Re: ANNOUNCE: GHC 7.10.1 Release Candidate 2

I have llvm 3.4.2. Not sure why I thought that was the supported version. Where would that be documented? There doesn't seem to be anything on this in https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/7.10.1-rc1/docs/html/users_guide/release-... There is lots of mail about llvm. I guess the following from Ben Gamari on 11/28 implies llvm 3.5. I couldn't find anything more definitive. Once I get a definitive answer I will try again assuming the answer is not 3.4.2 To summarize, * it seems like LLVM 3.4 chokes on the code produced by my 3.5 rework when the `$def` symbols are marked as internal * ARM is broken (again) due to a bug in the GHC calling convention implementation; an LLVM fix is waiting to be merged * I have code reworking TNTC for LLVM 3.6; unfortunately LLVM 3.6 support will likely need to wait until 7.12 * Austin's LLVM packaging proposal seems very much like the right way forward * Anticipating this proposal, I have started collecting [2] optimization passes Cheers, On Tue, Jan 27, 2015 at 9:52 PM, Carter Schonwald < carter.schonwald@gmail.com> wrote:

George, what version of llvm are you using? afaik, only llvm 3.5 is supported for 7.10 (though I could be wrong)

Has anybody successfully build and used this on the Mac on 10.10 using the latest XCode? While it is better than RC1 I am still seeing the following two issues:

- programs compiled with llvm fail at runtime with illegal instruction - calling main from the ghci inerpreter after loading compiled code results in - Prelude Main> main Too late for parseStaticFlags: call it before runGhc or runGhcT *** Exception: ExitFailure 1

Instead of solving the above, I'd be happy to switch to a Mac OS bindist and see if I have the same problems there. Do we have an ETA for a Mac OS bindist?

Thanks

We are pleased to announce the second release candidate for GHC 7.10.1:

https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/7.10.1-rc2/

This includes the source tarball and bindists for 64bit/32bit Linux and Windows. Binary builds for other platforms will be available shortly. (CentOS 6.5 binaries are not available at this time like they were for 7.8.x). These binaries and tarballs have an accompanying SHA256SUMS file signed by my GPG key id (0x3B58D86F).

We plan to make the 7.10.1 release sometime in February of 2015.

Please test as much as possible; bugs are much cheaper if we find them before the release!
