#11660: Remove Type pretty-printer in favor of IfaceType -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: bgamari | Owner: Type: task | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.10.3 Resolution: | 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 bgamari): I quickly looked at this; unfortunately more `SOURCE` imports of `TyCoRep` is almost inevitable under this change. Currently `IfaceType` must import `TyCoRep` due to the conversion functions. Now we'll also need the inverse import in order to implement the `Type` pretty-printer in terms of the `IfaceType` printer. I suppose we could move the `IfaceType` conversion functions to `Type`, although this seems like it would be an odd break with how the other iface constructs are handled. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11660#comment:3 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
