source file that compiled fine fails to recompile after touching it (yes, another one)
I'm using the development snapshot ghc-6.11.20090107 and ran into a bug very similar to #2888 (closed), but I think it is different because I could not reproduce that bug in my version.
The setup is very similar: File A.hs contains
{-# LANGUAGE TypeFamilies #-}
module A where
class Foo a where
data Bar a :: * -> *
and file B.hs contains
{-# LANGUAGE TypeFamilies #-}
module B where
import A
instance Foo Int where
data Bar Int x where
Baz :: Bar Int String
Then:
rwbarton@functor:/tmp/a$ ghc --make B
[1 of 2] Compiling A ( A.hs, A.o )
[2 of 2] Compiling B ( B.hs, B.o )
rwbarton@functor:/tmp/a$ touch B.hs
rwbarton@functor:/tmp/a$ ghc --make B
[2 of 2] Compiling B ( B.hs, B.o )
B.hs:8:2:
Arguments that do not correspond to a class parameter must be variables
Instead of a variable, found Int
In the associated type instance for `Bar'
In the instance declaration for `Foo Int'
