Documentation

Perform a dependency analysis starting from the current targets and update the session with the new module graph.

Dependency analysis entails parsing the import directives and may therefore require running certain preprocessors.

Note that each ModSummary in the module graph caches its DynFlags. These DynFlags are determined by the current session DynFlags and the OPTIONS and LANGUAGE pragmas of the parsed module. Thus if you want to changes to the DynFlags to take effect you need to call this function again.

Try to load the program. See LoadHowMuch for the different modes.

This function implements the core of GHC's --make mode. It preprocesses, compiles and loads the specified modules, avoiding re-compilation wherever possible. Depending on the target (see hscTarget) compilating and loading may result in files being created on disk.

Calls the reportModuleCompilationResult callback after each compiling each module, whether successful or not.

Throw a SourceError if errors are encountered before the actual compilation starts (e.g., during dependency analysis). All other errors are reported using the callback.

Describes which modules of the module graph need to be loaded.

Topological sort of the module graph

Calculate SCCs of the module graph, possibly dropping the hi-boot nodes The resulting list of strongly-connected-components is in topologically sorted order, starting with the module(s) at the bottom of the dependency graph (ie compile them first) and ending with the ones at the top.

Drop hi-boot nodes (first boolean arg)?

• False: treat the hi-boot summaries as nodes of the graph, so the graph must be acyclic
• True: eliminate the hi-boot nodes, and instead pretend the a source-import of Foo is an import of Foo The resulting graph has no hi-boot nodes, but can be cyclic
