Fields

type FinderCache = InstalledModuleEnv InstalledFindResult #

findImportedModule :: HscEnv -> ModuleName -> Maybe FastString -> IO FindResult Source #

Locate a module that was imported by the user. We have the module's name, and possibly a package name. Without a package name, this function will use the search path and the known exposed packages to find the module, if a package is specified then only that package is searched for the module.

findPluginModule :: HscEnv -> ModuleName -> IO FindResult Source #

Locate a plugin module requested by the user, for a compiler plugin. This consults the same set of exposed packages as findImportedModule, unless -hide-all-plugin-packages or -plugin-package are specified.

findExactModule :: HscEnv -> InstalledModule -> IO InstalledFindResult Source #

Locate a specific Module. The purpose of this function is to create a ModLocation for a given Module, that is to find out where the files associated with this module live. It is used when reading the interface for a module mentioned by another interface, for example (a "system import").

mkHiPath :: DynFlags -> FilePath -> String -> FilePath Source #

Constructs the filename of a .hi file for a given source file. Does not check whether the .hi file exists

mkObjPath :: DynFlags -> FilePath -> String -> FilePath Source #

Constructs the filename of a .o file for a given source file. Does not check whether the .o file exists
