ghci and source files

[Daniel Gorín]

Hi

If you just want to compile from (Eclipse) edit buffers instead of  
source files, I think you can do this with the ghc api. Look at the  
Target type.

The following is pasted from main/HscTypes.lhs

-- | A compilation target.
--
-- A target may be supplied with the actual text of the
-- module.  If so, use this instead of the file contents (this
-- is for use in an IDE where the file hasn't been saved by
-- the user yet).
data Target = Target TargetId (Maybe (StringBuffer,ClockTime))

Hope this helps

Daniel
