Language.Haskell.HLint

Description

WARNING: This module represents the old version of the HLint API. It will be deleted in favour of Language.Haskell.HLint3 in the next major version.

This module provides a library interface to HLint, strongly modelled on the command line interface.

Synopsis

hlint :: [String] -> IO [Suggestion]
data Suggestion
suggestionLocation :: Suggestion -> SrcLoc
suggestionSeverity :: Suggestion -> Severity
data Severity
- = Ignore
- | Suggestion
- | Warning
- | Error

Documentation

hlint :: [String] -> IO [Suggestion] Source #

This function takes a list of command line arguments, and returns the given suggestions. To see a list of arguments type hlint --help at the console. This function writes to the stdout/stderr streams, unless --quiet is specified.

As an example:

do hints <- hlint ["src", "--ignore=Use map","--quiet"]
   when (length hints > 3) $ error "Too many hints!"

data Suggestion Source #

A suggestion - the Show instance is of particular use.

suggestionLocation :: Suggestion -> SrcLoc Source #

From a suggestion, extract the file location it refers to.

suggestionSeverity :: Suggestion -> Severity Source #

From a suggestion, determine how severe it is.

data Severity Source #

How severe an issue is.

Constructors

Ignore	The issue has been explicitly ignored and will usually be hidden (pass `--show` on the command line to see ignored ideas).
Suggestion	Suggestions are things that some people may consider improvements, but some may not.
Warning	Warnings are suggestions that are nearly always a good idea to apply.
Error	Available as a setting for the user.
