Re: Getting error about unused instances during "sh validate"

Hi Simon, It's strange because I was not getting that before (say 2 weeks ago) and as far as I know I have not changed my build type (always been "quick"). I'll try to see if playing around with -O will change things and report back. Thanks! Alfredo

Does not happen for me. Maybe you are compiling without –O (odd, but possible)? mapMaybeFB is mentioned only inside a RULE, so perhaps it’s regarded as un-referenced without –O?

Hello guys,

am I the only one to get the following when I run "sh validate"?

libraries/base/Data/Maybe.hs:139:1: Warning: Defined but not used: ‘mapMaybeFB’

<no location info>: Failing due to -Werror. make[1]: *** [libraries/base/dist-install/doc/html/base/base.haddock] Error 1 make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... make: *** [all] Error 2

I'm working on this ticket, but I can't see how that can be related:

Thanks! Alfredo
