Re: How to use pprTrace ?

Thanks,It's pretty simple what I wanna print, I'm trying to familiarize myself with debugging GHC so I can get a general feel for how the whole thing works. Trying to use Debug.Trace.trace or Debug.Trace.traceStack, I now get the following error :       GHC [stage 1] compiler/stage2/build/Module.o-boot      ghc-stage1: panic! (the 'impossible' happened)      (GHC version 7.11.20150810 for x86_64-unknown-linux): v_unsafeGlobalDynFlags: not initialised  Omar Mefire, Le Samedi 15 août 2015 13h45, Edward Z. Yang a écrit : It is just as the message says: you can't use pprTrace too early in the execution of a GHC program.  It looks like you're trying to print something pretty simple, so why not try a plain old Debug.Trace trace?

Hi all,I'm trying to step through some ghc code.I am trying to use pprTrace ( for the first time ) and I keep getting an error when I use it :I've added it to the file ghc/Main.hs and the resulting code is this :        let argv1' = map (mkGeneralLocated "on the commandline") argv1       (argv2, staticFlagWarnings) <- pprTrace "argv1 prime" (ppr argv1') $ parseStaticFlags argv1' I want to examine the value of argv1'. After my modification, I go into the ghc/ folder and run : 'make'But doing this leads to an error when I try to run the program :       ghc-stage2: panic! (the 'impossible' happened)      (GHC version 7.11.20150810 for x86_64-unknown-linux): Static flags have not been initialised!          Please call GHC.parseStaticFlags early enough. What am I doing wrong ? Omar Mefire,
