#11082: Tweak workflow around overlong lines -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: goldfire | Owner: Type: task | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Build System | Version: 7.10.2 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by jstolarek): Copy-paste from ghc-devs (since Richard requested): Firstly, I hate explaining myself to Arcanist. When prompted to explain the reason for too long lines I typically enter "wontfix" without thinking too much. Secondly, I really don't like how warnings clutter code reviews. I have my Emacs highlight text beyond 80th column with a really ugly colour, so I strive real hard to maintain 80-column limit whenever possible. But sometimes fitting in that limit is nearly impossible: imagine being in a let nested in a do-notation nested in a guard nested in a where clause. Approx. 15-20 columns are lost for the indentation. Nevertheless I would support introducing a hard limit on having no more than 80 columns. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11082#comment:3 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
