#15660: source file modify race leads to inconsistent error message -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: joeyhess | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: low | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.2.2 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Linux | Architecture: Type of failure: Poor/confusing | Unknown/Multiple error message | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by bgamari): I argued for your second option when we were discussion how to implement caret diagnostics. However, others made the very reasonable counterpoint that this won't work well with CPP. This is unfortunate, but CPP is too commonplace to ignore at this point. Copying sources to `/tmp` sounds plausible, although could be a bit painful to implement. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/15660#comment:4 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
