Defined in GHC.Iface.Binary

getWithUserData :: Binary a => NameCacheUpdater -> BinHandle -> IO a Source #

This performs a get action after reading the dictionary and symbol table. It is necessary to run this before trying to deserialise any Names or FastStrings.

putWithUserData :: Binary a => TraceBinIFace -> BinHandle -> a -> IO () Source #

Put a piece of data with an initialised UserData field. This is necessary if you want to serialise Names or FastStrings. It also writes a symbol table and the dictionary. This segment should be read using getWithUserData.
