#14313: “Result signatures are no longer supported in pattern matches” lost -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: nomeata | Owner: (none) Type: task | Status: new Priority: low | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.2.1 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: None/Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: #2310 Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- This commit (b98ff25f4c8cb4bf18b784c848fabaaa6e4b11b8) from two years ago broke the error message (at least according to when `T2310.stderr` was modified): {{{ T2310.hs:5:22: Illegal result type signature ‘a’ Result signatures are no longer supported in pattern matches In a lambda abstraction: \ x :: a -> (x :: a) }}} that was displayed previously. Either we do want that error message (then this is a bug) or we don’t care about this error message any more, then probably we can remove the `m_type` field of `Match` in `HsExpr`. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/14313 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
