Re: ghci and unfoldings?

Thanks for the additional tips. I'm having very inconsistent results with unfolding definitions from other modules in ghci, even with all of these flags. I'll keep poking at it until I have some consistent info and questions. -- Conal On Wed, Jan 20, 2016 at 7:46 AM, Simon Peyton Jones wrote:

Ah….It seems that to get unfoldings exposed in the *module you are compiling* you need *both*

· -fno-omit-interface-pragmas

· -fexpose-all-unfoldings

And GHCi and –O0 both imply –fomit-interface-pragmas.

To see the unfoldings on *imported* functions you need –fno-ignore-interface pragmas.

Arguably –fexpose-all-unfoldings should override –fomit-interface-pragmas, which it doesn’t at the moment. Open a ticket if you think that would be useful and important. I can give guidance about the places.

That's the flag I would expect. It doesn't seem to help or hinder availability of unfoldings in GHCi. Do you think it should?

And Happy Birthday, Simon!

Warmly, - Conal

Or -fexpose-all-unfoldings?
