  • #15053

Compiler panic on invalid syntax (unterminated pragma)

The following minimal example causes a compiler panic.

{-# OPTIONS_GHC -O1 }
"
  #-}
ghc-stage2.exe: panic! (the 'impossible' happened)
  (GHC version 8.5.20180413 for x86_64-unknown-mingw32):
        getOptions'.parseToks: Couldn't read "\r\n\"\r\n  " as String

Please report this as a GHC bug:  http://www.haskell.org/ghc/reportabug

Happens in HEAD and 8.2.2 at least. Double quotes seem to confuse the parser. Also panics if there are two doublequotes.
