#9628: Add Annotations to the AST to simplify source to source conversions -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: alanz | Owner: alanz Type: feature | Status: new request | Milestone: Priority: normal | Version: 7.8.3 Component: Compiler | Keywords: Resolution: | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Operating System: | Difficulty: Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Blocked By: Type of failure: | Related Tickets: None/Unknown | Test Case: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by alanz): On further reflection, option 1 will allow for example a smart editor which uses the annotated `ParsedSource` as a primary data structure and submits changes through for incremental renaming/type checking and eventual code generation. This way the normal command line invocation will lock the annotation down as a `SrcSpan`, but it can be replaced all the way through when used for tooling. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9628#comment:8 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
