The ghc flag -fwarn-incomplete-patterns might be what you're looking for. /g On 8/8/06, Jens Theisen wrote:

Hello,

as a haskell newbie I'm wondering about the following question.

Are there options to popular haskell implementations or other means (haskell lint?) to check for incomplete patterns at compile time for some? I can't see a reason why this shouldn't be possible or even a relatively simple thing to implement.

Cheers,

Jens

You might just want to always use: -Wall -Werror to get the full range of extended warnings and checks.
