malcolm: Thu Oct 4 16:10:55 CEST 2001 Update of /usr/src/master/nhc/src/compiler98 In directory hinken:/tmp/cvs-serv11197 Modified Files: IExtract.hs Import.hs Main.hs MainNew.hs Need.hs PreImport.hs Rename.hs RenameLib.hs Log Message: Fix several serious bugs in the import mechanism. A module A which imported another module B both qualified and unqualified got very confused about what names were visible, and what could be re-exported. The reason was that the qualified/unqualified distinction was being applied per module, not per identifier. A module containing imports such as import B (y) import B hiding (x) was being rejected with the spurious error that using both explicit imports and explicit hidings is not permitted. An implicit import qualified Prelude was being (incorrectly) added to all modules. Some bugs still remain for now: it is not possible to import or export only some constructors of a type / fields of a type / methods of a class. Either you get all of them or none of them.
