#10336: Support qualified self {-# SOURCE #-} import -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: ezyang | Owner: Type: feature | Status: new request | Milestone: ⊥ Priority: lowest | Version: 7.11 Component: Compiler | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Keywords: | Type of failure: GHC rejects Architecture: | valid program Unknown/Multiple | Blocked By: 7672 Test Case: | Related Tickets: Blocking: | Differential Revisions: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- The source import in this module is a no-op and has no legitimate use: {{{ module A where import {-# SOURCE #-} A }}} It's also tricky to support properly, see #10182. So we will disable it. However, there is one mode of use which cannot be legitimately done in normal Haskell: a qualified source import: {{{ module A where import {-# SOURCE #-} qualified A as MyA }}} The intended semantics is that the boot entities defined in A.hs-boot are available under the qualification MyA. Fixing #7672 would get us most of the way here, but there is one more step to avoid regressing #10182. So this just seems not worth fixing, unless someone really wants it. (Note: regular self imports could also be supported this way, but it would be even more complicated to do, since we don't even know what OccNames to add provenances for.) -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10336 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
