Along the lines of making GHCi better it would be very nice if we could use SDL, OpenGL etc in GHCi.

Is there a characterization of the libraries that we can't use in ghci?

As you know this has been a problem for years. Is there an open bug about it?

I know there was some hope that dynamic linking in 7.8.3 would fix this. What has been your experience?

For some reason I get mail to ghc-devs but can't send mail to the mailing list.

Thanks

George

For years I’ve been using GHCi as a base and it’s been very reliable
for almost every project I’ve done (the only exceptions are things
like SDL and OpenGL, which are well known to be difficult to load in
GHCi, at least on Linux). I think we’ve built up
a good set of functionality
purely based on asking GHCi things and getting it to do things.
