Name: file-location Version: 0.2.4 Synopsis: common functions that show file location information Homepage: https://github.com/gregwebs/ErrorLocation.hs License: BSD3 License-file: LICENSE Author: Greg Weber Maintainer: greg@gregweber.info Category: Development Build-type: Simple Cabal-version: >=1.6 Description: Common debugging/error/exception functions that give file location information . > $(err "OH NO!") > > main:Main main.hs:16:1 OH NO! . Notice how it displays package:module file:line:character It exposes the functions err (error), undef (undefined), and trc (Debug.Trace.trace). All of these behave the same as their normal counterpart but also spit out a location. . Here is my favorite helper, debug, which is like trace but just show the value. . > debug [1,2,3] > > DEBUG: [1,2,3] > [1,2,3] . And The Template Haskell version. . > $(dbg) [1,2,3] > > DEBUG main:Main main.hs:1:3 [1,2,3] > [1,2,3] . Also there is a version of thrwIO that gives location information > ($(thrwIO) $ AException) `catch` \e -> putStrLn ("Caught " ++ show (e :: AException)) > > Caught AException "main:Main test/main.hs:25:6" . See module for a listing of all the functions with short descriptions, and the homepage for some more examples https://github.com/gregwebs/ErrorLocation.hs Source-Repository head type: git location: https://github.com/gregwebs/FileLocation.hs Library Exposed-modules: FileLocation, Debug.FileLocation, Control.Exception.Control.FileLocation, Debug.Util, FileLocation.LocationString -- Packages needed in order to build this package.
