.ghci file is kept open while ghci is running
Given a .ghci
file in the current directory, when I start ghci
it loads that file. However, ghci
keeps that file open and locked while running. As a result, any attempts to edit the file give an error from my text editor of "Encountered a sharing violation while accessing .ghci".
The solution would be for ghci
to strictly read the .ghci
file before it starts, rather than leaving the handle to the file open.
Reported against 7, but it's been this way for a while. Could well be Windows specific.
