#9946: Expose the source location of template-haskell Names -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: gridaphobe | Owner: Type: feature | Status: new request | Milestone: Priority: low | Version: 7.11 Component: Compiler | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Keywords: | Type of failure: None/Unknown Architecture: | Blocked By: Unknown/Multiple | Related Tickets: Test Case: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- I've often wanted to know where a particular `Name` is defined (specifically the filepath), but as far as I can tell, template-haskell doesn't currently support this. It'd be really nice to have a function {{{#!hs nameLoc :: Name -> Loc }}} to expose the definition site of the `Name`. I think this should be fairly straightforward to add since GHC carries the definition site around with its `Name`s, but I've never looked at the TH internals. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9946 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
