Description
Describe the bug
When cabal emits field grammar parser warnings, it does so in reverse. That is, a line comes later in a file comes earlier in the warning. This is inconsistent with ghc's default behaviour.
To Reproduce
-
Write this to a cabal file
cabal-version: 3.0 name: simple version: 0.1.0.0 common a build-depends: library hs-source-dirs: src exposed-modules: App import: a import: a import: a import: a
-
Run
$ cabal build -
The warning should be something like the following. Note how it goes from line 16 to 13.
This is inconsistent with ghc's default behavior, for example.Resolving dependencies... Build profile: -w ghc-9.8.4 -O1 In order, the following will be built (use -v for more details): - simple-0.1.0.0 (lib) (configuration changed) Warning: simple.cabal:16:3: Unknown field: import. Common stanza imports should be at the top of the enclosing section Warning: simple.cabal:15:3: Unknown field: import. Common stanza imports should be at the top of the enclosing section Warning: simple.cabal:14:3: Unknown field: import. Common stanza imports should be at the top of the enclosing section Warning: simple.cabal:13:3: Unknown field: import. Common stanza imports should be at the top of the enclosing section
Expected behavior
The warnings should be in the same order as the file.

Maybe someone forgot to flip the warnings accumulator?
