Language.Haskell.Exts.Annotated.Comments

This module processes comments along with an annotated AST, to be able to associate Haddock comments with the actual item they refer to.

Example:

let
 parse1Result :: ParseResult (Module SrcSpanInfo,[Comment])
 parse1Result =
   parseFileContentsWithComments
    (defaultParseMode { parseFilename = file })
     contents
 withC :: ParseResult (Module (SrcSpanInfo,[Comment]))
 withC = case parse1Result of
           ParseOk res         -> ParseOk $ associateHaddock res
           ParseFailed sloc msg -> ParseFailed sloc msg

In this code sample, parse1Result is what you get when you parse a file: a Module annotated wth SrcSpanInfo, and a list of comments After passing the result to associateHaddock, you get a Module annotated with both a SrcSpanInfo and the list of Comment related to the specific AST node.
