#10144: Variant of runGhc which accepts prelude for setting up DynFlags -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: ezyang | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: GHC API | Version: 7.11 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Type of failure: None/Unknown | Unknown/Multiple Blocked By: | Test Case: Related Tickets: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by simonpj): Without looking at this in detail, it smells to me that the pacakge- database stuff should be in `HscEnv` (which embodies the session state) rather than in `DynFlags`. Changing some arguments from `DynFlags` to `HscEnv` doesn't sound so bad. I wonder if the package stuff should be mutable state, rather than returning a new `HscEnv`? Many other things in `HscEnv` have this mutable-state flavour. I feel I don't know enough to have an opinion on the "new version of `runGhc`". Anything that makes the GHC API simpler and more robust is good.# Simon -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10144#comment:2 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
