#9230: Make -fwarn-tabs the default -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: dfeuer | Owner: mlen Type: feature | Status: patch request | Milestone: 7.10.1 Priority: normal | Version: 7.8.2 Component: Compiler | Keywords: Resolution: | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Operating System: | Difficulty: Easy (less than 1 Unknown/Multiple | hour) Type of failure: | Blocked By: None/Unknown | Related Tickets: Test Case: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: Phab:D255 | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Changes (by oerjan): * cc: oerjan (added) Comment: This is an excellent change, but if it is to be newbie-friendly (which I ideally and egoistically define as "telling the user enough ''not'' to make yet another confused post on Stackoverflow"), maybe it could use a more explanatory error message than "Warning: Tab character"? Something like Tab characters aren't displayed portably. They can cause code to look correctly indented when it isn't, or vice versa, wildly varying dependent on the setup of the editor/browser/web site etc. used to view it. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9230#comment:24 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
