#11482: Turn -fdefer-typed-holes on by default -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: thomie | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.10.3 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Type of failure: Incorrect | Unknown/Multiple warning at compile-time | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: #9497, #11481 | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by thomie): Another option would be to turn `-fdefer-typed-holes` on by default in GHCi only. I'm not sure about this though. I general I prefer GHCi and GHC to behave the same as much possible. Their difference with regard to the MonomorphismRestriction is annoying enough already.
Cabal / stack use -fno-defer-typed-holes by default.
Do you mean `cabal init` would add `ghc-options: -fno-defer-typed-holes` to the `*.cabal` file it creates? Or the default `.cabal/config` would get that entry? Or Cabal would always pass it to ghc? One workflow is to add library dependencies to a `.cabal` file, and then run `cabal repl`, which starts ghci. I like the suggestion of emitting a shorter warning for holes. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11482#comment:5 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
