#8710: Overlapping patterns warning misplaced -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: goldfire | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: low | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.7 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Type of failure: Incorrect | Unknown/Multiple warning at compile-time | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by thomie): I would maybe prefer separate warnings, such that even for a single redundant clause, the warning message doesn't have to mention two different line numbers (one for the location of the whole match, and one for the location of the redundant clause). I don't know if there is precedent for multiple line numbers in a warning message. Either way is fine though. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8710#comment:3 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
