data InteractiveContext Source #

Interactive context, recording information about the state of the context in which statements are executed in a GHCi session.

Constructors

InteractiveContext 

Fields

  • ic_dflags :: DynFlags

    The DynFlags used to evaluate interactive expressions and statements.

  • ic_mod_index :: Int

    Each GHCi stmt or declaration brings some new things into scope. We give them names like interactive:Ghci9.T, where the ic_index is the '9'. The ic_mod_index is incremented whenever we add something to ic_tythings See Note [The interactive package]

  • ic_imports :: [InteractiveImport]

    The GHCi top-level scope (ic_rn_gbl_env) is extended with these imports

    This field is only stored here so that the client can retrieve it with GHC.getContext. GHC itself doesn't use it, but does reset it to empty sometimes (such as before a GHC.load). The context is set with GHC.setContext.

  • ic_tythings :: [TyThing]

    TyThings defined by the user, in reverse order of definition (ie most recent at the front) See Note [ic_tythings]

  • ic_rn_gbl_env :: GlobalRdrEnv

    The cached GlobalRdrEnv, built by setContext and updated regularly It contains everything in scope at the command line, including everything in ic_tythings

  • ic_instances :: ([ClsInst], [FamInst])

    All instances and family instances created during this session. These are grabbed en masse after each update to be sure that proper overlapping is retained. That is, rather than re-check the overlapping each time we update the context, we just take the results from the instance code that already does that.

  • ic_fix_env :: FixityEnv

    Fixities declared in let statements

  • ic_default :: Maybe [Type]

    The current default types, set by a 'default' declaration

  • ic_resume :: [Resume]

    The stack of breakpoint contexts

  • ic_monad :: Name

    The monad that GHCi is executing in

  • ic_int_print :: Name

    The function that is used for printing results of expressions in ghci and -e mode.

  • ic_cwd :: Maybe FilePath

    virtual CWD of the program

  • ic_plugins :: ![LoadedPlugin]

    Cache of loaded plugins. We store them here to avoid having to load them everytime we switch to the interctive context.

data InteractiveImport Source #

Constructors

IIDecl (ImportDecl GhcPs)

Bring the exports of a particular module (filtered by an import decl) into scope

IIModule ModuleName

Bring into scope the entire top-level envt of of this module, including the things imported into it.

Defined in GHC.Runtime.Context

emptyInteractiveContext :: DynFlags -> InteractiveContext Source #

Constructs an empty InteractiveContext.

extendInteractiveContext :: InteractiveContext -> [TyThing] -> [ClsInst] -> [FamInst] -> Maybe [Type] -> FixityEnv -> InteractiveContext Source #

extendInteractiveContext is called with new TyThings recently defined to update the InteractiveContext to include them. Ids are easily removed when shadowed, but Classes and TyCons are not. Some work could be done to determine whether they are entirely shadowed, but as you could still have references to them (e.g. instances for classes or values of the type for TyCons), it's not clear whether removing them is even the appropriate behavior.

icExtendGblRdrEnv :: GlobalRdrEnv -> [TyThing] -> GlobalRdrEnv Source #

Add TyThings to the GlobalRdrEnv, earlier ones in the list shadowing later ones, and shadowing existing entries in the GlobalRdrEnv.

icInScopeTTs :: InteractiveContext -> [TyThing] Source #

This function returns the list of visible TyThings (useful for e.g. showBindings)

icPrintUnqual :: UnitEnv -> InteractiveContext -> PrintUnqualified Source #

Get the PrintUnqualified function based on the flags and this InteractiveContext
