Bug ID: 127554
Summary: Spell checking hint opportunity missed when building a
contant aggrgate
Product: gcc
Version: 17.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: modula2
Assignee: gaius at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: gaius at gcc dot gnu.org
Target Milestone: ---
Following on from PR-127469 the error message generated could be improved to
emit a spell check hint.
$ cat MODULE VT100Test ;
FROM STextIO IMPORT WriteString;
TYPE
callType = RECORD
callNick : ARRAY [0..8] OF CHAR;
callString : ARRAY [0..20] OF CHAR;
END;
CONST (* M2 Iso way *)
cls = CallType { "cls", "callstring" };
(*
CONST
rec : CallType = { "cls", "callstring" };
*)
BEGIN
(* for testing purpose *)
WriteString("hello")
END VT100Test.
$ gm2 constaggregate.mod
constaggregate.mod:12:6: error: the type of the constant declaration ‘cls’
cannot be determined
12 | cls = CallType { "cls", "callstring" };
| ^~~
constaggregate.mod:12:12: error: In program module ‘VT100Test’: the constructor
type before the opening { is unknown
12 | cls = CallType { "cls", "callstring" };
| ^~~~~~~~
a better error message would suggest a spelling mistake callType vs. CallType.
