#12992: Language.Haskell.TH doesn't reexport everything from Language.Haskell.TH.Lib -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: RyanGlScott | Owner: RyanGlScott Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.2.1 Component: Template | Version: 8.0.1 Haskell | Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: Other Unknown/Multiple | Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- The documentation for `Language.Haskell.TH.Lib` [http://git.haskell.org/ghc.git/blob/9e862765ffe161da8a4fd9cd67b0a600874feaa9... /template-haskell/Language/Haskell/TH/Lib.hs#l8 claims]: {{{#!hs -- All of the exports from this module should -- be "public" functions. The main module TH -- re-exports them all. }}} Sadly, this isn't true. There are a number of functions that `Language.Haskell.TH` accidentally forgets to export. Notably, this includes all of the unboxed tuple library functions, as noticed [https://phabricator.haskell.org/D2448#inline-20282 here], but there are many others as well. To avoid this sort of thing in the future, I think the cleanest solution would be to just reexport the entirely of the `Language.Haskell.TH.Lib` module from `Language.Haskell.TH`. This would have the downside that you'll have to click an extra link in order to see the Haddocks for `Language.Haskell.TH.Lib`, but I believe the simplification will be worth it. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12992 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
