Interface file errors (Iface type variable out of scope: k)
(Please forgive me if I have not formatted this bug report properly)
Anyway, yesterday in a project at work we started having a strange problem where pretty much any change in our code at all would result in the next build failing with this error:
The interface for ‘main:HList’
Declaration for $fRLensk:r_$s$w$crlens:
Iface type variable out of scope: k
Cannot continue after interface file error
I can get around the problem by deleting the dist directory, but this is very unfortunate, since it basically changes my build/test cycle from a few seconds to a minutes because I can't take advantage of the cached builds of things that *haven't* changed. It seems like errors like this have cropped up a few times in GHC, but they've always been fixed so far, so hopefully someone here will be familiar with what is causing this one! Please let me know if there is further information I can provide.
The file in question looks basically like this: (it depends on some other stuff in our project, and so it won't build immediately if you paste it onto your machine; let me know if you need me to bundle it up into something self-contained).
