While #4870 (closed) is fixed, the original code that caused that problem is still not working. Now I can SPECIALISE imported functions, but I think the inliner is looping.

Unfortunately I cannot give a very small example, so I give a bigger example with comments explaining why the complexity is necessary.

data Tree = Bin Tree Tree

tree = Bin tree tree

data TreeF :: * -> * where Tree :: TreeF Tree

type instance PF TreeF = I Tree :*: I Tree
-- If the representation is only |I Tree| then there is no problem

instance Fam TreeF where
  from Tree (Bin l r) = I (I0 l) :*: I (I0 r)

instance El TreeF Tree where proof = Tree

module Test2 where

import Test1

{-# SPECIALIZE eq :: TreeF Tree -> Tree -> Bool #-}
-- The pragma is only problematic if it is in a separate module

f :: Bool
-- If we don't use eq, there is no problem
f = eq Tree tree

Compiling Test2 with ghc-7.1.20110116 -O -v gives:

1. ..and eventually I run out of patience and kill the compiler. Some variations cause the compiler to run out of memory altogether. Note that all goes well if the code is all together in one module (and, looking at the generated core code, the compiler specialises nicely). But this is library and user code, which in normal use are in separate modules/packages.
