TFlags.hs

-- Support for language options

{-# LANGUAGE ScopedTypeVariables #-}
module TFlags where

-- Language options set in the module source (ScopedTypeVariables)
-- also apply to tests so this works fine
-- >>> f = (\(c::Char) -> [c])

{- Multiple options can be set with a single `:set`

>>> :set -XMultiParamTypeClasses -XFlexibleInstances
>>> class Z a b c
-}

{-

Options apply only in the section where they are defined (unless they are in the setup section), so this will fail:

>>> class L a b c
-}


{-
Options apply to all tests in the same section after their declaration.

Not set yet:

>>> class D

Now it works:

>>>:set -XMultiParamTypeClasses
>>> class C

It still works

>>> class F
-}

{- Now -package flag is handled correctly:

>>> :set -package ghc-prim
>>> import GHC.Prim

-}

{- -fprint-* families

>>> import Data.Proxy
>>> :set -XPolyKinds
>>> :t Proxy
Proxy :: forall k (t :: k). Proxy t

>>> :set -fprint-explicit-foralls
>>> :t Proxy
Proxy :: forall {k} {t :: k}. Proxy t
-}

{- Invalid option/flags are reported, but valid ones will be reflected

>>> :set -XRank2Types -XAbsent -XDatatypeContexts -XWrong -fprint-nothing-at-all

Still, Rank2Types is enabled, as in GHCi:

>>> f = const 42 :: (forall x. x) -> Int
>>> f undefined
-}
