Why does GHC infer type of `IO b` for an application of `hSetBuffering`?

I am trying to use hSetBuffering in a Haskell program using GHC 6.10. When I try this very simple program:

module Ctlc
where

import IO

main :: ()
main = do hSetBuffering stdout NoBuffering
          return ()

I get a baffling error message:

ctlc.hs:8:10:
    Couldn't match expected type `()' against inferred type `IO b'
    In a stmt of a 'do' expression: hSetBuffering stdout NoBuffering
    In the expression:
        do hSetBuffering stdout NoBuffering
           return ()
    In the definition of `main':
        main = do hSetBuffering stdout NoBuffering
                  return ()

I don't get why GHC is inferring a type of IO b , since ghci claims

Prelude Data.List IO> :t hSetBuffering
hSetBuffering :: Handle -> BufferMode -> IO ()

ANSWER : I stupidly put the wrong type on main . Thanks ja for sharp eyes.


你声明main是类型(),而不是IO()。


该函数必须具有某种IO类型,因为实现将执行系统调用。
