#15269: Qualified Names in --show-iface output -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: sjakobi | Owner: (none) Type: feature | Status: new request | Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.8.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 8.4.3 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: None/Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- == Motivation In the Hi Haddock project we use tests based on the `--show-iface` mode. In the `.hi`-files we dump, we list the `Name`s that may correspond to an identifier found in a docstring. In the case of ambiguous identifiers, it would be nice to see the module names of the corresponding `Name`s, so we can tell them apart. == Possible solutions * In Phab:D4806, I proposed to hardcode qualification for `--show-iface`. But this may create unwanted noise in different usecases. * If I could use `-dppr-debug` with `--show-iface` I would do that. Currently I get the following error if try: {{{ Warning: the following files would be used as linker inputs, but linking is not being done: NoExportList.hi -dppr-debug: openBinaryFile: does not exist (No such file or directory) }}} -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/15269 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
