#9711: Confusing errors when compiling text-1.2.0.0 ---------------------------------------+---------------------------------- Reporter: asvyazin | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.8.3 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: MacOS X | Architecture: x86_64 (amd64) Type of failure: None/Unknown | Difficulty: Unknown Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Revisions: | ---------------------------------------+---------------------------------- Comment (by rwbarton): This seems rather hard to believe. I get those exact errors (down to the column numbers) when I remove three spaces after `x == '\n'` (like in your last snippet) ''only''. Are you sure you haven't edited this file before trying to build it, possibly inserting tab characters in the process? I guess it's possible that the homebrew build is somehow faulty in a way that would cause this, but difficult to imagine. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9711#comment:1 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
