If certain warnings truly are spurious and unavoidable, then it's best to document this explicitly in the code by pragmas to disable the relevant warnings. This way the spurious nature of the warning is documented (for future maintainers, including yourself) and the distracting output of the compiler is removed as well. Unfortunately, GHC only gives whole-file scope for disabling warnings, but that could be fixed with enough work.
Hello all, Forgive me if I'm a bit out of topic, but following this thread, I decided to add -Wall -Werror for a program I'm working on. I've spend a bit of time correcting quite a lot of warnings, most of them being about missing type signatures. I've corrected them all, but there remains one that I can't : ghc refuses the type signature it suggests me. Anyone has any idea ? ===================================== david@pcdavid2:~/projets/haskell/caimonitor$ ./g [3 of 4] Compiling Bdd ( Bdd.hs, Bdd.o ) Bdd.hs:27:0: Warning: Definition but no type signature for `connecter' Inferred type: connecter :: IO HDBC-mysql-0.6:Database.HDBC.MySQL.Connection.Connection <no location info>: Failing due to -Werror. ===================================== Here's part of the code : without -Werror, the code compiles and works fine. ====================================== module Bdd where import Database.HDBC import Database.HDBC.MySQL import Text.Printf import Messages mysqlInfo :: MySQLConnectInfo mysqlInfo = defaultMySQLConnectInfo { mysqlHost ="xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" , mysqlUser = "xxxxxxxx" , mysqlPassword = "xxxxxxxx" , mysqlDatabase = "xxxxxx" , mysqlPort = 0 , mysqlUnixSocket ="" } --connecter :: IO Database.HDBC.MySQL.Connection.Connection connecter = connectMySQL mysqlInfo ... ... ... ====================================== Thanks, David
