ApiAnnotation

Synopsis

Documentation

getAnnotation :: ApiAnns -> SrcSpan -> AnnKeywordId -> [SrcSpan] Source

Retrieve a list of annotation SrcSpans based on the SrcSpan of the annotated AST element, and the known type of the annotation.

getAndRemoveAnnotation :: ApiAnns -> SrcSpan -> AnnKeywordId -> ([SrcSpan], ApiAnns) Source

Retrieve a list of annotation SrcSpans based on the SrcSpan of the annotated AST element, and the known type of the annotation. The list is removed from the annotations.

getAnnotationComments :: ApiAnns -> SrcSpan -> [Located AnnotationComment] Source

Retrieve the comments allocated to the current SrcSpan

Note: A given SrcSpan may appear in multiple AST elements, beware of duplicates

getAndRemoveAnnotationComments :: ApiAnns -> SrcSpan -> ([Located AnnotationComment], ApiAnns) Source

Retrieve the comments allocated to the current SrcSpan, and remove them from the annotations

data AnnKeywordId Source

API Annotations exist so that tools can perform source to source conversions of Haskell code. They are used to keep track of the various syntactic keywords that are not captured in the existing AST.

The annotations, together with original source comments are made available in the pm_annotations field of ParsedModule. Comments are only retained if Opt_KeepRawTokenStream is set in DynFlags before parsing.

The wiki page describing this feature is https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/ApiAnnotations

Note: in general the names of these are taken from the corresponding token, unless otherwise noted See note [Api annotations] above for details of the usage
