#8278: Improve error message when the same type is imported from two different library versions ------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: Yuras | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.6.3 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Type of failure: None/Unknown Difficulty: Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | ------------------------------------+------------------------------------- When a package indirectly depends on different versions of the same library, ghc reports cryptic error: {{{ Couldn't match expected type `ByteString' with actual type `bytestring-0.9.2.1:Data.ByteString.Internal.ByteString' }}} Error contains fully qualified type with package name and version only when the type is imported from different versions on the library, so looks like ghc knows what is wrong. Is it possible to add something like the next: {{{ Note: ByteString is imported from different package versions: bytestring-0.9.2.1 and bytestring-0.10.0.1 }}} It is inspired by a number of StackOverflow questions (e.g. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12576817/couldnt-match-expected-type- with-actual-type-error-when-using-codec-bmp/12577025#12577025, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18767086/bytestring-to-lazy-text-and- vice-versa/18769431?noredirect=1#comment27676563_18769431) -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8278> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

[GHC] #10576: REPL returns list of all imported names when operator completion requested

#10576: REPL returns list of all imported names when operator completion requested -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: Geraldus | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: GHCi | Version: 7.8.4 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple completions complete command | Type of failure: Incorrect result operator | at runtime Architecture: | Blocked By: Unknown/Multiple | Related Tickets: Test Case: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- When querying completions for operators GHCi returns a list containing all imported names rather than suitable completions. For example, if you simply start GHCi and run `:complete repl ">>"` command it will give you all names from base and Prelude. Then if you import something else, for example `:m +Data.Text`, the result of query will contain names from Data.Text also. In case of projects (`cabal repl`) things are worst, because returned list contains all names imported project-wise and it could be really huge. GHCi behaves similarly with following queries: :complete repl "(>>" :complete repl "Prelude.>>" :complete repl "Prelude.(>>" I only tested this on OS X 10.9, GHC 7.8.4 -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10576> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

#9920: Segfault in arm binary ----------------------------+------------------------------------------- Reporter: erikd | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.9 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: arm | Type of failure: Runtime crash Difficulty: Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Revisions: ----------------------------+------------------------------------------- Using ghc HEAD (6713f0d9a) I compile a very simple program which segfaults immediately. Stepping through it using GDB I find its crashing on the instruction {{{ 0x3f5a98 <stg_init_finish$def+12> ldr r5, [r5] }}} and that just before this instruction the value of `r5` is zero. That means its trying to load into `r5` the value at the address in `r5`. Obviously that's going to segfault. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9920> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

#9022: TH pretty printer and GHC parser semicolon placement mismatch ----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- Reporter: roldugin | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.8.2 (Parser) | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Keywords: | Type of failure: GHC rejects valid program Architecture: | Test Case: Unknown/Multiple | Blocking: Difficulty: Unknown | Blocked By: | Related Tickets: | ----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- In GHC 7.8 TemplateHaskell pretty printer started inserting explicit braces and semicolons. It puts semicolons at the end of the line as opposed to the beginning of the next line.

In particular it stalls while desugaring the `Thread` module. The fact that this module contains non-trivial pattern matching, coupled with the compiler gets stuck in `Desugar`, and the fact that I've noted other performance issues with the new exhaustiveness checker (see #10711) leads me to believe that this patch is to blame. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11161> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
