If I use :browse a module with GHC 6.12, it sometimes displays garbage. Here is an example:
Prelude> :browse Data.IP data AddrRange a = iproute-0.2.0:Data.IP.Range.AddrRange {addr :: a, mask :: a, mlen :: Int} (snip) data AddrRange a = iproute-0.2.0:Data.IP.Range.AddrRange {..., mask :: a, ...} data AddrRange a = iproute-0.2.0:Data.IP.Range.AddrRange {..., mlen :: Int}
"..." is the garbage. Due to this, I cannot parse the output of :browse. This is not displayed with GHC 6.10.
Q1) What is the intention of "..."?
I believe it's related to the module export list.
module Test (y) where data R = R { x :: Char, y :: Int, z :: Float }
*Test> :browse data Test.R = Test.R {..., y :: Int, ...} Q2) How to prevent it so that I can obtain output which I can parse?
Export all the labels, perhaps? Regards, Sean
