#11392: Decide and document how semicolons are supposed to work in GHCi -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: bgamari | Owner: (none) Type: task | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.4.1 Component: GHCi | Version: 7.10.3 Resolution: | Keywords: newcomer Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: #10663, #7625 | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by jkiefer): This looks interesting, but it seems to mostly already be resolved. With #10663, GHCi simply rejects multiple imports separated by semicolons. I'm not sure when this got fixed, but testing with GHCi 8.0.2 the parser state issue seems to have been fixed: {{{ λ> data Infix a b = a :@: b; infixl 7 :@: λ> a <interactive>:2:1: error: Variable not in scope: a }}} Is there any more to be done? -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11392#comment:5 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
