#15269: Qualified Names in --show-iface output -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: sjakobi | Owner: (none) Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.8.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 8.4.3 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 simonpj): I didn't know this, but indeed `--show-iface` doesn't seem to show qualified names, which is confusing in unfoldings. (It might be reasonable not to quality names from the current module.) This is controlled by the pretty-printing style. I'm not sure how `--show-iface` invokes the pretty-printer, but it looks as though `defaultUserStyle` omits the module qualifier on everything, which isn't what we want here {{{ defaultUserStyle :: DynFlags -> PprStyle defaultUserStyle dflags = mkUserStyle dflags neverQualify AllTheWay }}} Note that `neverQualify`. So I think you could fix it for all of `--show-iface` not just for docstring. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/15269#comment:4 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
