Hi Simon,<div><br></div><div>Thanks for trying it out and thanks for the patch. I&#39;ve pushed it to HEAD.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Oct 25, 2011 at 11:37 AM, Simon Meier <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:iridcode@gmail.com">iridcode@gmail.com</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br>

<br>
* Is the &gt;= 1.9.2 interface the right interface? From the changelog, I<br>
would assume that it is already public and contains the test-suite<br>
support only.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Good question. You could either be asking</div><div><br></div><div>* what&#39;s the earliest version of Cabal that doesn&#39;t blow up when it sees a benchmark sections, or</div>

<div>* what&#39;s the earliest version of Cabal that can actually make use of the benchmark section.</div><div><br></div><div>Duncan, which one should be report in the guide? Seems like the latter.</div><div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">


* It would be cool to have a &#39;cabal bench&#39; command that builds and<br>
executes the benchmarks.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>There already is one, I just haven&#39;t documented it yet. It works just like &#39;cabal test&#39;. Example:</div><div><br></div><div>    cabal configure --enable-benchmarks</div>

<div>    cabal build</div><div>    cabal bench</div><div><br></div><div>See &#39;cabal help bench&#39; for a list of flags. Right now &#39;cabal bench&#39; and &#39;cabal test&#39; won&#39;t build the benchmarks/tests if they&#39;re not up to date. I don&#39;t quite remember the reason. I think it was technical. Duncan? Thomas?</div>
