[GHC] #7859: runghc should give an error when the path to ghc is invalid

#7859: runghc should give an error when the path to ghc is invalid ----------------------------------------------+----------------------------- Reporter: monoidal | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Component: None Version: 7.6.3 | Keywords: Os: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Failure: Incorrect warning at compile-time | Blockedby: Blocking: | Related: ----------------------------------------------+----------------------------- runghc has a -f option which allows to specify the path to GHC. However, it uses `rawSystem` and if the path is incorrect, we only get a nonzero exit code. For example, attempting to use "ghc -fdefer-type-errors X.hs" gives absolutely no output. Attached patch uses `findExecutable` and gives an error message if the executable is not found. This is not the ideal solution, but I think it's better than the current state. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7859> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

The change is a useful cleanup in itself: the `PrimOps` correspond more closely to the `MachOps`, and it removes the need for special cases in the code generator. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/6135#comment:64> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

These results do show that it is possible to get a significant speedup, even with very simple functions. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/6135#comment:63> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

You'll be at MSR in person in a month, so let's do code review and commit then. Before we do: * We need to be clear about the codegen question that Simon M asked. It's not enough to work by coincidence. * Some performance numbers that show that there is a useful performance improvement would be welcome. After all, that is the whole point!

[GHC] #7958: 'Cannot continue after interface file error' during compilation

Running these commands: {{{ ghc Setup.lhs && \ ./Setup configure --user --enable-shared && \ ./Setup build && ./Setup install }}} gives me this error: {{{ Installing package test-framework-hunit-0.3.0 [1 of 1] Compiling Main ( Setup.lhs, Setup.o ) Linking Setup ...
