@hackage dump0.2.8

Dumps the names and values of expressions to ease debugging.

Example usage:

{-# LANGUAGE QuasiQuotes #-}

import Debug.Dump

main = print [d|a, a+1, map (+a) [1..3]|]
  where a = 2

which prints:

(a) = 2   (a+1) = 3       (map (+a) [1..3]) = [3,4,5]

by turnint this String

"a, a+1, map (+a) [1..3]"

into this expression

( "(a) = " ++ show (a)            ++ "\t  " ++
  "(a+1) = " ++ show (a + 1)      ++ "\t  " ++
  "(map (+a) [1..3]) = " ++ show (map (+ a) [1 .. 3])
)

QuickCheck

If you have any intermediate computation within a QuickCheck property, it can be useful to print a counterexample simply in case of failure

{-# LANGUAGE QuasiQuotes #-}

import Debug.Dump
import Test.QuickCheck

($>) = flip ($); infixl 0 $>

prop :: Float -> Property
prop n = n == 1 / (1 / n)
  $> counterexample [d|n, 1/n, 1/(1/n)|]

main = quickCheck prop

Which, when executed, will print something like this:

*** Failed! Falsifiable (after 15 tests and 133 shrinks):
1.7051912e-38
(n) = 1.7051912e-38   (1/n) = 5.864445e37   (1/(1/n)) = 1.7051913e-38

Isn't it nice to see the intermediate computations as well?
