Hi there,
This is ghc-4.01
I have not seen an instance of such a message
for non-overlapping patterns for non-string types.
As part of a where clause I have (modulo renaming)
two equations of the following form:
f Pat1 p2 p3 p4 = rhs1
f Pat2 p2 p3 p4 = rhs2
where Pat1 and Pat2 are disjoint ``ground'' instances
of a user defined algebraic data type as in
data Pattern = Pat1 | Pat1
I get nevertheless (modulo renaming)
Pattern match(es) are overlapped in the definition of function `f'
Pat2 p2 p3 p4 = ...
I tried to isolate this but strangely enough the
message is not generated in a module of the following
type:
> module Overlap( overlap ) where
> data Pattern = A | B
> overlap A i j k = 0
> overlap B i j k = 0
Let me know if you need more info.
Regards,
Marc
