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?

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

 

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....

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