#14798: Error message suggests applying (non-existant) function to more arguments -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: Iceland_jack | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.5 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Type of failure: Poor/confusing | Unknown/Multiple error message | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by goldfire): This makes sense to me: the user might have written something like `pow 5 == 10` where `pow :: Int -> Int -> Int`. Of course, the error message is silly in your case, but I think it would be useful in the common case and is phrased appropriately so be wrong sometimes. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/14798#comment:1 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
