5144: Pattern synonyms -- help needed to sort out exports

Hi, Last week, I started implementing http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/5144 "Pattern synonyms". I'm using http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/PatternSynonyms for the details, and so far I have "pattern-only synonyms" working, with most of the infrastructure also laid down for the "simple pattern synonyms". My work is avalable at https://github.com/gergoerdi/ghc.git in the pattern-synonyms branch. My plan is to get the simple pattern synonyms stuff working as well, and then submit it as a first cut. Before I formally submit my patches for review to this mailing list, though, there is one thing that's got me stumped: allowing pattern synonyms to be exported. I thought it would just work if I make sure the pattern synonym names (which are Conids) end up in the tcg_exports field of the TcGblEnv. However, this is not the case. Could someone point me in the right direction please on how to make these new declarations exportable? Thanks, Gergo -- .--= ULLA! =-----------------. \ http://gergo.erdi.hu \ `---= gergo@erdi.hu =-------' All C programs are derived from `Hello World'.
