Debug build of GHC which highlights undocumented errors?

Open Bodigrim opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

It would be helpful for contributors and power users to have a special build of GHC 9.6, which highlights errors, which have not yet been documented, encouraging to create an entry with a user story.

I think that this would be helpful, but we're trying not to create too close a coupling between this repository and the GHC one, so that the GHC team doesn't get bogged down in things from here.

I think that https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/23259 is a way to address this concern partially, with fewer drawbacks.

https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/23626 is related, though not the same. We now have a method to at least list all the error messages that a given GHC version can emit.
