#898: With TH, when doing "cabal haddock", GHCi "couldn't find symbol" ------------------------------+--------------------------------------------- Reporter: MikolajKonarski | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: HEAD Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: unknown | Ghcversion: Platform: Linux | ------------------------------+--------------------------------------------- GHC 7.2.1, Cabal HEAD, Haddock 2.9.2. The message {{{ During interactive linking, GHCi couldn't find the following symbol: Allurezm0zi4zi2_UtilsziMultiline_multiline_closure }}} How to reproduce: get package http://hackage.haskell.org/package/Allure-0.4.2, cabal install, cabal haddock --executables and you should get the following: {{{ Running Haddock for Allure-0.4.2...

Restart GHCi, specifying the missing library using the -L/path/to/object/dir and -lmissinglibname flags, or simply by naming the relevant files on the GHCi command line. Alternatively, this link failure might indicate a bug in GHCi. If you suspect the latter, please send a bug report to: glasgow-haskell-bugs@haskell.org }}} The same problem for a library, with or without executables, with the same code. Hiding, in the library, the offending module Multiline does not help. The only thing that helps is eta-expanding the Multiline code as follows: {{{ -multiline = TQ.QuasiQuoter (TH.litE . TH.stringL) undefined undefined undefined +multiline = TQ.QuasiQuoter (\x -> (TH.litE . TH.stringL) x) undefined undefined undefined }}} and _not_ using the function in the only place where it's used. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/898 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
