#10021: Add "Error:" prefix for compile-time error messages -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: k-bx | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.12.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 7.8.4 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Type of failure: None/Unknown | Unknown/Multiple Blocked By: | Test Case: Related Tickets: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by simonpj): Yes, it's horrible that these seven (''seven''!) levels of severity are declared in a data type with no comment whatsoever to indicate what the author had in mind. One can guess from the names but it still seems like a huge omission. I have no opinion about `fatal` vs `error` for `SevFatal`. I'm inclined to the former, since it reflects the underlying truth. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10021#comment:11 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
