#13917: The line on which to locate the error indication is bad. -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: vanto | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.0.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Type of failure: Incorrect | Unknown/Multiple error/warning at compile-time | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by vanto): Replying to [[span(style=color: #FF0000, goldfire )]]\\ OK. It is preferable to indicate the line where there is the syntax error. And the compiler does so in the majority of cases. Here what is the best solution?\\ If the error is on the line {{{main}}}, do you move {{{main}}} to the right of two spaces? And so you create disorder in your code, or you correct the line above? If you correct the line above, GHC should indicate this line for correction. But perhaps this is too difficult to code?\\ In this specific case what do you suggest? -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/13917#comment:6 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
