#7396: Improve "parse error on input `$'" when TemplateHaskell PRAGMA not declared ----------------------------------------+--------------------------- Reporter: ydewit | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Template Haskell | Version: 7.4.2 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: MacOS X | Architecture: x86 Type of failure: Building GHC failed | Difficulty: Unknown Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: ----------------------------------------+--------------------------- Changes (by parcs): * status: closed => new * resolution: wontfix => Comment: Hi, This set of three patches augments errors that may be caused by not having TH enabled, to suggest enabling TH. Parse errors like the following will now suggest enabling TemplateHaskell: {{{ module A where $foo }}} {{{ module B where foo }}} {{{ module C where bar = 3 + $(x) }}} Of course, these are only heuristics so there will be false-positive and false-negative cases. But I think these heuristics will help more than they will hurt. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7396#comment:3 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
