Deriving instance conditionally compiles
{-# LANGUAGE GADTs #-}
{-# LANGUAGE StandaloneDeriving #-}
data Abstract
data Reified
data Player
data Elect p a where
ElectRefAsTypeOf :: Int -> Elect Abstract a -> Elect Abstract a
ElectHandle :: a -> Elect Reified a
Controller :: Elect Abstract Player
Owner :: Elect Abstract Player
You :: Elect Abstract Player
deriving instance (Eq a) => Eq (Elect p a)
deriving instance (Ord a) => Ord (Elect p a)
As is, the above code fails to compile. But if I move ElectRefAsTypeOf to be the last constructor for the GADT, the code does compile. If I remove one of the Elect Abstract Player constructors, the code still won't compile even if the ElectRefAsTypeOf is moved.
