#12959: GHC doesn't warn about missing implementations for class methods beginning with an underscore -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: RyanGlScott | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.0.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: Other | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Changes (by RyanGlScott): * cc: simonpj (added) Comment: At the very least, I've found the commit ( http://git.haskell.org/ghc.git/commit/96f33e63fe913298becbef33bf95daee98fbe4... ) all the way back from 2001 which introduced this quirk: {{{ From 96f33e63fe913298becbef33bf95daee98fbe44d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: unknown <simonpj@MSRC-4971295.europe.corp.microsoft.com> Date: Tue, 24 Sep 2013 20:01:31 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Move defaultClassMinimalDef from BuildTyCl to TcClassDcl Simple refactoring. Also in Vectorise.Types/TyConDecl, simply propagate the classMinimalDef from the class we are vectorising. Simpler and more direct. --- compiler/iface/BuildTyCl.lhs | 12 +----------- compiler/typecheck/TcClassDcl.lhs | 18 +++++++++++++----- compiler/vectorise/Vectorise/Type/TyConDecl.hs | 4 ++-- 3 files changed, 16 insertions(+), 18 deletions(-) }}} Simon, do you remember why you made this change? The commit description doesn't really allude to it (other than "Simple refactoring"). -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12959#comment:3> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
