#7595: Static flags code needs cleanup -----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- Reporter: jstolarek | Owner: jstolarek Type: task | Status: new Priority: normal | Component: Driver Version: 7.7 | Keywords: Os: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Failure: None/Unknown | Blockedby: Blocking: | Related: -----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- While reading through the source code I noticed that code responsible for handling static flags could use some refactoring: * there are two modules that handle static flags: [[GhcFile(compiler/main/StaticFlags.hs)]] and [[GhcFile(compiler/main/StaticFlagParser.hs)]]. This is about 300 lines of code total and can be easily placed within a single file, especially that division of functions between these two files is sometimes confusing. * [[GhcFile(compiler/main/StaticFlags.hs)]] contains code responsible for handling dynamic flags. I will merge code from [[GhcFile(compiler/main/StaticFlagParser.hs)]] into into [[GhcFile(compiler/main/StaticFlags.hs)]], create a [[GhcFile(compiler/main/StaticFlags.hs-boot)]] to break module dependency cycles and move the code for handling dynamic flags to [[GhcFile(compiler/main/DynFlags.hs)]] -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7595 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
