It adds a warning -Wincomplete-record-selectors for usages of a record field access function (either a record selector or getField @"rec"), while trying to silence the warning whenever it can be sure that a constructor without the record field would not be invoked (which would otherwise cause the program to fail). For example: data T = T1 | T2 {x :: Bool} f a = x a -- this would throw an error g T1 = True g a = x a -- this would not throw an error h :: HasField "x" r Bool => r -> Bool h = getField @"x" j :: T -> Bool j = h -- this would throw an error because of the `HasField` -- constraint being solved See the tests DsIncompleteRecSel* and TcIncompleteRecSel for more examples of the warning. See Note [Detecting incomplete record selectors] in GHC.HsToCore.Expr for implementation details
