#15882: :load in ghci should expose the entire namespace of a module -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: EyalLotem | Owner: (none) Type: feature | Status: new request | Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.6.3 Component: GHCi | Version: 8.6.2 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: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- When using "import" in ghci, only exported names are available. When using :load, the use case is typically for "toying around" or testing a module. In that case, the export list restrictions are much less useful. There is currently no way to just expose the same namespace context of the code in a module in ghci, and having :load do that sounds like it would be very useful. The ordinary "import" namespace semantics are after all available too. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/15882 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
