#9230: Make -fwarn-tabs the default -------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Reporter: dfeuer | Owner: jstolarek Type: feature | Status: new request | Milestone: Priority: normal | Version: 7.8.2 Component: Compiler | Keywords: Resolution: | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Operating System: | Difficulty: Easy (less than 1 hour) Unknown/Multiple | Blocked By: Type of failure: | Related Tickets: None/Unknown | Test Case: | Blocking: | -------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Comment (by dfeuer): I looked into what making -fwarn-tabs the default would break in the GHC tree, and the answer appears to be "very little". It looks like the only files that use tabs for layout, use -Werror, and don't specify -fno-warn- tabs are libraries/time/Test/{ShowDST.hs,TimeZone.hs,CurrentTime.hs} and a test file that's designed to break from the tab warning. So contrary to some initial fears thoughtpolice raised in IRC, it will *not* be necessary to detab the whole GHC source to make this change. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9230#comment:4 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
