#3739: ghc-cabal mishandles relative paths in arguments -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: asuffield | Owner: Type: bug | Status: closed Priority: low | Milestone: 7.10.1 Component: Build | Version: System | Keywords: Resolution: invalid | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Operating System: | Difficulty: Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Blocked By: Type of failure: | Related Tickets: None/Unknown | Test Case: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Changes (by thomie): * status: new => closed * difficulty: => Unknown * resolution: => invalid Comment: `ghc-cabal` is currently only used when [wiki:Building/Architecture/Idiom/Cabal building] ghc (maybe that was different 5 years ago?), and ghc builds just fine, so I think we can close this issue. Also note that ghc's dependency on Cabal is planned to be removed altogether (#8244). The cabal user problem of `--package-db` not handling relative paths was fixed in https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/1307. See [https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/1542 cabal #1542], [https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/462 cabal #462] for related cabal issues. Please re-open if I'm misunderstanding the problem here. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/3739#comment:9> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

You need `-dynamic` also, to produce object files that can be linked dynamically. Yes, but igloo would know about that, so we should test if the issue from comment:3 is resolved. > Granted, the way that `-shared` and `-dynamic` interact with make mode is, at best, not obvious.

Even though the resulting encodings are slow, it does at least mean that we now support all of Window's code pages. What's more, since these codecs are basically only used for console output there probably won't be a huge volume of text to deal with in the common case, so speed is less of a worry. Note that we will still use GHC's faster table-based custom codec for supported SBCSs. }}} commit 802e99a51955bcf3ba830ec5209470ffef93581b {{{ Author: Max Bolingbroke <> Date: Tue Apr 23 19:15:02 2013 +0100 Add comprehensive test for codepage encodings+recovery for them }}} -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/3977#comment:20> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

#4347: Bug in unification of polymorphic and not-yet-polymorphic type -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: dolio | Owner: Type: bug | Status: closed Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.10.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 7.1 (Type checker) | Keywords: Resolution: wontfix | Architecture: x86_64 (amd64) Operating System: Linux | Difficulty: Unknown Type of failure: GHC | Blocked By: rejects valid program | Related Tickets: Test Case: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Changes (by simonpj): * status: new => closed * resolution: => wontfix Comment: Dolio is right here. I've backed off from making ANY claims about what GHC does or does not do for impredicative polymorphism. Really the language extension flag should be deprecated because it is not supported either by proper theory about what inference should do, or by an implementation of that theory. Whatever happens right now happens by luck. I'm sure there is a route to a better story for impredicativity; but it is complex territory and there has been much else to do. So yes I'll close this ticket Simon -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/4347#comment:16> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
