GLR_Lib.hs "Couldn't match expected type ‘Bool’ with actual type ‘Int#’"

[andreasabel]

GLR mode seems broken. Trying to compile the generated parser reports several instances of the error Couldn't match expected type ‘Bool’ with actual type ‘Int#’.
E.g

GLR_Lib.hs:236:33: error:
    • Couldn't match expected type ‘Bool’ with actual type ‘Int#’
    • In the expression: (this_state ==# goto this_state m)
      In a stmt of a list comprehension:
        (this_state ==# goto this_state m)
      In the expression:
        [m |
           (m, 0, _) <- rs,
           (this_state ==# goto this_state m),
           m `notElem` cyclic_names]

I get the same error (happy 1.19.12, Haskell Platform 2020.2)

It works if I remove the --ghc flag

Thanks @taasan for the hint, that helped me to fix BNFC/bnfc#340!

@andreasabel do you know what version you encountered this originally in? (Or, to cut to the chase, was it 3.20 the latest?)

No, this issue is quite a bit older. A couple of years... Could it be due to some non-backwards compatible change in GHC?

Thanks, @andreasabel.
