#14761: Incorrect diagnostic for UNPACK/missing strictness -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: dminuoso | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.2.2 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Type of failure: Incorrect | Unknown/Multiple error/warning at compile-time | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: #7210 | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by dminuoso): Thank you for the explanation. Is it correct to consider {-# UNPACK #-} itself a strictness annotation? As an end user I would expect it to be referred to as a pragma. Furthermore I still have to specify the strictness annotation ! for the field. If this is working as intended, then I think it's a somewhat poor message. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/14761#comment:3 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
