#11117: mdo blocks in error messages are shown modified -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: nomeata | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: low | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.8.3 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: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- {{{#!hs {-# LANGUAGE RecursiveDo #-} main = mdo Just x <- return (Right x) return () }}} gives {{{ MdoTypeError.hs:3:3: Couldn't match expected type ‘Either a0 b0’ with actual type ‘Maybe b0’ Relevant bindings include x :: b0 (bound at MdoTypeError.hs:3:8) In the pattern: Just x In a stmt of an 'mdo' block: Just x <- return (Right x) In a stmt of an 'mdo' block: rec { Just x <- return (Right x) } }}} Note that the error message mentions `rec` even though that is not what the user entered. In other instances, we are careful to show the code more similar to the original (e.g. `do`-notation instead of `>>=`). This should also be done here. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11117 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
