#9851: Hoopl library in GHC hides runWithFuel / version number clash -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: AndreasVoellmy | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: libraries/hoopl | Version: 7.8.3 Keywords: | Operating System: Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Unknown/Multiple Difficulty: Unknown | Type of failure: Other Blocked By: | Test Case: Related Tickets: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- The hoopl library on hackage exposes runWithFuel in Compiler.Hoopl. This function is used in the examples distributed with the library (in the testing directory). The version of hoopl distributed in GHC does not expose runWithFuel. Further, the version number of the GHC packaged hoopl is identical to the version number of the hoopl library on hackage. This is (1) confusing, since the haddock docs on hackage for the version in use on the system by default is not accurate, and (2) annoying, since you cannot get the version on hackage by just running a cabal install. Instead, you have to download the package, update the version number, and then cabal install. The fix seems to involve one or both of the following: (1) Bump the version number of hoopl on hackage. (2) Expose runWithFuel in the version distributed with GHC. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9851 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
