#12617: Make the interface of traceTc and traceRn the same -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: mpickering | Owner: Type: task | Status: new Priority: lowest | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.0.1 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: None/Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- It always seemed strange to me that the interfaces for `traceTc` and `traceRn` were different. {{{#!hs traceTc :: String -> SDoc -> TcM () traceRn :: SDoc -> RnM () }}} I personally prefer using the `traceTc` interface and have to look up each time which function uses which interface. It seems beneficial but annoying to make `traceRn` have the same interface to improve usability slightly. Are there any objections if someone was to do this? -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12617 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
