GHC panic when deriving Functor on a Fixed type
Building the following
{-# LANGUAGE DeriveFunctor#-}
module Main where
data Event a b = Event a deriving (Functor)
newtype F f = F (f (F f))
data EventF a = EventF (F (Event a)) deriving (Functor)
results in
Main.hs:7:48:ghc: panic! (the 'impossible' happened)
(GHC version 7.8.2 for x86_64-unknown-linux):
Prelude.(!!): index too large
I am not sure if the above code should actually compile but it probably shouldn't panic.
