#12146: syntax repair suggestion is too eager to suggest TemplateHaskell -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: j.waldmann | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: patch Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.0.1 Resolution: | Keywords: newcomer Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Type of failure: Incorrect | Unknown/Multiple warning at compile-time | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: #7396 | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by thomie): adityadivekar: I pushed the first two patches, but the last one did not apply cleanly to HEAD. The testcase also seems unnecessarily complicated (I guess you copied it from another test, but I don't understand why this hack is necessary): {{{ :set -v1 System.IO.writeFile "T12146.hs" "module Main where { ipmort Data.Char; }" -- hack: avoid the need for sleep by using specific timestamps: :! touch -t 01010000 T12146.hs :load T12146 }}} Two things are still missing: * a simple `compile_fail` test. Use `T4042` as an example. * a small comment for `badImplicitSplice` (`compiler/rename/RnSource.hs`), explaining why the error messages shouldn't mention `TemplateHaskell`, referring to this ticket (#12146). If you could, please create a new patch for this, and I'll apply it. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12146#comment:9 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
