#3452: Show type of most recent expression in GHCi -------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Reporter: ozy | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: patch Priority: lowest | Milestone: 7.6.2 Component: GHCi | Version: 6.10.4 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Difficulty: Unknown Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Comment (by goldfire): I'm a little confused by the output generated in your gist. Is the `t` option assumed now? You don't seem to set it, but you do unset it. And, I think the output should be more explicit about that it's changing behavior based on the lack of a Show instance. Having the output sometimes be a value and sometimes be a type is confusing! In another direction, should we maybe promote the use of `:force`? This allows us to see the value of certain structures that don't have a `Show` instance. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/3452#comment:12 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
