#9177: Suggest Int when user uses int -------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Reporter: nomeata | Owner: nomeata Type: feature request | Status: patch Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.8.2 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Difficulty: Unknown Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: #1388 -------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Changes (by nomeata): * status: new => patch Comment: Another example of this logic leading the user into a direction that will cause a different error: {{{ Prelude> let foo = () Prelude> let g = Foo -- good suggestion <interactive>:5:9: Not in scope: data constructor ‘Foo’ Perhaps you meant variable ‘foo’ (line 2) Prelude> let f (Foo x) = x -- bad suggestion <interactive>:3:8: Not in scope: data constructor ‘Foo’ Perhaps you meant variable ‘foo’ (line 2) }}} Anyways, I pushed it to `wip/T9177` for review (but will likely push to master in the next days; people can still complain afterwards). -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9177#comment:4 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
