Fabian Schmalzried (Mar 11 2023 at 13:54): Fabian Schmalzried (Mar 11 2023 at 13:54):I just tried something recursive and noticed the following:
The following checks:
LinkedList a : [ Nil, Cons ({ value: a, next: (LinkedList a)})]
But this does not check with a "cyclic alias" error:
LinkedList a : [ Nil, Cons (Node a)]
Node a : { value: a, next: (LinkedList a)}
Is this a bug, or is my understanding wrong?
Brendan Hansknecht (Mar 11 2023 at 14:54):I think bug. Could you file something on GitHub?
Brendan Hansknecht (Mar 11 2023 at 14:55):I think current roc has some limitations.
Ayaz Hafiz (Mar 11 2023 at 15:04):this is a known bug. unfortunately it is unlikely to be fixed soon. You can workaround it by inlining either “Node” or “LinkedList” into the other
