Re: GHC API: modInfoIsExportedName, String -> Name?

Hi. Correct me if I am wrong, but you are not supposed to construct 'Name's yourself. The point is that they are unique and hiding the constructors is a step towards preserving the invariants. Here's how I would do something like 'map nameOccName . modInfoExports' and then search for an OccName (which you can construct using mkOccName). Unfortunately I don't have GHC handy so I can't test this Cheers - Dan

Hi,

I wanted to use the GHC API to find if a symbol is exported from a module.

The function 'modInfoIsExportedName :: ModuleInfo -> Name -> Bool' seems to do what I want, but how do I convert a symbol string into a 'Name'?

Thanks for any hints!
