#16104: Plugin name lookup behavior change from GHC 8.4 series -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: lerkok | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: closed Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.6.4 Component: Compiler | Version: 8.6.3 Resolution: fixed | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by Ben Gamari ): In [changeset:"0d9f105ba423af4f2ca215a18d04d4c8e2c372a8/ghc" 0d9f105b/ghc]: {{{ #!CommitTicketReference repository="ghc" revision="0d9f105ba423af4f2ca215a18d04d4c8e2c372a8" GhcPlugins: Fix lookup of TH names Previously `thNameToGhcName` was calling `lookupOrigNameCache` directly, which failed to handle the case that the name wasn't already in the name cache. This happens, for instance, when the name was in scope in a plugin being used during compilation but not in scope in the module being compiled. In this case we the interface file containing the name won't be loaded and `lookupOrigNameCache` fails. This was the cause of #16104. The solution is simple: use the nicely packaged `lookupOrigIO` instead. }}} -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/16104#comment:12 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
