#7730: :info and polykinds --------------------------------------------+------------------------------ Reporter: monoidal | Owner: archblob Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.8.1 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 archblob): By the "old way" I mean that in most cases the output of ``` pprIfaceDecl ``` looks nothing like ``` ppr_ty_thing ```, so the way I described this would pe to leave ``` ppr = pprIfaceDecl Nothing ``` for the ``` Outputable ``` instance of ``` IfaceDecl ``` so that when using ``` --show-iface ``` nothing would change, also there is a lot more information printed by ``` pprIfaceDecl ``` than ``` ppr_ty_thing ```. So if you want the output of ``` pprIfaceDecl ``` to look like ``` ppr_ty_thing ``` I'm not sure what to do about the extra information that is now printed, and that will also affect the output of ``` --show-iface ``` ? -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7730#comment:16 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
