Hi If you just use Catch (http://www-users.cs.york.ac.uk/~ndm/catch/):
> > foo x > > | x < 0 = ... > > | x == 0 = ... > > | x > 0 = ... This gives an error. Something identical to this code is in Data.FiniteMap, and indeed, when using floats and NaN's (or just silly Ord classes) you can cause Data.FiniteMap to pattern match error. See section 6.3 of the draft paper on the Catch website for details. > myNot x > | x == True = False > | x == False = True This is determined to be exhaustive. > as it is (in general) undecidable whether all patterns are covered. In general, yes. But its possible to do a lot better than GHC's current warnings (I'm not saying its worth changing, though) Thanks Neil _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
