#13075: Top-level bang pattern accepted -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: goldfire | Owner: goldfire Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.0.1 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: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- When I compile/link {{{#!hs {-# LANGUAGE BangPatterns #-} module Main where !(Just x) = Nothing main = putStrLn "hi there!" }}} I get {{{ rae:09:50:49 ~/temp> ghc Bug.hs [1 of 1] Compiling Main ( Bug.hs, Bug.o ) Linking Bug ... ld: can't open output file for writing: Bug, errno=21 for architecture x86_64 clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation) `gcc' failed in phase `Linker'. (Exit code: 1) }}} This bogus code should be rejected more gracefully (and earlier). It actually also loads into GHCi, but shouldn't. Will fix while I'm in the area. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/13075 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
