- Notes on module dependencies
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-The Name/Var/Type group is a bit complicated. Here's the deal
-Things in brackets are what the module *uses*.
-A 'loop' indicates a use from a module compiled later
-
- Name, PrimRep, FieldLabel (loop Type.Type)
-then
- Var (loop CoreSyn.CoreExpr, loop IdInfo.IdInfo,
- loop Type.GenType, loop Type.Kind)
-then
- VarEnv, VarSet, ThinAir
-then
- Class (loop TyCon.TyCon, loop Type.Type, loop InstEnv.InstEnv)
-then
- TyCon (loop Type.Type, loop Type.Kind, loop DataCon.DataCon)
-then
- Type (loop DataCon.DataCon, loop Subst.substTy)
-then
- TysPrim (Type), PprEnv (loop DataCon.DataCon, Type)
-then
- Unify, PprType (PprEnv)
-then
- Literal (TysPrim, PprType), DataCon
-then
- InstEnv (Unify)
-then
- TysWiredIn (DataCon.mkDataCon, loop MkId.mkDataConId)
-then
- PrimOp (PprType, TysWiredIn)
-then
- CoreSyn
-then
- IdInfo (loop CoreSyn.CoreRules etc, loop CoreUnfold.Unfolding)
-then
- Id (lots from IdInfo)
-then
- CoreFVs, PprCore
-then
- CoreUtils (PprCore.pprCoreExpr, CoreFVs.exprFreeVars,
- loop CoreUnfold.isEvaldUnfolding CoreUnfold.maybeUnfoldingTemplate)
-then
- OccurAnal (CoreUtils.exprIsTrivial)
-then
- CoreUnfold (OccurAnal.occurAnalyseGlobalExpr)
-then
- Rules (Unfolding), Subst (Unfolding, CoreFVs), CoreTidy (noUnfolding)
-then
- MkId (CoreUnfold.mkUnfolding, Subst)
