#9403: Make --show-iface more human readable -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: ezyang | Owner: ezyang Type: task | Status: new Priority: low | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.9 Keywords: | Operating System: Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Unknown/Multiple Difficulty: Unknown | Type of failure: Other Blocked By: | Test Case: Related Tickets: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Right now --show-iface is not particularly interpretable, even if you are looking at the Outputable instance for `ModIface`. The problem seems to be the output for `mi_deps`, `mi_usages`, `mi_decls`, `mi_insts`, `mi_fam_insts` and `mi_rules` is not clearly delimited, making it unclear (for example) what `import -/ base:Prelude HASH` refers to unless you already happen to know that this must be from `mi_usages`. It should be relatively easy to improve this, but I want to make sure people who rely on this output aren't blindsided by the changes. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9403 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
