#9499: Add -prelude-is flag -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: agibiansky | Owner: agibiansky Type: feature | Status: new request | Milestone: Priority: normal | Version: 7.9 Component: Compiler | Keywords: flag Resolution: | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Operating System: | Difficulty: Easy (less than 1 Unknown/Multiple | hour) Type of failure: | Blocked By: None/Unknown | Related Tickets: Test Case: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Changes (by ezyang): * differential: Phab:D171 => Comment: I'm sorry I'm late to the conversation, but I wanted to remark that with GHC HEAD, there is an alternative implementation path to this feature, which is reusing the new module renaming support. Essentially, instead of saying `-prelude-is`, you can say `-package "base hiding (Prelude)" -package "my-prelude (MyPrelude as Prelude)"`. (Well, actually, the `hiding` modifier is not supported yet, but it wouldn't be hard to add.) Obviously this set of flags is longer, so `-prelude-is` might still be a handy shortcut, but an FYI! -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9499#comment:3 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
