#9895: No -mtriple param being passed to opt/llc when cross compiling -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: erikd | Owner: erikd 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: Moderate (less | Type of failure: than a day) | None/Unknown Blocked By: | Test Case: Related Tickets: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Currently trying to build an x86_64-linu to arm64-linux cross-compiler. After fixing some code in `rts/StgCRun.c` i ran into an issue where ghc was calling `llc` and generating `x86_64` assembly instead of `aarch64` assembly. For now, I've hacked `compiler/main/SysTools.hs` to add `-mtriple=aarch64 -linux-gnu` to the `opt` and `llc` command lines and that allows me to get a bit further in the compile process. For cross-compiling, passing something like this `-mtriple=...` is pretty much mandatory. I suggest adding it by doing the following: * Add a `crossCompiling :: Bool` field to `DynFlags`. * Add the `-mtriple=...` string to the `sOpt_lo` and `sOpt_lc` fields of `Settings` when we are cross-compiling. * Possibly also store the triple string in the `Platform` struct.

One workaround would be to use external linkage for these `foo_info_itable$def` symbols, and then if desired (to reduce symbol table size), strip out any `.global bar$def` statements in the LLVM mangler...? -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9929> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

#9851: Hoopl library in GHC hides runWithFuel / version number clash -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: AndreasVoellmy | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: libraries/hoopl | Version: 7.8.3 Keywords: | Operating System: Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Unknown/Multiple Difficulty: Unknown | Type of failure: Other Blocked By: | Test Case: Related Tickets: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- The hoopl library on hackage exposes runWithFuel in Compiler.Hoopl. This function is used in the examples distributed with the library (in the testing directory). The version of hoopl distributed in GHC does not expose runWithFuel. Further, the version number of the GHC packaged hoopl is identical to the version number of the hoopl library on hackage. This is (1) confusing, since the haddock docs on hackage for the version in use on the system by default is not accurate, and (2) annoying, since you cannot get the version on hackage by just running a cabal install. Instead, you have to download the package, update the version number, and then cabal install. The fix seems to involve one or both of the following: (1) Bump the version number of hoopl on hackage. (2) Expose runWithFuel in the version distributed with GHC. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9851> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
