When I work on a program which is going to be named LongProgramName, I usually put the Main module in file LongProgramName.hs. It would be nice if I could build it with --make like this:
$ ghc --make LongProgramName
instead of
$ ghc --make LongProgramName -o LongProgramName
My convention is to use a file name starting with a lower case letter (to avoid confusion with normal modules) and "hmake" is able to make the corresponding binary (using ghc).
Does anyone rely on the first one producing a.out?
I don't or maybe only to "find" binaries that should be deleted.
Because of this long syntax and comand-line completion I've even once lost the source code. I forgot to remove the .hs at the end of line:
I'ld appreciate if ghc would make a binary corresponding to the top-level file name (irregardless of the danger of overwriting files) Christian
