#12410: Somehow detect splicing in ghci -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: Iceland_jack | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Template Haskell | 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): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Changes (by goldfire): * component: Compiler => Template Haskell Comment: GHCi sees splices as ''expression'' splices. You want a ''declaration'' splice. The truth is that either one is reasonable. But perhaps GHCi can detect what you mean by the types and Do The Right Thing. Just like it already does to detect when you want an `IO` action. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12410#comment:3 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
