#8809: Prettier error messages? -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: joelteon | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.9 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: 13122 Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): #8809,#10073,#10179,#12906 | Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by goldfire): I'm a little lost now. It looks like `pretty` already has the annotations proposed in comment:3. So is #10735 really all that's left to allow annotations within `SDoc`s? And I remember somewhere that color would be impossible without a design like comment:3... and yet we have color now. Re comment:52: I like this idea a good deal, and I'll admit it's where I started my thinking about this problem, but then comment:3 seemed to go in a different (but quite worthwhile) direction. So I guess the direct question is: what should my student and I work on? Adding annotations to `SDoc`s seems redundant. Tackling #10735 will likely be beyond her level of experience. So I'm tempted to steer her toward comment:52... but I'd love some feedback before we start getting in too deep in one particular direction. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8809#comment:53 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
