Why is it possible to derive BEq
and Repr
for this type:
structure Foo (t) where
f1 : t
f2 : Array t
deriving BEq, Repr
But not possible for this one:
structure Bar (t) where
f1 : t
deriving BEq, Repr
/-
failed to synthesize instance
BEq t✝
failed to synthesize instance
Repr t✝

Is it to do with the fact that Array
prevents t : Prop
(and BEq
expects t : Type _
)?
structure Foo (t : Type _) where
f1 : t
deriving BEq, Repr -- works
