#8761: Make pattern synonyms work with Template Haskell ------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: goldfire | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Template Haskell | Version: 7.8.1-rc1 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Type of failure: None/Unknown Difficulty: Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | ------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Template Haskell has no support for pattern synonyms. This should be added. Specifically: * Create syntax in `Language.Haskell.TH.Syntax` and corresponding functions in `Language.Haskell.TH.Lib` * Support in !DsMeta for desugaring pattern synonym quotations. See `rep_bind`. * Support in Convert for splicing in pattern synonyms. * Support in !TcSplice for reifying pattern synonyms. See `reifyThing`. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8761 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
