[GHC] #9089: Local .ghci_history

This would be similar in behaviour to the .ghci rules: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/7.8.2/html/users_guide/ghci-dot-files.html And I believe this should not be too complicated to do (I can even try it myself, if there is interest). -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9089 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

I've only included code, not the corresponding documentation patch, but I can also do that, of course.

Can you attach a diff produced by `git diff` or, failing that, at least with `diff -u`? (I think the attached diff is backwards, too.) Also, a documentation patch would be helpful. It's somewhat less obvious how I'm supposed to use a local .ghci_history file than a local .ghci file, since a .ghci file is written by the user, but a .ghci_history is (usually) produced by .ghci. Am I supposed to just create an empty .ghci_history file in the directory where I want to use local history? -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9089#comment:4 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

I should have checked the diff, it was almost useless. Attached is a proper diff (I hope).
Am I supposed to just create an empty .ghci_history file in the directory where I want to use local history?
Yes, that is basically it. Just as you need to create a local .ghci file when you want one. The other alternative would be a command line option, but this seems simpler. What do you think? When we reach an agreement, I'll add the documentation patch. Thanks! -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9089#comment:6 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

This is much easier for users to understand (e.g. they can look at `man ghc` to find it) I think. Please also update the documentation and I'll get to this - thanks! -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9089#comment:9 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
