Hi devs,
In my work with Alfredo at revising our error message infrastructure, we ran
across some code that renders error messages as JSON. Given that our data
structures are changing, it seems natural to change the JSON output, too, but
it's unclear whether that's wise. The manual currently lists -ddump-json in the
chapter on "Debugging the compiler", suggesting that a change is fine, but I'm
not yet convinced.
So:
- Is there someone in charge of -ddump-json? Matthew Pickering authored
-ddump-json in
https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/commit/91691117fc194c525f58ccd5b266dd1d10493e5a
<https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/commit/91691117fc194c525f58ccd5b266dd1d10493e5a>.
- Are there clients of -ddump-json?
- Is there a specification of -ddump-json?
- There will likely be a desire to evolve this feature. What is the process
for doing so?
Thanks!
Richard
