[Haskell-cafe] different behaviours with or without putStrLn

[Corentin Dupont]

Hi,
I've tried the make an instance of NFData for all types, although I have a
problem with the GATD:







*data MyGADT a where   MyField :: b -> MyGADT (Maybe b)instance NFData a =>
NFData (MyGADT a) where   rnf (MyField b) = (rnf b)*
Gives me :
    Could not deduce (NFData b) arising from a use of `rnf'
    from the context (NFData a)

Which I understand (that's because a ~ *Maybe b *and not* a ~ b *due to the
declaration of *MyField b *being of type *MyGADT (Maybe b)*)

*But I have no idea how to solve that??*

*Thanks...*

*Corentin*
