Type checker hangs
The following module causes ghc --make and ghci to hang. -ddump-tc-trace produces output indefinitely.
{-# LANGUAGE GADTs #-}
{-# LANGUAGE FlexibleContexts #-}
import Generics.MultiRec
import Control.Monad.Writer
data AnyF s f where
AnyF :: s ix -> f ix -> AnyF s f
children :: HFunctor s (PF s) => s ix -> (PF s) r ix -> [AnyF s r]
children p x = execWriter (hmapM p collect x) where
collect :: (HFunctor s (PF s)) => s ix -> r ix -> Writer [AnyF s r] (r ix)
collect w x = tell [AnyF w x] >> return x
Module Generics.MultiRec is from Hackage package multirec-0.4.
The code contains a type error: if arguments p and collect are swapped the code compiles fine.
I haven't tried making this example any smaller.
