-------------------------------------+-------------------------------------
GHC shows unhelpful error message when using rec keyword and/or mdo
keyword without RecursiveDo extention.
{{{
module NoRecursiveDo where
foo = do
rec str <- return "foo"
putStrLn str
}}}
{{{
$ ghc -c NoRecursiveDo.hs
NoRecursiveDo1.hs:4:5: Parse error in pattern: rec
}}}
{{{
module NoRecursiveDo2 where
bar = mdo
str <- return "bar"
putStrLn str
}}}
{{{
$ ghc -c NoRecursiveDo2.hs
NoRecursiveDo2.hs:4:9: parse error on input `<-'
}}}
{{{
module NoRecursiveDo3 where
baz = mdo
putStrLn "baz"
}}}
{{{
$ ghc -c NoRecursiveDo3.hs
NoRecursiveDo3.hs:3:7:
Not in scope: `mdo'
Perhaps you meant `mod' (imported from Prelude)
}}}
I think that GHC should suggest to use RecursiveDo extention when using
mdo/rec keyword.
