Serge

Thanks very much for the bug report.  I've fixed it, so do try again with the 
next release candidate.

Thanks

Simon

| Subject: report on 7.01-pre
| 
| Dear GHC developers,
| 
| http://botik.ru/pub/local/Mechveliani/ghcBugs/ghc701preBug.zip
| 
| contains a bug report on              ghc-7.0.0.20100924
| tested on  Debian Linux, i386-family.
| 
| Its essence is as follows. At the fragment of
| 
| ---------------------------------------------------------------------
| instance (LinSolvRing (Pol a), CommutativeRing a) =>                  -- (1)
|                                            LinSolvRing (UPol (Pol a))
|   where
|   gxBasis  []       = ([], [])
|   gxBasis  fs@(f:_) =
|     let
|       UPol _ p y dP    = f
|       (o, n)           = (pPPO p, genericLength $ pVars p)
|       (toLex, fromLex) = (reordPol $ lexPPO n, reordPol o)
|       p'               = toLex p
|       dP'              = upLinSolvRing p' Map.empty
|       s' = cToUPol y dP' p'
|   ...
| ---------------------------------------------------------------------
| 
| in the module  Pol3_.hs,  ghc-7.0.0.20100924  reports that
| the line of  `s' ='  needs  (EuclideanRing a)  and that it cannot deduce
| it.
| 
| ghc-6.12.2  compiles this in a correct way:
| (EuclideanRing a)  is not necessary here, while the context (1) is more
| generic and sufficient.
| For example, for  a = DirectSum Integer Integer,
| `a' has the instances (1) and has not the instance of Euclidean, and
| the above code must work.
| This is the idea of the author of the application;
| this idea is supported by ghc-6.12.2 and not supported by
| ghc-7.0.0.20100924.
| 
| There are the two questions.
| 1) Whether this intention with instances is correct in the meaning of
|    Haskell + ghcExt
|    (I hope, it is correct, at least, ghc-6.12.2 accepts it).
| 2) If it is correct, why   ghc-7.0.0.20100924  requires (Euclidean a) ?
| 
| Notices
| -------
| a) This application uses multiparametric classes and overlapping
|    instances (see docon.cabal for language and other options).
| b) The example code can be reduced further, many times.
|    But I may have time to reduce it maybe only in the middle of
|    December 2010.
| 
| Regards,
|
