Re: Accessing the "original" names via GHC API

[Ranjit Jhala]

@Simon,

The route you outline was the one we already use -- but that gives back
the full name "Data.Set.Base.Set" (instead of "S.Set" or "Data.Set.Set"),
as the module is "Data.Set.Base".

@Edward,

Yes, I think your suggestion should work! This business of determining
which packages/modules are hidden is exactly what we are trying to get
around. (In this case, Data.Set.Base is hidden...)

Thanks all!

- Ranjit.

Re: Accessing the "original" names via GHC API

[Edward Z. Yang]

Hi Ranjit,

Unfortunately you need more information to do this, since the
set of modules which are available for import can vary depending
on whether or not packages are hidden or not (not even counting
whether or not a module is exposed or not!)

The way GHC's pretty printer gives a good name is that it keeps
track of all of the names in scope and where they came from
in a GlobalRdrEnv.  The relevant code is in 'mkPrintUnqualified'
in HscTypes, but if you pretty print using user-style with
an appropriately set up GlobalRdrEnv you should
get the things you want.

RE: Accessing the "original" names via GHC API

[Simon Peyton Jones via Glasgow-haskell-users]

The TyCon has a Name (use tyConName to get it).
The Name has a Module and an OccName (use nameModule and nameOccName to get 
them)
The OccName has a string (occNameString)
The Module has a ModuleName and a Package.


All of these will give the “original-name” info, ignoring what’s in scope.

Does that help?

Subject: Accessing the "original" names via GHC API

Hi,

I'm quite vexed trying to do the following. Suppose I have a file:

```
module Foo

import qualified Data.Set as S

baz :: S.Set Int
baz = S.empty
```

My goal is to write a function

   tyconString :: TyCon -> String

(perhaps with extra parameters) such that given the
`TyCon` corresponding to `Set`, I get back the "original"
name `S.Set`, or even `Data.Set.Set`.

Everything I've tried, which is fiddling with different variants of `PprStyle`, 
end up giving me `Data.Set.Base.Set`

Does anyone have a suggestion for how to proceed?

Thanks!

- Ranjit.

Re: Accessing the "original" names via GHC API

[Ranjit Jhala]

Dear Joachim,

You are right -- some more context.

Given

  tc  :: TyCon
  m   :: ModName
  env :: HscEnv

I want to get a

  s :: String

such that _in_ the context given by `m` and `env` I can resolve `s` to get
back the original `TyCon`, e.g. something like

  L _ rn <- hscParseIdentifier env s
  name   <- lookupRdrName env modName rn

would then return `name :: Name` which corresponds to the original `TyCon`.

That is, the goal is _not_ pretty printing, but "serialization" into a
String
representation that lets me recover the original `TyCon` later.

(Consequently, `"Data.Set.Base.Set"` doesn't work as the `Data.Set.Base`
module is hidden and hence, when I try the above, GHC complains that the
name is not in scope.

Does that clarify the problem?

Thanks!

- Ranjit.

in a way, `Data.Set.Base.Set` is the “original”, proper name for Set,
everything else is just a local view on the name.

So, are you maybe looking for a way to get the “most natural way” to
print a name in a certain module context?

This functionality must exist somewhere, as ghci is printing out errors
this way. But it certainly would require an additional argument to
tyconString, to specify in which module to print the name.

Greetings,
Joachim
