#9881: GHCi gives misleading error message when looking up info of ambiguous type -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: | Owner: simonpj RyanGlScott | Status: new Type: bug | Milestone: Priority: normal | Version: 7.8.3 Component: GHCi | Keywords: Resolution: | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Operating System: | Difficulty: Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Blocked By: Type of failure: Other | Related Tickets: Test Case: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by Simon Peyton Jones ): In [changeset:"cf0a55d76cf945a97fc229b77d6e6177fb14125d/ghc"]: {{{ #!CommitTicketReference repository="ghc" revision="cf0a55d76cf945a97fc229b77d6e6177fb14125d" For :info, return all matching Names, rather than complaining about ambiguity This fixes Trac #9881, and gives more helpful output in the case of ambiguity. Certainly more helpful than the positively-misleading error we get right now. }}} -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9881#comment:2 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
