Hi,
While adding some package checks for the new benchmark section I came up
with some questions regarding section names. I think we need to clarify the
design here.
Which things live in the same namespace? The current checks seems
inconsistent:
* The library (i.e. package name) and executables live in different
namespaces and thus there's no check that executables don't share the
library name.
* The executables and test suites live in the same namespace:
, check (not (null testsThatAreExes)) $
PackageBuildImpossible $ "These test sections share names with
executable sections: "
++ commaSep testsThatAreExes
* The test suites and the library live in the same namespace:
, check libNameClash $
PackageBuildImpossible $
"The test suite " ++ testName test
++ " has the same name as the package."
I think the latter is wrong. I think the executable, test suite, and
benchmark names should live in the same namespace and the package (and thus
library) name should be in a different one. Do you agree? If we all agreed
then I will remove the check for test suites/library name clashes above and
add a check that checks all pairs of executable, test suite, and benchmark
names.
Cheers,
Johan
