-ddump-deriv doesn't dump failed newtype-deriving
When I say
{-# LANGUAGE GeneralizedNewtypeDeriving, TypeFamilies #-}
{-# OPTIONS_GHC -ddump-deriv #-}
type family F a
type instance F Int = Bool
class C a where
meth :: a -> F a
instance C Int where
meth = (> 0)
newtype Age = MkAge Int
deriving C
I get an error (which I should), but I don't get the derived C instance, as requested by -ddump-deriv. The output should include this helpful information.
