#8489: clean up dependency and usages handling in interface files -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: errge | Owner: errge Type: task | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Template Haskell | Version: 7.7 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: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by mgsloan): I don't understand how the explicit imports list of a module would be helpful to another module. I've never grokked the usecase for this. I suggest just changing the documentation to indicate that it is a list of usages rather than imports, to resolve this. How's that sound? Assigning this ticket to myself, to implement via documentation. Alternatively, this usages information could just get removed. Worth checking if there are uses of it on hackage. I am considering implementing reification of exports (https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10391), which is what I think most people would want in module reification as that would be quite useful. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8489#comment:12 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
