#5610: Improve "Unacceptable argument type in foreign declaration" error message -------------------------------------------------+------------------------- Reporter: bgamari | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: high | Milestone: 7.4.1 Component: Compiler (Type checker) | Version: Resolution: | 7.6.1-rc1 Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Keywords: Type of failure: Incorrect warning at | Architecture: compile-time | Unknown/Multiple Test Case: | Difficulty: Blocking: | Unknown | Blocked By: | Related Tickets: -------------------------------------------------+------------------------- Comment (by archblob): I have time to work on this and do a little refactoring to improve the error messages. The comment history is a little confusing and I'm not really sure that a better error message is the only thing requested here, and if the whole importing of constructors for foreign declarations story is also in need of fixing. It's the same story with #7243, if someone could make things clear for me I would be happy to start working. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/5610#comment:20 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
