#2260: Non-ideal error message for misplaced LANGUAGE pragma
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
Reporter: TomMD | Owner:
Type: bug | Status: new
Priority: normal | Component: Compiler (Parser)
Version: 6.8.2 | Severity: trivial
Keywords: | Testcase:
Architecture: Multiple | Os: Multiple
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
Placing the LANGUAGE pragma anywhere besides the top results in it not
being accepted - thus this should result in an error message.
Trivially:
{{{
import Data.Maybe
{-# LANGUAGE EmptyDataDecls #-}
data A
}}}
This would be minorly more annoying for TypeFamilies, who's error doesn't
mention language extentions:
"Data/Queue.hs:30:0: parse error (possibly incorrect indentation)"
