any luck using "retrie" refactoring tool on GHC sources?
I'm trying to use the retrie refactoring tool, but I'm getting a mysterious error message: nr@homedog ~/a/g/compiler [1]> retrie --adhoc "forall x . not (backendNeedn'tLink x) == backendNeedsLink x" parseAdhocs:1:80: error: parse error on input ‘#-}’ retrie: user error (parse failed) The Tool was installed using cabal install; its github page is https://github.com/facebookincubator/retrie/#readme. Has anybody had any success using this tool on the GHC sources? I'd love a workaround, or just advice. Norman

For what it's worth, Norman has reported this issue upstream as https://github.com/facebookincubator/retrie/issues/41 Cheers, - Ben

Turns out the tool wants `=` in the rule, not `==`. And if you have a ' in your function name, the tool barfs because it launches a `grep` command without escaping the ' properly to the shell. I have pushed a fix at https://github.com/facebookincubator/retrie/pull/43. Norman
