Standalone deriving of an unsupported class panics GHC
Using standalone deriving on a non-standard class, without GeneralizedNewtypeDeriving, causes GHC to panic. Here is an example:
{-# LANGUAGE StandaloneDeriving #-}
class C a
instance C Int
newtype T = T Int
deriving instance C T
Output:
ghc: panic! (the 'impossible' happened)
(GHC version 6.12.1 for x86_64-unknown-linux):
genDerivBinds: bad derived class main:Main.C{tc rdh}
