#11301: Using GHC's parser and rendering the results is unreasonably difficult -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: bitemyapp | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: GHC API | Version: 7.10.2 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by mpickering): This is essentially a duplicate of #10961. I agree it should be easier to use the parser and don't think there is a good reason why it isn't pure. FWIW, `ghc-exactprint` provides a bit of a nicer interface around the entry points which you might want to use in the mean time. https://hackage.haskell.org/package/ghc-exactprint-0.5.0.1/docs/Language- Haskell-GHC-ExactPrint-Parsers.html -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11301#comment:4 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
