#7895: Warning for literal overflow -----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- Reporter: acube | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Component: Compiler Version: 7.6.3 | Keywords: Os: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Failure: Other | Blockedby: Blocking: | Related: -----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- Using ghc 7.6.3, the following compiles without warnings on -Wall: {{{ import Data.Word test :: Word8 test = 300 main = print test }}} I expected this to issue a warning like: "Warning: literal overflow on line 4". I know GCC for example does this and it would be nice if GHC did this too. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7895 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
