Category: Compiler Group: 6.2.2 Status: Open Resolution: None >Priority: 3 Submitted By: Simon Peyton Jones (simonpj) Assigned to: Simon Marlow (simonmar) >Summary: Bad error message for missing module in --make Initial Comment: GHC --make uses getImports to find the imports of a module. It has two bad flaws a) it's a total hack, parsing the file character by character, which is really slow. We though it stopped after the import statements but it doesn't; it chunters through the entire file b) It does not record line numbers, so if the imported module does not exist, there is no decent error message We have a plan; this bug report makes sure we don't forget. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Simon Marlow (simonmar) Date: 2005-01-17 15:12 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=48280 Partially fixed, (b) still to do. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=108032&aid=1065291&group_id=8032 _______________________________________________ Glasgow-haskell-bugs mailing list [email protected] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-bugs
