#7169: Warning for incomplete record field label used as function -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: goldfire | Owner: (none) Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.7 Resolution: | Keywords: Warnings, | newcomer 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: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by nakaji_dayo): RyanGlScott: Thanks for reply and design.\\ I have additional questions.

Introduce a flag for this purpose (proposal: -Wpartial-records) `-Wpartial-records` may be unnecessary, Because I think It is same meaning to `-Wincomplete-patterns`.

One can disable this warning by prefixing the partial record selector with an underscore (e.g., data A = B1 { b :: Int } | B2 { b :: Int, _wat :: Char }).

It seems useful. But, I do not know if it should affect coding style.\\ Is there any existing design that control warnings by function (or variable) name? -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7169#comment:18 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
