#15242: Typechecker sometimes doesn't preserve HsPar in original source. -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: wz1000 | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.5 (Type checker) | Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: Other Unknown/Multiple | Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- The typechecker doesn't preserve parenthesis that occur at the head of applications. This results in some weird SrcSpans in the TypecheckedSource For example, given code {{{#!hs foo a b c = (bar a) b c }}} The typechecker will emit an HsApp with head spanning over `bar a) b` and tail spanning over `c`. Notice that the opening parenthesis is not included. On the other hand, the renamer will generate the expected SrcSpans that always include both parenthesis, or neither. This becomes an issue when you want to associate RenamedSource with its corresponding TypecheckedSource, as the SrcSpans no longer match and overlap partially. This occurs due to this line in TcExpr.hs {{{#!hs tcApp m_herald (L _ (HsPar _ fun)) args res_ty = tcApp m_herald fun args res_ty }}} I have a work in progress fix here: https://github.com/wz1000/ghc/commit/3b6db5a35dc8677a7187e349a85ffd51f452452... -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/15242 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
