#9182: Empty case analysis for function clauses ------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: dfranke | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: low | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.8.2 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Type of failure: None/Unknown Difficulty: Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | ------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Thanks to `-XEmptyCase`, the following is legal: {{{ module Empty where data Empty empty :: Empty -> a empty x = case x of { } }}} However, if I leave off the last line, GHC will complain that `The type signature for ‘empty’ lacks an accompanying binding`. I think this program should be accepted. It isn't that I'm not giving a definition for `empty`; it's that I'm defining it to be a function with no accompanying equations, as could be represented in Template Haskell by $(return [FunD (mkName "empty") []]) Currently, this too is rejected, with GHC complaining `Function binding for ‘empty’ has no equations`. I think this should be legal, with an empty list of clauses in a function definition being treated the same way as an empty list of matches in a case expression. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9182> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

[GHC] #9202: Strange Closure Type

#9202: Strange Closure Type -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: athanclark | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.8.2 Keywords: strange-closure- | Operating System: Linux type | Type of failure: Compile-time Architecture: x86_64 (amd64) | crash Difficulty: Project (more | Test Case: than a week) | Blocking: Blocked By: | Related Tickets: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Hello masters of the universe, I am here with a plea. I have recently installed GHC 7.8.2 and cabal-install 1.20.0.0 (following [https://gist.github.com/wting/8498731 this] guide), and have ran into a fun road block on the way to installing yesod-platform. I have had a few incidents of the 'strange closure type ###' error on this machine before, on the 7.6.x version available in Ubuntu's repository. I believe this failure is occuring when installing text, because that was the error that I got when installing attoparsec alone, but without a sandbox. I know (barely) better now, so when I went to install yesod-platform, I did a {{{cabal unpack $1 && cd $1* && cabal sandbox init && cabal install --only-dependencies && cabal build}}}, but I failed at preventing the error, still :( I've attached the output as output.txt, and I've also included my `lspci` and `lshw` outputs just for giggles :) I hope someone can direct me in the right direction, I would appreciate it tremendously. Thank you! -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9202> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

#10581: Recommend ScopedTypeVariables -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: goldfire | Owner: Type: feature | Status: new request | Milestone: Priority: normal | Version: 7.10.1 Component: Compiler | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Keywords: | Type of failure: None/Unknown Architecture: | Blocked By: Unknown/Multiple | Related Tickets: Test Case: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- The !ScopedTypeVariables extension is one of the few that doesn't recommend itself when it should be used. I recognize that this may be hard to do, but here is a strawman proposal: Always behave as if !ScopedTypeVariables is on at binding sites for type variables (in an annotation with `forall`). Then, at ''occurrences'' of type variables, check if the extension is on. If a type variable is in scope but the extension is off, remember that the user probably wants the extension, but then rename the type variable occurrence away from the in- scope one. If a type error ensues, we've remembered that the lack of !ScopedTypeVariables may be to blame, and we recommend turning it on. There may be better approaches, too. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10581> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

Apparently the man page is auto-generated from the user manual(thanks @int-e), and while doing that "reverse" column is also included. We should probably either ignore "reverse" column while parsing the user manual parts or somehow re-format generated man page lines. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10921> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

During ICFP this costed me and Richard a total of around 6 man-hours. We should replace that assertion with something more meaningful. One thing we could do is add an assertion to the definition of `THNames.templateHaskellNames` that makes sure that `length templateHaskellNames == length (nub templateHaskellNames)`. That by itself is very simple but the problem is that the uninformative assertion given above still kicks in first. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10872> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

Currently, {{{template-haskell}}} has {{{Strict}}}: {{{#!hs data Strict = IsStrict | NotStrict | Unpacked }}} But it appears that there are actually nine different combinations of packedness and strictness annotations: {{{#!hs data A = A Int -- No unpackedness, no strictness data A = A !Int -- No unpackedness, strict data A = A ~Int -- No unpackedness, lazy data A = A {-# NOUNPACK #-} A Int -- NOUNPACK, no strictness data A = A {-# NOUNPACK #-} A !Int -- NOUNPACK, strict data A = A {-# NOUNPACK #-} A ~Int -- NOUNPACK, lazy data A = A {-# UNPACK #-} A Int -- UNPACK, no strictness data A = A {-# UNPACK #-} A !Int -- UNPACK, strict data A = A {-# UNPACK #-} A ~Int -- UNPACK, lazy }}} It seems like the most consistent thing to do would be change {{{Strict}}} and add {{{Unpack}}} to the {{{template-haskell}}} API: {{{#!hs data Strict = IsStrict | NotStrict | IsLazy data Unpack = Unpack | NoUnpack | NotUnpacked type UnpackStrictType = (Unpack, Strict, Type) type VarUnpackStrictType = (Name, Unpack, Strict, Type) }}} And so on. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10697> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
