#10143: Separate PprFlags (used by Outputable) from DynFlags -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: ezyang | Owner: ezyang Type: task | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.11 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: #10961 | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by dalaing): If `PprFlags` is to be strictly about rendering, then `SDocContext` either needs to continue to have `DynFlags` in it, or needs to carry around the `PlatformConstants`, the general flags, and a whole heap of other stuff from `DynFlags`. That's just to handle the existing use cases, where folks have used `sdocWithDynFlags` to get hold of info they need for pretty printing where that information isn't plumbed in from anywhere. We could shift the non-rendering information from `PprFlags` into `SDocContext` - but since `PprFlags` is only being used via an `SDocContext`, it wouldn't be much of a change from the way things are now. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10143#comment:11 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
