#11370: Redundant superclass warnings being included in -Wall destroys the "3 Release Policy" -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: ekmett | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: highest | Milestone: 8.0.1 Component: Compiler (Type | Version: 7.10.3 checker) | Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Type of failure: Incorrect | Unknown/Multiple warning at compile-time | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: #11369, #11429 | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by nomeata):
this is the first warning in -Wall that sometimes just absolutely can not be worked around without explicitly turning it off
Does this sentence have an implicit “without losing 3-release compatibility”? Or is there really code that triggers this warning and cannot be worked around for a single set of GHC and library versions? We should stay explicit about these things. I conjecture that most users of GHC do not attempt to write 3-release-compatible code and are just interested in the most tidy code for their current target. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11370#comment:26 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
