#2168: ghci should show haddock comments for identifier -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: j.waldmann | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: lowest | Milestone: 7.12.1 Component: GHCi | Version: 6.8.2 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Type of failure: None/Unknown | Unknown/Multiple Blocked By: | Test Case: Related Tickets: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Changes (by waern): * cc: hvr (added) * failure: => None/Unknown Comment: Like Igloo said, I think we should just add Haddock comments to the .hi files. We are already storing meta data in there such as annotations. Incidentally, if we do this then Haddock might also eventually be able to generate docs purely based on .hi files (useful in some cases). -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/2168#comment:20 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
