Attached is a module containing code from XMonadContrib that does not
type-check anymore with ghc 7.0.1 rc1. I tried to strip the code somewhat
down; at least it only depends on base and mtl. Here's the (somewhat
irritating) error message:
{{{
tcBug.hs:50:30:
Could not deduce (Typeable a)
from the context (Typeable a, Show ts, HList ts a, LayoutClass l a)
arising from a use of `fromMessage'
Possible fix:
add (Typeable a) to the context of the instance declaration
In a stmt of a pattern guard for
an equation for `handleMessage':
Just (Toggle t) <- fromMessage m
In an equation for `handleMessage':
handleMessage mt m
| Just (Toggle t) <- fromMessage m,
i@(Just _) <- find (transformers mt) t
= case currLayout mt of {
EL l det
-> do { l' <- fromMaybe l
`fmap`
handleMessage l (SomeMessage
ReleaseResources);
.... }
where
cur = (i == currIndex mt) }
| otherwise
= case currLayout mt of {
EL l det
-> fmap (fmap (\ x -> mt {currLayout = EL x det}))
$ handleMessage l m }
In the instance declaration for `LayoutClass (MultiToggle ts l) a'
