#13009: Hierarchical Module Structure for GHC -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: hsyl20 | Owner: hsyl20 Type: task | Status: patch Priority: low | Milestone: Component: GHC API | Version: 8.0.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Phab:D3647 Wiki Page: | ModuleDependencies/Hierarchical | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by bgamari):
I think the benefits of this are very marginal and the costs quite high for package maintainers.
While I may agree that the benefits are nothing earth-shattering, I think we aren't yet in a position to judge the costs. Afterall, it has been proposed that we provide module re-exports, which would make this largely transparent to packages. I'd imagine that we would retain these for the usual three releases and then drop them. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/13009#comment:11 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
