MultiWayIf parse behavior changed in 8.0.2
I just noticed while working on Jenkins that ed7a830d fails to build with GHC 8.0.1 with a parse error, yet succeeds with 8.2.1.
The issue is demonstrated by the following program,
{-# LANGUAGE MultiWayIf #-}
main =
if | True
-> putStrLn "hasdf"Under GHC 8.0.1 this fails to compile with a parse error. Under 8.0.2 and 8.2.1 it parses without any trouble.
We should sort out what the desired parse behavior for MultiWayIf is and add a test to ensure it doesn't change again.
