This programme is intended to be used by any GHC developers working on
the AST and/or pretty printer by providing a way to check that using
exact print on the ParsedSource reproduces the original source.
Except for stripping trailing whitespace on lines, and discarding
tabs.
This utility is also intended to be used in tests, so that when new features are
added the ability to round-trip the AST via exact is tested.
Usage
In a test Makefile
$(CHECK_EXACT) "`'$(TEST_HC)' $(TEST_HC_OPTS) --print-libdir | tr -d '\r'`" FileToParse.hs
AZ: update the rest here
See examples in (REPO_HOME)/testsuite/tests/printer/Makefile
The utility generates the following files for ToBeTested.hs
- ToBeTested.ppr.hs : the ppr result
- ToBeTested.hs.ast : the AST of the original source
- ToBeTested.hs.ast.new : the AST of the re-parsed ppr source
