Given a nested splice, how do you associate it with a post-processor
Well, GHC would apply the post-procssor to the expression for the top- level splice. It would pass the expression, so no need for any other association. I don't understand the nested-splice issue. Yes, it's a bit like a plugin. But then TH splices are already a bit like a plugin: both provide code that the compiler links dynamically and runs at compile time. I'm a bit ouf of my depth. Is anyone else interested in this? Designing for a single use-case is sometimes justified, but it's better if there are more. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/13608#comment:19 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
