#12459: UnboxedTuple makes overloaded labels fail to parse -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: Iceland_jack | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.0.1 (Parser) | Resolution: | Keywords: orf Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Type of failure: GHC rejects | Unknown/Multiple valid program | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by adamgundry): No, I hadn't considered the interaction with unboxed tuple syntax. It is a bit awkward, but the lexical syntax is sufficiently crowded that I doubt we will be able to do better, and we already have similar annoyances involving `.hsc` files. I suppose we could add a sentence to the manual pointing out the conflict and encouraging a style in which overloaded labels are preceded by a space (even when in parentheses). -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12459#comment:5 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
