#8340: support for generating annotations from TH -------------------------------------------+------------------------------- Reporter: errge | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.8.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 7.7 Keywords: | Operating System: Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Unknown/Multiple Difficulty: Easy (less than 1 hour) | Type of failure: Blocked By: | None/Unknown Related Tickets: | Test Case: | Blocking: 7867 -------------------------------------------+------------------------------- This patch adds support for template haskell generation of annotations. This is currently only possible directly via ```{-# ANN function "whatever annotation #-}```. The attached patch makes it possible to do the same from TH. Module and type annotations are supported too. This is part of a larger effort to make it possible to cross-module communicate between template haskell runs. See #7867 for a longer discussion. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8340 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
