#13009: Hierarchical Module Structure for GHC -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: hsyl20 | Owner: hsyl20 Type: task | Status: patch Priority: low | Milestone: Component: Compiler | 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): Phab:D3647 Wiki Page: | ModuleDependencies/Hierarchical | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by hvr): Do we have numbers on how many packages actually directly depend on `ghc` (i.e. reverse deps) and thus actually suffer from the namespace clash? There's also the option to have a pure reexporting package which uses Cabal's feature to reexport modules at the cabal level under a different name: ModuleReexports; that way we could experiment with a new hierarchy without having to commit to it just yet. And once we're convinced we could do a physical reshuffling. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/13009#comment:5 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
