GHC.Types.Error

Synopsis

Messages

data Messages e Source #

A collection of messages emitted by GHC during error reporting. A diagnostic message is typically a warning or an error. See Note [Messages].

INVARIANT: All the messages in this collection must be relevant, i.e. their Severity should not be SevIgnore. The smart constructor mkMessages will filter out any message which Severity is SevIgnore.

An envelope for GHC's facts about a running program, parameterised over the domain-specific (i.e. parsing, typecheck-renaming, etc) diagnostics.

To say things differently, GHC emits diagnostics about the running program, each of which is wrapped into a MsgEnvelope that carries specific information like where the error happened, etc. Finally, multiple MsgEnvelopes are aggregated into Messages that are returned to the user.

Classifying Messages

data MessageClass Source #

The class for a diagnostic message. The main purpose is to classify a message within GHC, to distinguish it from a debug/dump message vs a proper diagnostic, for which we include a DiagnosticReason.

Constructors

MCOutput 
MCFatal 
MCInteractive 
MCDump

Log message intended for compiler developers No file/line/column stuff

MCInfo

Log messages intended for end users. No file/line/column stuff.

MCDiagnostic Severity ResolvedDiagnosticReason (Maybe DiagnosticCode)

Diagnostics from the compiler. This constructor is very powerful as it allows the construction of a MessageClass with a completely arbitrary permutation of Severity and DiagnosticReason. As such, users are encouraged to use the mkMCDiagnostic smart constructor instead. Use this constructor directly only if you need to construct and manipulate diagnostic messages directly, for example inside Error. In all the other circumstances, especially when emitting compiler diagnostics, use the smart constructor.

The Maybe DiagnosticCode field carries a code (if available) for this diagnostic. If you are creating a message not tied to any error-message type, then use Nothing. In the long run, this really should always have a DiagnosticCode. See Note [Diagnostic codes].

class HasDefaultDiagnosticOpts (DiagnosticOpts a) => Diagnostic a where Source #

A class identifying a diagnostic. Dictionary.com defines a diagnostic as:

"a message output by a computer diagnosing an error in a computer program, computer system, or component device".

A Diagnostic carries the actual description of the message (which, in GHC's case, it can be an error or a warning) and the reason why such message was generated in the first place.

Associated Types

type DiagnosticOpts a Source #

Type of configuration options for the diagnostic.

Methods

diagnosticMessage :: DiagnosticOpts a -> a -> DecoratedSDoc Source #

Extract the error message text from a Diagnostic.

diagnosticReason :: a -> DiagnosticReason Source #

Extract the reason for this diagnostic. For warnings, a DiagnosticReason includes the warning flag.

diagnosticHints :: a -> [GhcHint] Source #

Extract any hints a user might use to repair their code to avoid this diagnostic.

diagnosticCode :: a -> Maybe DiagnosticCode Source #

Get the DiagnosticCode associated with this Diagnostic. This can return Nothing for at least two reasons:

  1. The message might be from a plugin that does not supply codes.
  2. The message might not yet have been assigned a code. See the Diagnostic instance for DiagnosticMessage.

Ideally, case (2) would not happen, but because some errors in GHC still use the old system of just writing the error message in-place (instead of using a dedicated error type and constructor), we do not have error codes for all errors. #18516 tracks our progress toward this goal.

data UnknownDiagnostic opts where Source #

An existential wrapper around an unknown diagnostic.

Constructors

UnknownDiagnostic :: forall a opts. (Diagnostic a, Typeable a) => (opts -> DiagnosticOpts a) -> a -> UnknownDiagnostic opts 

mkSimpleUnknownDiagnostic :: (Diagnostic a, Typeable a, DiagnosticOpts a ~ NoDiagnosticOpts) => a -> UnknownDiagnostic b Source #

Make a "simple" unknown diagnostic which doesn't have any configuration options.

mkUnknownDiagnostic :: (Typeable a, Diagnostic a) => a -> UnknownDiagnostic (DiagnosticOpts a) Source #

Make an unknown diagnostic which uses the same options as the context it will be embedded into.

embedUnknownDiagnostic :: (Diagnostic a, Typeable a) => (opts -> DiagnosticOpts a) -> a -> UnknownDiagnostic opts Source #

Embed a more complicated diagnostic which requires a potentially different options type.

data DiagnosticMessage Source #

A generic Diagnostic message, without any further classification or provenance: By looking at a DiagnosticMessage we don't know neither where it was generated nor how to intepret its payload (as it's just a structured document). All we can do is to print it out and look at its DiagnosticReason.

data DiagnosticReason Source #

The reason why a Diagnostic was emitted in the first place. Diagnostic messages are born within GHC with a very precise reason, which can be completely statically-computed (i.e. this is an error or a warning no matter what), or influenced by the specific state of the DynFlags at the moment of the creation of a new Diagnostic. For example, a parsing error is always going to be an error, whereas a 'WarningWithoutFlag Opt_WarnUnusedImports' might turn into an error due to '-Werror' or '-Werror=warn-unused-imports'. Interpreting a DiagnosticReason together with its associated Severity gives us the full picture.

Constructors

WarningWithoutFlag

Born as a warning.

WarningWithFlags !(NonEmpty WarningFlag)

Warning was enabled with the flag.

WarningWithCategory !WarningCategory

Warning was enabled with a custom category.

ErrorWithoutFlag

Born as an error.

Bundled Patterns

pattern WarningWithFlag :: WarningFlag -> DiagnosticReason

The single warning case DiagnosticReason is very common.

newtype ResolvedDiagnosticReason Source #

Like a DiagnosticReason, but resolved against a specific set of DynFlags to work out which warning flag actually enabled this warning.

Hints and refactoring actions

data GhcHint Source #

A type for hints emitted by GHC. A hint suggests a possible way to deal with a particular warning or error.

Constructors

(Outputable a, Typeable a) => UnknownHint a

An "unknown" hint. This type constructor allows arbitrary -- hints to be embedded. The typical use case would be GHC plugins -- willing to emit hints alongside their custom diagnostics.

SuggestExtension !LanguageExtensionHint

Suggests adding a particular language extension. GHC will do its best trying to guess when the user is using the syntax of a particular language extension without having the relevant extension enabled.

Example: If the user uses the keyword "mdo" (and we are in a monadic block), but the relevant extension is not enabled, GHC will emit a 'SuggestExtension RecursiveDo'.

Test case(s): parsershould_failT12429, parsershould_failT8501c, parsershould_failT18251e, ... (and many more)

SuggestCorrectPragmaName ![String]

Suggests possible corrections of a misspelled pragma. Its argument represents all applicable suggestions.

Example: {-# LNGUAGE BangPatterns #-}

Test case(s): parsershould_compileT21589

SuggestMissingDo

Suggests that a monadic code block is probably missing a "do" keyword.

Example: main = putStrLn "hello" putStrLn "world"

Test case(s): parsershould_failT8501a, parsershould_failreadFail007, parsershould_failInfixAppPatErr, parsershould_failT984

SuggestLetInDo

Suggests that a "let" expression is needed in a "do" block.

Test cases: None (that explicitly test this particular hint is emitted).

SuggestAddSignatureCabalFile !ModuleName

Suggests to add an ".hsig" signature file to the Cabal manifest.

Triggered by: DriverUnexpectedSignature, if Cabal is being used.

Example: See comment of DriverUnexpectedSignature.

Test case(s): driver/T12955

SuggestSignatureInstantiations !ModuleName [InstantiationSuggestion]

Suggests to explicitly list the instantiations for the signatures in the GHC invocation command.

Triggered by: DriverUnexpectedSignature, if Cabal is not being used.

Example: See comment of DriverUnexpectedSignature.

Test case(s): driver/T12955

SuggestUseSpaces

Suggests to use spaces instead of tabs.

Triggered by: PsWarnTab.

Examples: None Test Case(s): None

SuggestUseWhitespaceAfter !OperatorWhitespaceSymbol

Suggests adding a whitespace after the given symbol.

Examples: None Test Case(s): parsershould_compileT18834a.hs

SuggestUseWhitespaceAround !String !OperatorWhitespaceOccurrence

Suggests adding a whitespace around the given operator symbol, as it might be repurposed as special syntax by a future language extension. The second parameter is how such operator occurred, if in a prefix, suffix or tight infix position.

Triggered by: PsWarnOperatorWhitespace.

Example: h a b = a+b -- not OK, no spaces around +.

Test Case(s): parsershould_compileT18834b.hs

SuggestParentheses

Suggests wrapping an expression in parentheses

Examples: None Test Case(s): None

SuggestIncreaseMaxPmCheckModels

Suggests to increase the -fmax-pmcheck-models limit for the pattern match checker.

Triggered by: DsMaxPmCheckModelsReached

Test case(s): pmcheckshould_compileTooManyDeltas pmcheckshould_compileTooManyDeltas pmcheckshould_compileT11822

SuggestAddTypeSignatures AvailableBindings

Suggests adding a type signature, typically to resolve ambiguity or help GHC inferring types.

SuggestBindToWildcard !(LHsExpr GhcTc)

Suggests to explicitly discard the result of a monadic action by binding the result to the '_' wilcard.

Example: main = do _ <- getCurrentTime

SuggestAddInlineOrNoInlinePragma !Var !Activation 
SuggestAddPhaseToCompetingRule !RuleName 
SuggestAddToHSigExportList !Name !(Maybe Module)

Suggests adding an identifier to the export list of a signature.

SuggestIncreaseSimplifierIterations

Suggests increasing the limit for the number of iterations in the simplifier.

SuggestUseTypeFromDataKind (Maybe RdrName)

Suggests to explicitly import Type from the Kind module, because using "*" to mean Type relies on the StarIsType extension, which will become deprecated in the future.

Triggered by: PsWarnStarIsType Example: None Test case(s): wcompat-warnings/WCompatWarningsOn.hs

SuggestQualifiedAfterModuleName

Suggests placing the qualified keyword after the module name.

Triggered by: PsWarnImportPreQualified Example: None Test case(s): module/mod184.hs

Triggered by: PsErrIllegalRoleName Example: None Test case(s): rolesshould_failRoles7.hs

SuggestQualifyStarOperator

Suggests qualifying the * operator in modules where StarIsType is enabled.

Triggered by: PsWarnStarBinder Test case(s): warningsshould_compileStarBinder.hs

SuggestTypeSignatureForm

Triggered by: DerivBadErrConstructor Test cases(s): typecheckshould_failtcfail086

SuggestAddStandaloneKindSignature Name

Suggests to add a standalone kind signature when GHC can't perform kind inference.

Triggered by: TcRnInvisBndrWithoutSig Test case(s): typecheckshould_failT22560_fail_d

SuggestFillInWildcardConstraint

Suggests the user to fill in the wildcard constraint to disambiguate which constraint that is.

Example: deriving instance _ => Eq (Foo f a)

Triggered by: DerivBadErrConstructor Test cases(s): partial-sigsshould_failT13324_fail2

SuggestRenameForall

Suggests to use an identifier other than forall Triggered by: TcRnForallIdentifier

SuggestAppropriateTHTick NameSpace

Suggests to use the appropriate Template Haskell tick: a single tick for a term-level NameSpace, or a double tick for a type-level NameSpace.

Triggered by: TcRnIncorrectNameSpace.

Something is split off from its corresponding declaration. For example, a datatype is given a role declaration in a different module.

Test cases: T495, T8485, T2713, T5533.

Fields

  • SDoc

    fixity declaration, role annotation, type signature, ...

RemindFieldSelectorSuppressed

Remind the user that the field selector has been suppressed because of -XNoFieldSelectors.

Test cases: NFSSuppressed, records-nofieldselectors.

ImportSuggestion OccName ImportSuggestion

Suggest importing from a module, removing a hiding clause, or explain to the user that we couldn't find a module with the given ModuleName.

Test cases: mod28, mod36, mod87, mod114, ...

data LanguageExtensionHint Source #

Constructors

SuggestSingleExtension !SDoc !Extension

Suggest to enable the input extension. This is the hint that GHC emits if this is not a "known" fix, i.e. this is GHC giving its best guess on what extension might be necessary to make a certain program compile. For example, GHC might suggests to enable BlockArguments when the user simply formatted incorrectly the input program, so GHC here is trying to be as helpful as possible. If the input SDoc is not empty, it will contain some extra information about the why the extension is required, but it's totally irrelevant/redundant for IDEs and other tools.

SuggestAnyExtension !SDoc [Extension]

Suggest to enable the input extensions. The list is to be intended as disjunctive i.e. the user is suggested to enable any of the extensions listed. If the input SDoc is not empty, it will contain some extra information about the why the extensions are required, but it's totally irrelevant/redundant for IDEs and other tools.

SuggestExtensions !SDoc [Extension]

Suggest to enable the input extensions. The list is to be intended as conjunctive i.e. the user is suggested to enable all the extensions listed. If the input SDoc is not empty, it will contain some extra information about the why the extensions are required, but it's totally irrelevant/redundant for IDEs and other tools.

SuggestExtensionInOrderTo !SDoc !Extension

Suggest to enable the input extension in order to fix a certain problem. This is the suggestion that GHC emits when is more-or-less clear "what's going on". For example, if both DeriveAnyClass and GeneralizedNewtypeDeriving are turned on, the right thing to do is to enabled DerivingStrategies, so in contrast to SuggestSingleExtension GHC will be a bit more "imperative" (i.e. "Use X Y Z in order to ... "). If the input SDoc is not empty, it will contain some extra information about the why the extensions are required, but it's totally irrelevant/redundant for IDEs and other tools.

suggestExtension :: Extension -> GhcHint Source #

Suggests a single extension without extra user info.

suggestExtensionWithInfo :: SDoc -> Extension -> GhcHint Source #

Like suggestExtension but allows supplying extra info for the user.

suggestExtensions :: [Extension] -> GhcHint Source #

Suggests to enable every extension in the list.

suggestExtensionsWithInfo :: SDoc -> [Extension] -> GhcHint Source #

Like suggestExtensions but allows supplying extra info for the user.

suggestAnyExtension :: [Extension] -> GhcHint Source #

Suggests to enable any extension in the list.

suggestAnyExtensionWithInfo :: SDoc -> [Extension] -> GhcHint Source #

Like suggestAnyExtension but allows supplying extra info for the user.

noHints :: [GhcHint] Source #

Helper function to use when no hints can be provided. Currently this function can be used to construct plain DiagnosticMessage and add hints to them, but once #18516 will be fully executed, the main usage of this function would be in the implementation of the diagnosticHints typeclass method, to report the fact that a particular Diagnostic has no hints.

Rendering Messages

data SDoc Source #

Represents a pretty-printable document.

To display an SDoc, use printSDoc, printSDocLn, bufLeftRenderSDoc, or renderWithContext. Avoid calling runSDoc directly as it breaks the abstraction layer.

Creates a new DecoratedSDoc out of a single SDoc

unionDecoratedSDoc :: DecoratedSDoc -> DecoratedSDoc -> DecoratedSDoc Source #

Joins two DecoratedSDoc together. The resulting DecoratedSDoc will have a number of entries which is the sum of the lengths of the input.
