[GHC] #11110: GHCi documentation says ":show packages" gives a list of packages currently loaded
#11110: GHCi documentation says ":show packages" gives a list of packages currently loaded -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: massysett | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.10.2 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: None/Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- GHC manual section 2.7, "GHCi commands", says that ":show packages" shows a list of packages currently loaded. When I run ":show packages" I never get such a list. All I get are package flags, which will report what packages are actually loaded only if GHCi was invoked with "-hide-all- packages". I do not know if the documentation is inaccurate, if GHCi is not doing something it should, or if I am not understanding what it means to "show a list of packages currently loaded". -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11110> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
