-
-The IfaceFlavour type is used mainly in an imported Name's Provenance
-to say whether the name comes from a regular .hi file, or whether it comes
-from a hand-written .hi-boot file. This is important, because it has to be
-propagated. Suppose
-
- C.hs imports B
- B.hs imports A
- A.hs imports C {-# SOURCE -#} ( f )
-
-Then in A.hi we may mention C.f, in an inlining. When compiling B we *must not*
-read C.f's details from C.hi, even if the latter happens to exist from an earlier
-compilation run. So we use the name "C!f" in A.hi, and when looking for an interface
-file with details of C!f we look in C.hi-boot. The "!" stuff is recorded in the
-IfaceFlavour in the Name of C.f in A.
-
-Not particularly beautiful, but it works.
-
-\begin{code}
-data IfaceFlavour = HiFile -- The interface was read from a standard interface file
- | HiBootFile -- ... or from a handwritten "hi-boot" interface file
-
-instance Text IfaceFlavour where -- Just used in debug prints of lex tokens
- showsPrec n HiFile s = s
- showsPrec n HiBootFile s = "!" ++ s
