#10283: Make it possible to suppress warnings produced by -fdefer-type-errors -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: adamgundry | Owner: Type: feature | Status: new request | Milestone: Priority: normal | Version: 7.10.1 Component: Compiler | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple (Type checker) | Type of failure: None/Unknown Keywords: | Blocked By: Architecture: | Related Tickets: Unknown/Multiple | Test Case: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- At the moment, there seems to be no way to suppress warnings generated by `-fdefer-type-errors` (even `-w` doesn't work). It would be nice to be able to silence them, preferably via a new flag `-fno-warn-deferred-type- errors`. The motivation for this comes from using `-fdefer-type-errors` to write tests that certain definitions do not typecheck (which is very useful, and is a cheaper alternative to writing code to invoke GHC on a source file and analyse its output). In this situation, it is annoying to see a large number of warnings when compiling the testsuite. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10283 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
