tc rdRN}
11:14:39 <mniip> (w) indicating the wired in id (likely the name from the type sig)
11:22:10 <mniip> looks like a TH/renamer bug

Steps to reproduce

{-# LANGUAGE TemplateHaskell #-}
import Language.Haskell.TH
import GHC.Tuple

main = case $( tupE [ [| "ok" |] ] ) of Unit x -> putStrLn x
{-
runghc -dppr-debug unit.hs

unit.hs:5:41: error:
    • Couldn't match expected type ‘ghc-prim:GHC.Tuple.Unit{(w) tc 42}
                                      (ghc-prim:GHC.Types.[]{(w) tc 3Q}

                                      base:GHC.Base.String{tc rf1}’
      NB: ‘ghc-prim:GHC.Tuple.Unit{tc rIJ}’ is defined in ‘GHC.Tuple’

    • In the pattern: ghc-prim:GHC.Tuple.Unit{d rIK} (x{v a2dg})
      In a case alternative:
          {unit.hs:5:41-46}
          ghc-prim:GHC.Tuple.Unit{d rIK} (x{v a2dg})
            -> {unit.hs:5:51-60}
               base:System.IO.putStrLn{v rt9}
                 {unit.hs:5:60}
                 x{v a2dg}
      In the expression:
        {unit.hs:5:8-60}
        case
            {unit.hs:5:13-36}

    • Relevant bindings include

Expected behavior

It should print "ok"
