-- Correct type, which is inferred by GHC 7.6.1 and -- works fine with GHC 7.6.2: -- test :: Maybe (Maybe (r -> ())) -> r -> () -- Incorrect type, resulting in a runtime <>, -- inferred by GHC 7.6.2 and also accepted by GHC 7.6.1: -- test :: a -> r -> () module Main where test zd = let f = let g = case zd of Nothing -> const () Just Nothing -> const () Just (Just p) -> p in g in f main :: IO () main = do let x = test (Just Nothing) () print x {- There is a bug in the type checker of 7.6.1 and 7.6.2, which accepts an incorrect type resulting in <> at runtime. Furthermore, 7.6.2 even automatically infers this incorrect type. Hence, the attached code has the following behavior: - No explicit type: Code works in 7.6.1, loops in 7.6.2 - Correct explicit type: Code works fine in 7.6.1 and 7.6.2 - Incorrect explicit type: Code loops in 7.6.1 and 7.6.2 The incorrect type has a parameter that is too polymorphic, i.e. an "a" type is accepted while the function does a pattern match on the parameter from which it is clear that it should be a Maybe type. In 7.4.* versions this incorrect type is not accepted. -}
