#10643: GHC cannot import submodules when run from subfolder -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: FPtje | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.10.1 Resolution: | Keywords: subfolder | import submodule cd Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Type of failure: GHC rejects | Unknown/Multiple valid program | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Revisions: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by goldfire): Chiming in here at Sven's request (at the end of comment:7), though I don't feel strongly: I think the original request is reasonable, well-specified, backward compatible, and straightforward to implement. I also think that the objections raised here are reasonable, in that users experienced in other languages would find the proposed behavior unexpected and that the limitation in GHC described here seems unlikely to bite in non-trivial situations. So I think the best way around this impasse is to see what other users think. After all, I think the burden lies with the requester of a new feature to ensure that public opinion agrees with the request before anyone considers implementing. This is especially true with simple user- facing changes like this one. So, @FPtje, gather a groundswell of support for this feature request, and it will be given more consideration. In any case, thanks to both of you for your impassioned arguments above -- users who care about their software is what makes open-source software great. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10643#comment:11 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
