#11789: Flag suggestion does not always work -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: nomeata | Owner: Type: feature | Status: new request | Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Driver | Version: 8.1 Keywords: newcomer | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: None/Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Usually, GHC is very helpfully telling me about misspelled flags, but sometimes it fails. Did not yet look deeper, but when I wrote `-fppr- cols=1000` it did not suggest `-dppr-cols=1000`. I am not sure if this is due to the `=` or whether it branches on `-f` vs. `-d` earlier. This surely can be improved! Likely newcomer-friendly.. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11789 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
