#11680: Out-of-scope suggestion given for an out-of-scope variable when using TH -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: jme | Owner: jme Type: bug | Status: patch Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Template Haskell | Version: 8.0.1-rc2 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Type of failure: Incorrect | Unknown/Multiple warning at compile-time | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Phab:D2000 Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Changes (by jme): * status: new => patch * differential: => Phab:D2000 Comment: I've submitted a patch (Phab:D2000). I'm still not completely happy with the form of the new error message, since it states where an exact match to an out-of-scope variable is '''not''' in scope: {{{ T11680.hs:37:7: error: • Variable not in scope: bar :: () • ‘bar’ (line 82) is not in scope before the splice on lines 78-80 Perhaps you meant one of these: ‘bat’ (line 40), ‘baz’ (line 43) }}} But specifying where it '''is''' in scope would have been far wordier. If you think the extra detail would be more helpful to users, though, I'm happy to change it. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11680#comment:6 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
