Use ghc-lib to support a range of GHC versions

Open arybczak opened this issue 5 years ago • 4 comments

Did you try to make it work?

Simply changing ghc dependency to ghc-lib doesn't work because of ghc-exactprint type mismatches, so presumably ghc-exactprint would also need to use ghc-lib.

Yeah, I don't see how apply-refact can migrate to ghc-lib unless ghc-exactprint migrates first.

ghc-exactprint would definitely need to migrate (or offer the option) first.

If ghc-exactprint and apply-refact were on matching versions of ghc-lib, I'd be slightly tempted to wonder if we could link in apply-refact as a library into HLint.

Sounds good; I raised https://github.com/alanz/ghc-exactprint/issues/93. Not sure how much work it is; I may have some time to work on it, but my time available for open source work over the next few months will be very limited.

Will that be possible with 9.2 now that ghc-exactprint was integrated into GHC?
