#11366: Control.Exception.assert should perhaps take an implicit call stack -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: bgamari | Owner: Type: task | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.0.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 7.10.3 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 gridaphobe): We actually do this already, but it's `assertError` that checks the assertion and gets the CallStack. GHC rewrites `assert` to `assertError` unless optimizations are enabled; `assert` is just `const id`. I suppose it would be consistent to give `assert` a CallStack too, but GHC will (rightly) complain that it's unused. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11366#comment:1 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
