#12483: Improve parse error message on indentation mistake -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: harendra | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.0.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Type of failure: Incorrect | Unknown/Multiple warning at compile-time | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Changes (by bgamari): * failure: Other => Incorrect warning at compile-time * type: bug => feature request Comment: Indeed these are frustratingly poor errors. I remember encountering this exact thing when I was learning the language. Improving this would require that someone take some time to think about how you can robustly catch this issue in the parser without introducing too much complexity. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12483#comment:1 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
