#11130: GHCi should not defer typed holes
-------------------------------------+-------------------------------------
Reporter: thomie | Owner:

Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.0.1
Component: GHCi | Version: 7.10.2
Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple

-------------------------------------+-------------------------------------
In the function `tcUserStmt` in compiler/typecheck/TcRnDriver.hs, before
going over the different ways ('plans') to lift an expression typed at the
prompt into the GHCi monad, `Opt_DeferTypeErrors` is disabled. Here is the
accompanying comment:
{{{
-- Ensure that type errors don't get deferred when type checking
the
-- naked expression. Deferring type errors here is unhelpful
because the
-- expression gets evaluated right away anyway. It also would
potentially
-- emit redundant type-error warnings, one from each plan.
; plan <- unsetGOptM Opt_DeferTypeErrors $
}}}
Since `Opt_DeferTypeErrors` implies `Opt_DeferTypedHoles`,
`Opt_DeferTypedHoles` should be disabled here as well. This will improve
the error message for T10248.
