GHC.Driver.Errors.Types

A message from the parsing phase.

A message from typecheck/renaming phase.

A message from the desugaring (HsToCore) phase.

A message from the driver.

An "escape" hatch which can be used when we don't know the source of the message or if the message is not one of the typed ones. The Diagnostic and Typeable constraints ensure that if we know, at pattern-matching time, the originating type, we can attempt a cast and access the fully-structured error. This would be the case for a GHC plugin that offers a domain-specific error type but that doesn't want to place the burden on IDEs/application code to "know" it. The Diagnostic constraint ensures that worst case scenario we can still render this into something which can be eventually converted into a DecoratedSDoc.

Simply wraps a generic Diagnostic message a.

A parse error in parsing a Haskell file header during dependency analysis

DriverMissingHomeModules is a warning (controlled with -Wmissing-home-modules) that arises when running GHC in --make mode when some modules needed for compilation are not included on the command line. For example, if A imports B, `ghc --make A.hs` will cause this warning, while `ghc --make A.hs B.hs` will not.

Useful for cabal to ensure GHC won't pick up modules listed neither in 'exposed-modules' nor in 'other-modules'.

Test case: warningsshould_compileMissingMod

DriverUnknown is a warning that arises when a user tries to reexport a module which isn't part of that unit.

DriverUnknownHiddenModules is a warning that arises when a user tries to hide a module which isn't part of that unit.

DriverUnusedPackages occurs when when package is requested on command line, but was never needed during compilation. Activated by -Wunused-packages.

Test cases: warningsshould_compileUnusedPackages

DriverUnnecessarySourceImports (controlled with -Wunused-imports) occurs if there are {-# SOURCE #-} imports which are not necessary. See warnUnnecessarySourceImports in GHC.Driver.Make.

Test cases: warningsshould_compileT10637

DriverDuplicatedModuleDeclaration occurs if a module A is declared in multiple files.

Test cases: None.

DriverModuleNotFound occurs if a module A can't be found.

Test cases: None.

DriverFileModuleNameMismatch occurs if a module A is defined in a file with a different name. The first field is the name written in the source code; the second argument is the name extracted from the filename.

Test cases: modulemod178, driver/bug1677

DriverUnexpectedSignature occurs when GHC encounters a module A that imports a signature file which is neither in the signatures section of a '.cabal' file nor in any package in the home modules.

Example:

• - MyStr.hsig is defined, but not added to signatures in the '.cabal' file. signature MyStr where data Str

• - A.hs, which tries to import the signature. module A where import MyStr

Test cases: driver/T12955

DriverFileNotFound occurs when the input file (e.g. given on the command line) can't be found.

Test cases: None.

DriverStaticPointersNotSupported occurs when the StaticPointers extension is used in an interactive GHCi context.

Test cases: ghciscriptsStaticPtr

DriverBackpackModuleNotFound occurs when Backpack can't find a particular module during its dependency analysis.

Test cases: -

DriverUserDefinedRuleIgnored is a warning that occurs when user-defined rules are ignored. This typically happens when Safe Haskell.

DriverMixedSafetyImport is an error that occurs when a module is imported both as safe and unsafe.

Test cases:

DriverCannotLoadInterfaceFile is an error that occurs when we cannot load the interface file for a particular module. This can happen for example in the context of Safe Haskell, when we have to load a module to check if it can be safely imported.

Test cases: None.

DriverInferredSafeImport is a warning (controlled by the Opt_WarnSafe flag) that occurs when a module is inferred safe.

Test cases: None.

DriverMarkedTrustworthyButInferredSafe is a warning (controlled by the Opt_WarnTrustworthySafe flag) that occurs when a module is marked trustworthy in SafeHaskell but it has been inferred safe.

Test cases: testssafeHaskellsafeInfered/TrustworthySafe02 testssafeHaskellsafeInfered/TrustworthySafe03

DriverInferredSafeImport is a warning (controlled by the Opt_WarnInferredSafeImports flag) that occurs when a safe-inferred module is imported from a safe module.

Test cases: None.

DriverCannotImportUnsafeModule is an error that occurs when an usafe module is being imported from a safe one.

Test cases: None.

DriverMissingSafeHaskellMode is a warning (controlled by the Opt_WarnMissingSafeHaskellMode flag) that occurs when a module is using SafeHaskell features but SafeHaskell mode is not enabled.

Test cases: None.

DriverPackageNotTrusted is an error that occurs when a package is required to be trusted but it isn't.

Test cases: testssafeHaskellcheck/Check01 testssafeHaskellcheck/Check08 testssafeHaskellcheck/Check06 testssafeHaskellcheckpkg01ImpSafeOnly09 testssafeHaskellcheckpkg01ImpSafe03 testssafeHaskellcheckpkg01ImpSafeOnly07 testssafeHaskellcheckpkg01ImpSafeOnly08

DriverCannotImportFromUntrustedPackage is an error that occurs in the context of Safe Haskell when trying to import a module coming from an untrusted package.
