-------------------------------------+-------------------------------------
GHC generates warnings when `do` notation statements discard their
result, without an explicit `_ <- `, unless the discarded result
is of type `()`.
Another type which is used to indicate "no result", is `Void` from
`Data.Void`. There are no meaningful values of this type, so we should
also skip the warnings for such situations.
Here is an example:
{{{#!hs
import Data.Void
f :: IO Void
f = undefined
main :: IO ()
main = do f
return ()
}}}
GHC output:
{{{
test.hs:7:11: Warning:
A do-notation statement discarded a result of type ‘Void’
Suppress this warning by saying ‘_ <- f’
or by using the flag -fno-warn-unused-do-bind
}}}
