#8207: Pretty Printer for textual version of Language (name) in DynFlags -------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Reporter: Fuuzetsu | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: low | Milestone: Component: GHC API | Version: 7.7 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Difficulty: Unknown Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Comment (by carter): to further clarify, based upon further discussion on IRC, {{{ [23:39:41] <Fuuzetsu> Yep, all I want is Language -> String out of only having DynFlags which provides Maybe Language. }}} Its worth noting that this probably shouldn't be a show instance, because Language Standards need not have only the form (capital letter)(aphanumeric*). The key point is a function to pretty print the name of the Language should be exposed. And probably more future proof to funny names if its not done via Show specifically. ie {{{ renderLanguageName :: Language -> String }}} or the like -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8207#comment:1 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
