#4089: Empty Show instance + phantom type + GHCi = out of memory
-----------------------+----------------------------------------------------
Reporter: japple | Owner:
Type: bug | Status: new
Priority: normal | Component: GHCi
Version: 6.12.2 | Keywords:
Os: Linux | Testcase:
Architecture: x86 | Failure: GHCi crash
-----------------------+----------------------------------------------------
Comment(by pumpkin):
This is just like doing
{{{
instance Eq M
}}}
and having a call to (==) loop between (/=) and (==) infinitely. show
calls shows which calls showsPrec which calls show. I don't think this is
a bug.
