#8869: External preprocessor not used after TH name quote -----------------------------+---------------------------------- Reporter: myrix | Owner: Type: bug | Status: closed Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.4.1 Resolution: invalid | Keywords: Operating System: Linux | Architecture: x86_64 (amd64) Type of failure: Other | Difficulty: Unknown Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: -----------------------------+---------------------------------- Changes (by simonpj): * status: new => closed * resolution: => invalid Comment: I suspect that cpp treats the `'id` as opening a quotation, and doesn't interpret the __FILE__ inside that quote. So this isn't a bug in GHC, more just that cpp isn't doing what you want. Reopen if you think it's a bug in GHC Simon -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8869#comment:1 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
