#7730: :info and polykinds --------------------------------------------+------------------------------ Reporter: monoidal | Owner: archblob Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.10.1 Component: Compiler (Type checker) | Version: 7.6.2 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Type of failure: None/Unknown | Unknown/Multiple Test Case: | Difficulty: Unknown Blocking: | Blocked By: | Related Tickets: #8776 --------------------------------------------+------------------------------ Comment (by simonmar): @archblob asked me about this on IRC. I suggested that rather than making `ifName` a qualified name, it would be better to pass in the `Name` when pretty printing the `IfaceDecl`. There's only one `ifName` per `IfaceDecl`, so passing it in separately should be fine. I wonder about things like constructor names (`ifConOcc`), record field names (`ifConFields`), and method names though. Perhaps they need to be qualified too. In which case you'll need to pass in more `Name`s for those. Another thought I had is that perhaps it would be better to reify the stuff into `THSyn` and print that instead. `THSyn` is closer to Haskell than `IfaceSyn`. But perhaps that would mean duplicating the tidying logic? -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7730#comment:39 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
