#8220: Macros / functions for source location ------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: wojteknar | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.6.3 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Type of failure: None/Unknown Difficulty: Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | ------------------------------------+------------------------------------- In GNAT (Ada compiler) there is a special package with functions (evaluated at compile time) that return source location and enclosing entity name. This is very useful for logging and debugging. I'd love to have something similar in GHC. http://www.radford.edu/~nokie/classes/320/std_lib_html/gnat- source_info.html -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8220 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
