Category: Compiler Group: 5.04.3 >Status: Closed >Resolution: Fixed Priority: 5 Submitted By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: link error from large pattern bindings Initial Comment: When compiling a file where a pattern at the top level binds more than 62 names compilation dies on a link error, complaining about an undefined symbol : test.o(.text+0x5ff): In function `s1MS_1_alt': : undefined reference to `DataziTuple_Z71T_con_info' module Main where [a0,a1,a2,a3,a4,a5,a6,a7,a8,a9,a10,a11,a12,a13,a14,a15,a16,a17, a18,a19,a20,a21,a22,a23,a24,a25,a26,a27,a28,a29,a30,a31,a32, a33,a34,a35,a36,a37,a38,a39,a40,a41,a42,a43,a44,a45,a46,a47, a48,a49,a50,a51,a52,a53,a54,a55,a56,a57,a58,a59,a60,a61,a62] = [0..62] main = print a62 Compiling this without optimizations will die in the linker with GHC 5.04 or the nightly build of 5.05 from May 18 2003. Also try putting the definitions in a separate module, which seems to always fail. This needs a better error message, from the compiler rather than linker, something like "Toplevel pattern binds too many names". It took me a while to guess my problem from the weird core name.

The programmer still can't use very big tuples, but the compiler does not now introduce them itself. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=108032&aid=742918&group_id=8032 _______________________________________________ Glasgow-haskell-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-bugs
