#11583: Make warning names more consistent -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: bgamari | Owner: Type: task | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.2.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 7.10.3 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by svenpanne): Hmmm, can we have a fix for this ''before'' the final 8.0.1 comes out? Otherwise things are a bit chaotic: We introduce the new -W form (and new warnings), only to have some of those -Wfoo renamed immediately afterwards, leading to even more CPP magic in projects. The short form of the changes, just for reference: * Use "sigs" or "signatures" consistently (doesn't really matter which one) * Use "pattern-synonyms", not "pat-syn" Currently e.g. the `half` package doesn't work with the GHC 8 series because of the ad-hoc naming changes of `-fno-warn-missing-pat-syn-sigs` (which is called `-Wno-missing-pat-syn-signatures` currently, but will be `-Wno-missing-pattern-synonym-signatures` or `-Wno-missing-pattern- synonym-sigs`, who knows...?). -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11583#comment:3 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
