#10347: Spurious "unused constructor" warning with Coercible -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: goldfire | Owner: goldfire Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.11 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: Incorrect Unknown/Multiple | warning at compile-time Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Revisions: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- When I say {{{ {-# LANGUAGE RoleAnnotations #-} module Bug (N, twiddle) where import Data.Coerce newtype N a = MkN Int type role N representational twiddle :: N a -> N b twiddle = coerce }}} I get {{{ Bug.hs:7:15: warning: Defined but not used: data constructor ‘MkN’ }}} But the constructor ''is'' used, in order to do the coercion. The role annotation is to force GHC to use the constructor to do the coercion -- otherwise, it might not have. This bug exists in 7.10 and in HEAD. I will fix. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10347> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

[GHC] #9207: Detect obvious cases of infinite recursion.

#9207: Detect obvious cases of infinite recursion. --------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Reporter: mrugiero | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.8.2 Keywords: infinite recursion | Operating System: Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Unknown/Multiple Difficulty: Unknown | Type of failure: None/Unknown Blocked By: | Test Case: Related Tickets: | Blocking: --------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Pure functions are guaranteed to return the same value if the same arguments are used. Because of that, a compiler could be able to detect infinite recursion in the form of a function calling itself with the same arguments (case, some distracted programmer forgot to apply the function tail to a list). The way I see it, one of Haskell's main selling points is that it helps the programmer to avoid sources of bugs as much as it can, and infinite recursion is one of the few that stand unchecked. I specifically point to this example because both, I'm a newbie and made that newbie mistake, and think it shouldn't be hard to implement to the parsing stage of the compiler/interpreter. It probably should throw an error when this happens in pure functions, and maybe an opt-in warning if it happens in monads. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9207> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

They are simply ''inconsistent'' in the sense of Definition 6 of the [http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/people/simonpj/papers/fd- chr/jfp06.pdf FDs through CHRs paper]. Sadly GHC does not currently reject these as inconsistent. As a result it'll use ''both'' instance for improvement. In the definition of `f` for example we get {{{ C [alpha] beta }}} where `x:alpha` and the result type of `f` is `beta`. By using both instances for improvement we get {{{ C [Maybe gamma] [Maybe gamma] }}} Is that what we want? The two instances don't ''contradict'' each other, but neither do they agree as all published work on FDs says they should! Examples in the testsuite that exploit this loophole are {{{ ghci/scripts ghci047 polykinds T9106 typecheck/should_compile FD4 typecheck/should_compile T7875 }}} I'm not sure what the right thing here is. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10675> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

[GHC] #10854: Remove recursive uses of `pprParendHsExpr` from `HsExpr.ppr_expr`

#10854: Remove recursive uses of `pprParendHsExpr` from `HsExpr.ppr_expr` -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: goldfire | Owner: Type: task | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.10.2 Keywords: newcomer | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: None/Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Revisions: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- An `HsExpr` should look exactly as a user wrote some Haskell code. Its pretty printer should therefore be quite dumb. Just print out the code! But a few places in GHC create `HsExpr`s and aren't scrupulous with regard to adding `HsPar` nodes where source syntax would need them. Thus, well- meaning souls have added `pprParendExpr` calls to the `HsExpr` pretty- printer to try to cover these cases. Simon and I [https://phabricator.haskell.org/D1219#34199 think] that we should remove all recursive uses of `pprParendExpr` from the `HsExpr` pretty-printer and instead add the `HsPar`s where necessary. It was recently reported that the following test cases break when simply removing `pprParendExpr`: {{{ Unexpected failures: deriving/should_fail T4846 [stderr mismatch] (normal) generics GenDerivOutput [stderr mismatch] (normal) generics GenDerivOutput1_0 [stderr mismatch] (normal) generics GenDerivOutput1_1 [stderr mismatch] (normal) ghci/scripts T10248 [bad stderr] (ghci) indexed-types/should_compile PushedInAsGivens [stderr mismatch] (normal) safeHaskell/safeLanguage SafeLang10 [stderr mismatch] (normal) safeHaskell/safeLanguage SafeLang17 [stderr mismatch] (normal) typecheck/should_fail T8603 [stderr mismatch] (normal) typecheck/should_fail tcfail177 [stderr mismatch] (normal) }}} See also considerable commentary on Phab:D1114. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10854> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
