I'll try to get this up in a bug report on trac as soon as it's back
up, but in case I forget, here's the problem:
The attached Demo.hs compiles on 6.10, but not on 6.12rc1
The output --ddump-splices for 6.10:
>>>
Demo.hs:1:0:
Demo.hs:1:0: Splicing declarations
test
======>
Demo.hs:6:2-5
myFunction[aLQ] = Demo2.testFun []
Ok, modules loaded: Demo2, Main.
<<<
In 6.12rc1:
>>>
Demo.hs:1:0:
Demo.hs:1:0: Splicing declarations
test
======>
Demo.hs:6:2-5
myFunction[aNX] = testFun ""
Demo.hs:6:2:
Couldn't match expected type `[Char]' against inferred type `Char'
Expected type: [String]
Inferred type: [Char]
In the first argument of `testFun', namely `""'
In the expression: testFun ""
Failed, modules loaded: Demo2.
<<<
Note that what was spliced in as [] is now being spliced in as "",
which is incorrect.
