#14347: Top-level RecordWildCards no longer working. -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: Fuuzetsu | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.2.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by simonpj): OK so it looks as if I made this change just before the GHC proposals process kicked off. If you think it's desirable for record wildcards to fill-in with top- level, or even imported, bindings, I suggest you write a short proposal to advocate for it. That way we'll get some debate. However, the absence of documentation of this property is bad. I'll add a paragraph about that anyway; we can always modify it if the GHC proposals process agrees a change. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/14347#comment:3 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
