#8159: Uses of Binary decode should have a proper error message -------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Reporter: nh2 | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: low | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.6.3 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Unknown/Multiple | Difficulty: Easy (less than 1 hour) Type of failure: | Blocked By: None/Unknown | Related Tickets: Test Case: | Blocking: | -------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Comment (by adamgundry): It would be nice to give this a better error message that explains what is going on. I quite often get messages like this when changing the interface file format: {{{ ghc-stage2: panic! (the 'impossible' happened) (GHC version 7.7.20130821 for i386-unknown-linux): Ix{Int}.index: Index (4352) out of range ((0,582)) }}} -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8159#comment:1 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
