#1896: Keep old bindings until :load succeeds -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Reporter: tibbe | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: closed Priority: low | Milestone: 7.6.2 Component: GHCi | Version: 6.8.1 Resolution: wontfix | Keywords: Os: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Failure: None/Unknown | Difficulty: Unknown Testcase: | Blockedby: Blocking: | Related: -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Changes (by igloo): * status: patch => closed * resolution: => wontfix Comment: For the `:reload` case, I don't think we want to fall back to the previous state if the reload fails. For example, suppose you have `A` and `B` loaded, `B` imports `A`, and you make a change to `A` and reload. If `B` is no longer well-typed, then I think you want to end up with the new `A` loaded so that you can see how to fix `B`. I'm going to close this ticket, but if anyone thinks there's a case that should be handled differently than it currently is, please open a new ticket and include step by step instructions to demonstrate the current (wrong) behaviour, and say what you think the right behaviour should be. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/1896#comment:22 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
