GHC.SourceGen.Name

A string identifier which may be qualified to a particular module.

RdrNameStr wraps an OccNameStr and thus keeps track of whether it is a "constructor" or "variable" (e.g.: "Foo.Bar" vs "Foo.bar", respectively).

RdrNameStr is simililar in purpose to GHC's RdrName. However, unlike RdrName, RdrNameStr does not differentiate between the namespace of types and of values. Functions in this package that take a RdrNameStr as input will internally convert it to the proper namespace. (This approach makes it easier to implement an IsString instance without the context where a name would be used.)

For example:

fromString "A.B.c" == QualStr (fromString "A.B") (fromString "c")
fromString "c" == UnqualStr (fromString "c")

A string identifier referring to a name.

OccNameStr keeps track of whether it is a "constructor" or "variable" (e.g.: "Foo" vs "foo", respectively).

Converts a GHC OccName to an OccNameStr. Ignores whether the input came from the namespace of types or of values.

Converts from a GHC Name to an OccNameStr. Ignores whether the input came from the namespace of types or of values, as well as any other information about where the name came from.

A newtype wrapper around ModuleName which is an instance of IsString.
