#9828: genprimopcode: parse error ----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- Reporter: erikd | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.9 Keywords: | Operating System: Linux Architecture: powerpc | Type of failure: Building GHC failed Difficulty: Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Revisions: ----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- Building git HEAD on powerpc-linux I get: {{{ "inplace/bin/genprimopcode" --data-decl < compiler/stage1/build/primops.txt > compiler/stage1/build/primop-data-decl.hs-incl genprimopcode: parse error at "Parse error at line 42, column 8" }}} If I look at line 42 of `compiler/stage1/build/primops.txt` I see: {{{ -- SCALAR_TYPE is the scalar type used to inject to/project from vector }}} The word "vector" from the comment got wrapped onto the next line for no good reason. I've checked the file `compiler/prelude/primops.txt.pp` which is processed to generate the file I'm having problems with and that file is fine. I've cloned a new copy of the repo and done the usual `perl boot && ./configure && make` only to see exactly the same result. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9828 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
