Problematic about this bug is that the wrong indentation can be arbitrary many lines from where ghc reports the (totally incomprehensible) error. My original problem is to find the syntax error here: {{{#!hs -- | Type check a function clause. checkClause :: Type -> A.SpineClause -> TCM Clause checkClause t c(a)(A.Clause (A.SpineLHS i x aps withPats) rhs0 wh) = do unless (null withPats) $ do typeError $ UnexpectedWithPatterns withPats traceCall (CheckClause t c) $ do aps <- expandPatternSynonyms aps checkLeftHandSide (CheckPatternShadowing c) (Just x) aps t $ \ (LHSResult delta ps trhs perm) -> do -- Note that we might now be in irrelevant context, -- in case checkLeftHandSide walked over an irrelevant projection pattern. -- As we will be type-checking the @rhs@ in @delta@, but the final -- body should have bindings in the order of the pattern variables, -- we need to apply the permutation to the checked rhs @v@. let mkBody v = foldr (\ x t -> Bind $ Abs x t) b xs where b = Body $ applySubst (renamingR perm) v xs = [ stringToArgName $ "h" ++ show n | n <- [0..permRange perm - 1] ] -- introduce trailing implicits for checking the where decls TelV htel t0 <- telViewUpTo' (-1) (not . visible) $ unArg trhs (body, with) <- do let n = size htel addCtxTel htel $ checkWhere (size delta + n) wh $ -- for the body, we remove the implicits again escapeContext n $ handleRHS aps (unArgs trhs) rhs0 escapeContext (size delta) $ checkWithFunction with reportSDoc "tc.lhs.top" 10 $ escapeContext (size delta) $ vcat [ text "Clause before translation:" , nest 2 $ vcat [ text "delta =" <+> prettyTCM delta , text "perm =" <+> text (show perm) , text "ps =" <+> text (show ps) , text "body =" <+> text (show body) , text "body =" <+> prettyTCM body ] ] return $ Clause { clauseRange = getRange i , clauseTel = killRange delta , clausePerm = perm , namedClausePats = ps , clauseBody = body , clauseType = Just trhs } }}} {{{ src/full/Agda/TypeChecking/Rules/Def.hs:328:5: Parse error in pattern: checkLeftHandSide Possibly caused by a missing 'do'? }}} -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11188> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

[GHC] #10933: REMOVED pragma

#10933: REMOVED pragma -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: goldfire | Owner: Type: feature | Status: new request | Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.10.2 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: None/Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Say I have a function that's been deprecated for some time. Then I remove it. Some clients will still use the now-missing function. It would be nice to give a helpful error message, instead of a "symbol not found" error. I thus propose a `REMOVED` pragma. The syntax is identical to `DEPRECATED`, except for the name of the pragma. Whenever a `REMOVED` function is mentioned, the error message includes the string from the pragma. (This includes trying to define a `REMOVED` class method in an instance.)

[GHC] #10189: explicit promotions of prefix data constructors can't be parsed naturally

#10189: explicit promotions of prefix data constructors can't be parsed naturally -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: Kinokkory | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.8.4 (Parser) | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Keywords: | Type of failure: GHC rejects Architecture: | valid program Unknown/Multiple | Blocked By: Test Case: | Related Tickets: Blocking: | Differential Revisions: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- When used as an infix operator, a data constructor is explicitly promoted simply with `'` prefixed, but when used as a prefix operator enclosed between `(` and `)`, it is explicitly promoted only with `'` put before `(`, not before the constructor. On the other hand, messages of GHC and GHCi indicate that a data constructor operator in a prefix form is promoted by putting `'` before the constructor! (as in `forall (k :: BOX) (k :: BOX). (':*)` below.) I believe that this is a matter of parsing. The parser should admit `(':*)` as well as `'(:*)` for the naturalness of the syntax. In a GHCi: {{{#!hs > :set -XDataKinds -XTypeOperators > data a :* b = a :* b > :kind! Int :* Int Int :* Int :: * = Int :* Int > :kind! Int ':* Int Int ':* Int :: * :* * = Int ':* Int > :kind! (:*) (:*) :: * -> * -> * = (:*) > :kind! '(:*) '(:*) :: k -> k1 -> k :* k1 = forall (k :: BOX) (k :: BOX). (':*) > :kind! (':*) <interactive>:1:3: parse error on input ‘:*’ }}} (By the way I assume that Template Haskell quotes (`'function` and `''Type`) are parsed by the same mechanism as the one for the explicit promotion syntax. I hope both styles of quotes for prefix operators will be admitted because currently only the `'(` `''(` style is admitted.) -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10189> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

Instead they are only covered by the Tick for the entire application `x + 1` (resp. `foo y`). I'm trying to use the new SourceNote infrastructure to map CoreExprs back to their original source location, but unfortunately I need these locations for each identifier in the source.

Oh, and `spInfoSrcLoc :: (Int,Int)` too! This is madness! Five different representations for the same information in one package! Let's fix this by defining some shared data types, for * `Module` = `ModuleName` + package * `Entity` = `Module` + unqualified name There would be a tiresome changeover period; but `Typeable` and `StaticPtr` are in flux anyway.
