Error handling in the renamer

2014-11-13 Thread Jan Stolarek
I'm improving my patch for injective type families and I have a question about error handling in the renamer. If I write this incorrect definition: type family F a b = r | r -> c I get these errors: T6018rnfail.hs:36:1: Not in scope: type variable ā€˜cā€™ T6018rnfail.hs:36:26: Unexpecte

HEADS UP: Keeping the "Newcomers" wiki page alive

2014-11-13 Thread Jan Stolarek
HEADS UP: if you see a ticket that is easy enough to be tackled by a newcomer please tag it using "newcomer" keyword. I already added "newcomer" keyword to tickets that were listed on the Newcomers page and replaced the static list with dynamicaly generated one. I decided to filter out tickets

Re: Travis validation on a GHC fork?

2014-11-13 Thread Richard Eisenberg
I don't think this answer "scales" -- what if I've forked some submodules but not others? I think it should perhaps check to see if there is a forked submodule, and then go to GHC's if there isn't. I suppose I could implement this myself, but I'm confident there is someone who could do it in ro

More flexible literate Haskell extensions (Trac #9789), summary on wiki

2014-11-13 Thread Merijn Verstraaten
As requested on my ticket I summarised the entire proposal on the wiki here: https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/FlexibleLiterateExtension I don't expect a lot of disagreement on discussion, aside from minor bike shedding on the flavour of the extension. I've started implementing this already
