But how could they be exported anyway? You can't mention it in the export list, presumably.
But you can. :( {{{ {-# LANGUAGE TemplateHaskell #-} module TestTH ( bar ) where import Language.Haskell.TH $( do bar <- newName "bar" return [ValD (VarP bar) (NormalB (ConE 'True)) []] ) }}} They also get exported with an omitted export list. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10599#comment:15 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
