#10311: package name returned from tyConPackage is garbled -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: j.waldmann | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.10.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Type of failure: None/Unknown | Unknown/Multiple Blocked By: | Test Case: Related Tickets: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by ezyang): The reason for this is that the internal representation of TyCons has changed from packagename-version to package keys, which is the garbled output you're seeing. The GHC approved way of getting the original name is to consult the package database. A bit unfortunately, you're not using the GHC API, so I'm not actually sure there is a simple simple way to manage this in your case. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10311#comment:1 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
