#14590: Sectioned hole oddities -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: RyanGlScott | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.2.2 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: None/Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: #13050 Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- #13050 added support for infix holes. However, it seems that the same support was not added for //sectioned// holes, as the following two examples demonstrate: Left-sectioned holes technically work, although they are pretty-printed poorly: {{{#!hs f :: Int -> Int -> Int f x y = (x `_`) y }}} {{{ GHCi, version 8.2.2: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ :? for help Loaded GHCi configuration from /home/rgscott/.ghci [1 of 1] Compiling Main ( Bug.hs, interpreted ) Bug.hs:2:12: error: • Found hole: _ :: Int -> Int -> Int • In the expression: _ In the expression: \ x_ -> _ x x_ ) In the expression: ( \ x_ -> _ x x_ )) y • Relevant bindings include y :: Int (bound at Bug.hs:2:5) x :: Int (bound at Bug.hs:2:3) f :: Int -> Int -> Int (bound at Bug.hs:2:1) | 2 | f x y = (x `_`) y | ^^^ }}} Notice the messy `In the expression: \ x_ -> _ x x_ )` part. Right-sectioned holes don't even parse at all: {{{#!hs f :: Int -> Int -> Int f x y = (`_` x) y }}} {{{ GHCi, version 8.2.2: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ :? for help Loaded GHCi configuration from /home/rgscott/.ghci [1 of 1] Compiling Main ( Bug.hs, interpreted ) Bug.hs:2:11: error: parse error on input ‘_’ | 2 | f x y = (`_` x) y | ^ }}} -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/14590> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

#14597: Consider removing uses of unsafeGlobalDynFlags for -dppr-debug -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: bgamari | Owner: (none) Type: task | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.2.1 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: None/Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Currently various functions in `Outputable` use `unsafeGlobalDynFlags` to get the state of `-dppr-debug`. `unsafeGlobalDynFlags` is rather ugly, being a blob of global state spanning both module compilations and GHC API sessions. Consequently, we might consider removing it. On the other hand, `-dppr-debug` is strictly a debug flag and removing `unsafeGlobalDynFlags` would likely require a lot more piping around of `DynFlags`. Consequently I suspect our current compromise of using `unsafeGlobalDynFlags` is the right solution. Nevertheless, I thought I would jot down the task. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/14597> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
