| Haskell 98 has never supported separate compilation. That's why we | have hi-boot files (or something similar). | | So, yes, I'd like to know how the language designers intend to support | separate compilation in the next version. H98 has nothing to say about the separate compilation; it's an issue for the implementation. GHC does separate compilation for Haskell, and always has done. It requires the programmer to supply an auxiliary hi-boot file for one module in each mutually recursive group (and, of course, none if there is no recursion between modules). Simon
