data Plugin

Plugin is the compiler plugin data type. Try to avoid constructing one of these directly, and just modify some fields of defaultPlugin instead: this is to try and preserve source-code compatibility when we add fields to this.

Nonetheless, this API is preliminary and highly likely to change in the future.

Constructors

Plugin

Fields

• installCoreToDos :: CorePlugin

  Modify the Core pipeline that will be used for compilation. This is called as the Core pipeline is built for every module being compiled, and plugins get the opportunity to modify the pipeline in a nondeterministic order.

• tcPlugin :: TcPlugin

  An optional typechecker plugin, which may modify the behaviour of the constraint solver.

• holeFitPlugin :: HoleFitPlugin

  An optional plugin to handle hole fits, which may re-order or change the list of valid hole fits and refinement hole fits.

• dynflagsPlugin :: [CommandLineOption] -> DynFlags -> IO DynFlags

  An optional plugin to update DynFlags, right after plugin loading. This can be used to register hooks or tweak any field of DynFlags before doing actual work on a module.

  Since: ghc-8.10.1

• pluginRecompile :: [CommandLineOption] -> IO PluginRecompile

  Specify how the plugin should affect recompilation.

• parsedResultAction :: [CommandLineOption] -> ModSummary -> HsParsedModule -> Hsc HsParsedModule

  Modify the module when it is parsed. This is called by HscMain when the parsing is successful.

• renamedResultAction :: [CommandLineOption] -> TcGblEnv -> HsGroup GhcRn -> TcM (TcGblEnv, HsGroup GhcRn)

  Modify each group after it is renamed. This is called after each HsGroup has been renamed.

• typeCheckResultAction :: [CommandLineOption] -> ModSummary -> TcGblEnv -> TcM TcGblEnv

  Modify the module when it is type checked. This is called at the very end of typechecking.

• spliceRunAction :: [CommandLineOption] -> LHsExpr GhcTc -> TcM (LHsExpr GhcTc)

  Modify the TH splice or quasiqoute before it is run.

• interfaceLoadAction :: forall lcl. [CommandLineOption] -> ModIface -> IfM lcl ModIface

  Modify an interface that have been loaded. This is called by LoadIface when an interface is successfully loaded. Not applied to the loading of the plugin interface. Tools that rely on information from modules other than the currently compiled one should implement this function.

defaultPlugin :: Plugin

Default plugin: does nothing at all, except for marking that safe inference has failed unless -fplugin-trustworthy is passed. For compatibility reaso you should base all your plugin definitions on this default value.

data PluginWithArgs

Constructors

PluginWithArgs

Fields

• paPlugin :: Plugin

  the actual callable plugin

• paArguments :: [CommandLineOption]

  command line arguments for the plugin

applyPluginsParsedResultAction :: HscEnv -> DynFlags -> ModSummary -> ApiAnns -> ParsedSource -> IO ParsedSource

initializePlugins :: HscEnv -> IO HscEnv

Static plugins

data StaticPlugin

A static plugin with its arguments. For registering compiled-in plugins through the GHC API.

Constructors

StaticPlugin

Fields

• spPlugin :: PluginWithArgs

  the actual plugin together with its commandline arguments

hsc_static_plugins :: HscEnv -> [StaticPlugin]
