#8542: Suggest NegativeLiterals -------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Reporter: monoidal | Owner: Type: bug | Status: patch Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.7 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Difficulty: Unknown Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Changes (by monoidal): * status: new => patch Comment: Patch attached. It also gives an (incorrect) suggestion for 128 :: Int8, but this shouldn't matter. While we are at it: to determine whether an `Int` literal is correct we test with `minBound :: Int` and `maxBound :: Int`. This can vary between machines. Should this be changed to testing against `2^30` or something similar? -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8542#comment:1 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
