#89: Sharing of object files between executable builds? ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: bjorn@bringert.net | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Cabal-1.8 Component: Cabal library | Version: Severity: minor | Resolution: Keywords: | Difficulty: normal Ghcversion: 6.4.2 | Platform: Linux ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Comment (by EricKow): As requested by Duncan, I am noting here why this would be useful for the darcs team: we plan to introduce some sort of libcabal at some point, but without sharing object files we would have to recompile either 130+ modules between libdarcs and darcs. To make matters worse, we also have a make_authors and a preproc program which compiles our AUTHORS file and helps build our user manual respectively. We also used to have a make_changelog program. All of these programs re-use a good chunk of what will soon be libdarcs, so without proper sharing of object files, we would be compiling the same files at least 4 times.
