Reproducing requires following steps: 1. Installing latest th-desugar library from github: {{{ git clone https://github.com/goldfirere/th-desugar.git cd th-desugar cabal install }}} 2.

Now you need to edit file `tests/compile-and- dump/Singletons/Star.hs` and uncomment `import Singletons.Star` line. It should be possible to reproduce the bug with: {{{ cd tests/compile-and-dump/ghc -package-name singletons-1.0 Singletons/Star.hs -i../../dist/build -c -XTemplateHaskell }}} It's important to run `make tests` first so that all interface files required by `Star.hs` are in place. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9032> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

[GHC] #9744: Make program name and project version configurable

#9744: Make program name and project version configurable -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: luite | Owner: luite Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.10.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 7.9 Keywords: | Operating System: Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Unknown/Multiple Difficulty: Unknown | Type of failure: Blocked By: | None/Unknown Related Tickets: | Test Case: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- GHC uses `cProjectVersion` in a few places and `ghc` is hardcoded as the program name. This is used for example for determining the location of the user package database (`getAppUserDataDirectory "ghc"`) and the names of dynamic libraries. I've been working around this for GHCJS, but it requires copying quite a bit of code. I have a patch that adds the program name and version to `Settings` that I'll submit once I've tested GHCJS with HEAD. My patch just allows these settings to be changed by GHC API clients. However, we could also make GHC itself read its own values from the `settings` file. This way we could add a version tag to a GHC installation without recompiling, keeping its packages and package databases separate from existing ones. Let me know if there's any interest in this and I'll add it to the patch. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9744> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

[GHC] #9751: add runMeta Hook or TcM variant of hscCompileCoreExprHook

#9751: add runMeta Hook or TcM variant of hscCompileCoreExprHook -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: luite | Owner: luite Type: task | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.10.1 Component: GHC API | Version: 7.8.3 Keywords: | Operating System: Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Unknown/Multiple Difficulty: Unknown | Type of failure: Blocked By: | None/Unknown Related Tickets: | Test Case: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- GHCJS has to jump through hoops to make annotations work and to get the necessary information for linking a TH splice. The main reason is that `hscCompileCoreExprHook` does not expose the `TcM` environment. Easiest fix would be to add {{{#!hs hscCompileCoreExprTcMHook :: HscEnv -> SrcSpan -> CoreExpr -> TcM HValue }}} to `Hooks`, but it'd be better to hook `runMeta` instead. Unfortunately `runMeta` is polymorphic, so it could be more tricky. I'm going to see if I can hook `runMeta` in a reasonable way, and if I run out of time for 7.10.1, send a patch with `hscCompileCoreExprTcMHook` instead. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9751> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

Because I can still write {{{"myheaderBLA.h myfunction"}}} and it doesn't care about the first word (no error, ever, not even in linking, executable builds all fine). ---- Relatedly, I can write {{{ foreign import ccall "some.rubbish" f :: IO ... }}} and as long as {{{"some.rubbish"}}} contains a dot, nothin in the system will ever complain. carter suggested that maybe names with a dot inside are ignored by a linker. This leads me to the question: In my example above, is {{{myheaderBLA.h}}} actually understood as some kind of file and ignored by e.g. GHC, or is it a garbled symbol name? In that case, why does http://www.haskell.org/onlinereport/haskell2010/haskellch8.html suggest {{{ccall "string.h strlen"}}}? In the other case, why would it suggest this if the {{{"string.h"}}} part is ignored? -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8650> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
