-fno-code?

[Simon Peyton-Jones]

Ah... a mistake we re-jigging the top-level driver stuff recently.  I've
just fixed it.

If you want to add -ftypecheck-only or -fonly-typecheck, then by all
means do so.  Is suggest you do it by adding an extra constructor to
HscTarget.   Currently it has HscNothing to mean "omit code generation",
but you could replace that with HscTypecheck and HscNoCode.

This'll be useful for Visual Haskell too.  Indeed Simon and Krasimir may
have something like that already (perhaps not yet merged in).  I'm not
sure.  Simon's on paternity leave, but he'll be online occasionally.

| Hey,
| 
| Did -fno-code get disabled?
| 
| hs-plugins uses -fno-code to run the type checker at runtime (rather
than
| sending objects into /dev/null). Come to think of it, a -ftypecheck,
returning
| ExitFailure or Success would be neat. Would anyone object to me coding
this up?
