#10853: Refine addTopDecls -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: goldfire | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.0.1 Component: Template Haskell | Version: 7.10.2 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 goldfire): It turns out that my proposal to change the treatment of regions is a bad idea. This is because `addTopDecls` is useful for generating new definitions that get used right away. If region D isn't available when type-checking region A, this isn't possible. Note that the fact that region D isn't available when ''renaming'' A is OK, as Template Haskell can use "exact" names. But this still could be cleaned up. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10853#comment:4 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
