Description
Compiling the following with -fwarn-incomplete-patterns:
module Asdf where f :: String -> Int f "0" = 0 g :: Int -> Int g 0 = 0
Yields:
asdf.hs:4:0:
Warning: Pattern match(es) are non-exhaustive
In the definition of `f':
Patterns not matched:
[]
(GHC.Base.C# #x) : _ with #x `notElem` ['0']
(GHC.Base.C# '0') : (_ : _)
asdf.hs:7:0:
Warning: Pattern match(es) are non-exhaustive
In the definition of `g':
Patterns not matched: GHC.Base.I# #x with #x `notElem` [0#]
Losing the 'GHC.Base' stuff along with the various octothorpes would make the error messages a lot nicer. Ideally it'd be something like Patterns not matched: x where x notElem [0] for the second case, for instance.
