HscEnv is like Session, except that some of the fields are immutable. An HscEnv is used to compile a single module from plain Haskell source code (after preprocessing) to either C, assembly or C--. It's also used to store the dynamic linker state to allow for multiple linkers in the same address space. Things like the module graph don't change during a single compilation.

Historical note: "hsc" used to be the name of the compiler binary, when there was a separate driver and compiler. To compile a single module, the driver would invoke hsc on the source code... so nowadays we think of hsc as the layer of the compiler that deals with compiling a single module.

Constructors

Instances1ContainsDynFlags

Update the LogFlags of the Log in hsc_logger from the DynFlags in hsc_dflags. You need to call this when DynFlags are modified.

valuerunInteractiveHsc :: HscEnv -> Hsc a -> IO a
#

A variant of runHsc that switches in the DynFlags and Plugins from the InteractiveContext before running the Hsc computation.

valuehscInterp :: HscEnv -> Interp
#

Retrieve the target code interpreter

Fails if no target code interpreter is available

valuehptAllInstances :: HscEnv -> (InstEnv, [FamInst])
#

Find all the instance declarations (of classes and families) from the Home Package Table filtered by the provided predicate function. Used in tcRnImports, to select the instances that are in the transitive closure of imports from the currently compiled module.

valuediscardIC :: HscEnv -> HscEnv
#

Discard the contents of the InteractiveContext, but keep the DynFlags and the loaded plugins. It will also keep ic_int_print and ic_monad if their names are from external packages.
