#8466: Aggregate “ambiguous import” errors for the same name -------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Reporter: nomeata | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: closed Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.6.3 Resolution: wontfix | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Difficulty: Unknown Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Changes (by nomeata): * status: new => closed * resolution: => wontfix Comment: Nah, off by default makes no sense for a feature that should help users finding their way in error messages. In that case, this bug should be marked as wontfix, either until the majority opinions on this changes or, eventually, in some shiny future, every programmatic consumer of error messages uses a proper API for that and we are free to format our error messages the way it suits the readers most. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8466#comment:10 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
