Howdy,
I started looking at Trac #12056
(https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12056),
but I'm a bit stuck.
Indeed, if I run the following command, I get no warnings
ghc Main.hs -Wfoo -w -Wunrecognised-warning-flags -Wbar
But if I also specify -Wdeprecated-flags, I get warnings again
ghc Main.hs -Wfoo -w -Wunrecognised-warning-flags -Wdeprecated-flags -Wbar
on the commandline: warning: unrecognised warning flag: -Wfoo
on the commandline: warning: unrecognised warning flag: -Wbar
Then I found this little function in compiler/main/HscTypes
handleFlagWarnings :: DynFlags -> [Located String] -> IO ()
handleFlagWarnings dflags warns
= when (wopt Opt_WarnDeprecatedFlags dflags) $ do
-- It would be nicer if warns :: [Located MsgDoc], but that
-- has circular import problems.
let bag = listToBag [ mkPlainWarnMsg dflags loc (text warn)
| L loc warn <- warns ]
printOrThrowWarnings dflags bag
So I updated it accept Opt_WarnDeprecatedFlags and
Opt_WarnUnrecognisedWarningsFlags.
Complete patch here: https://phabricator.haskell.org/D3581
Unfortunately when I did that, -Wno-deprecated-flags no longer had an effect so
long
as -Wunrecognised-warnings-flags
./inplace/bin/ghc-stage2 -Wunrecognised-warning-flags -Wno-deprecated-flags
-XOverlappingInstances
on the commandline: warning:
-XOverlappingInstances is deprecated: instead use per-instance pragmas
OVERLAPPING/OVERLAPPABLE/OVERLAPS
And now that is where I'm stuck; I can't seem to find a place where I can
distinguish
between the different warning types. Even WarnReason is set to NoReason because
of
the usage of mkPlainWarnMsg.
So if I could get some guidance on this, I'd be very grateful.
Thanks
Sean G
