RE: [Haskell-cafe] RE: module names
Yes, good point. I suppose there's really no need to re-declare main once it's been imported.

Scherrer, Chad wrote: module Main where import A import B main = A.f >> B.f module A where f = ... module B where f = ... in a single file. This example is straight from chapter 5 of the Report, and no mention is made (that I could find) about modules needing to be in separate files. But this won't load in ghci! (Even if ... is changed to putStr "hi"). Eventually I figured out that it works fine if it's split over three separate files. The report says that they make up a single program, so that does not imply that they are in a single file. But, you are right: it's a good idea to be explicit about this. So here's what I'm trying to figure out: If every file corresponds to exactly one module (is that true?), then why must the module name be given again in the text of the file? When I'm using ghci, I have lots of modules that I sometimes want to load "as Main", and sometimes I only want them loaded as a dependency from another module. Currently, I have to go into each file to change the "module Foo where" line to do this. Section 9.5 of the report seems to show that stands for the compilation unit and it defines a single module. I suppose the standard allows you to name your module freely no matter your filesystem allows, but ghc requires (afaik) that module M exist in M.hs or M.lhs. Why not do this: name none of those modules Main.hs, and have an empty module Main.hs with only "import MainDeJour" and "main = MainDeJour.main" so you can just edit just that file.

Maybe the "-main-is" option can help to make your live easier?

Cheers, Koray -- Yeah, I like that approach. That saves me from having to remember which file I most recent used as main. Seems easy enough to even set it up so that load MainDuJour writes the file Main.hs with import MainDuJour main = MainDuJour.main and then and then calls ghc --make Main.hs -o mainDuJour This will do for now, but still feels really kludgy, especially for Haskell. -Chad ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
