Modifying Emacs Inferior Haskell processes to enable CPP processing

问题

If we look at the source of The random package we have a file Random.hs. Because of CPP extensions one has to invoke ghci via the following command :

ghci -cpp Random.hs

Alternatively one can do :

ghci -cpp

and then from within ghci :

Prelude GOA> :load Random
[1 of 1] Compiling System.Random    ( Random.hs, interpreted )
Ok, modules loaded: System.Random.

If I use Emacs Inferior Haskell mode (Emacs/Inferior Haskell processes) and I have the source :

module Main where
import System.Random

gen = (random (mkStdGen 0)) :: (Bool,StdGen)

mymult :: Int -> Int
mymult x = 2 * x

main = do
  print $ mymult 5

then upon typing the emacs command :

C-c C-l

which is inferior-haskell-load-file, ghci is opened in a subwindow in emacs. However if from within this window I type load Random.hs then I get the error message :

*Main GOA> :load Random.hs

Random.hs:1:2: lexical error at character 'i'
Failed, modules loaded: none.

How can I load Random.hs taking into account cpp extensions? Or alternatively how do I modify haskell-mode/inf-haskell.el such that ghci is invoked with the -cpp option upon typing C-c C-l, so that the command :load Random.hs can be executed without error?

回答1:

The most reliable way is certainly to request CPP, along with other extensions, in the file header:

{-# LANGUAGE CPP         #-}

#if __GLASGOW_HASKELL__ >= 701
{-# LANGUAGE Trustworthy #-}
#endif

The random package only does this in the .cabal file.

The easiest way might be to simply turn CCP on permanently in all ghci sessions, by adding

:set -XCPP

to your ~/.ghci file.
