Re: Why have file names with 3 components?

This looks like a bug, but please don't change it!

If you have a file A.blah.hs containing a module A, ghc5.02 compiles it, producing A.hi and A.blah.o.

This is correct... the basename for the .hi files is the module name, not the filename. Thus if A.blah.hs contained "module C where..." then the hi file would be C.hi. --KW 8-) -- Keith Wansbrough http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/users/kw217/ Cambridge University Computer Laboratory.
