This is needed whenever you try to make a program that's supposed to pass on all arguments, for example something like `ccache` or [https://github.com/fpco/pid1 pid1].

[GHC] #10424: Build path leaks into ABI hashes

#10424: Build path leaks into ABI hashes -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: nomeata | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.8.4 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: None/Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Blocked By: Test Case: | Related Tickets: Blocking: | Differential Revisions: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- The build path of GHC leaks into the ABI hashes, i.e. if you build GHC in /tmp/fooADDF and then in /tmp/fooSDFS, you get different ABI hashes. This is a serious problem for distributions, as it means that we cannot rebuild the GHC package without rebuilding all Haskell packages as well. The (or at least one) problem is include paths. We have {{{ include-dirs: /home/jojo/build/haskell/ghc/rts/dist/build /home/jojo/build/haskell/ghc/includes /home/jojo/build/haskell/ghc/includes/dist- derivedconstants/header }}} in `inplace/lib/package.conf.d/builtin_rts.conf`, so when running the preprocessor, GHC passes this full path to the preprocessor: {{{ /usr/bin/gcc -E -undef -traditional -DOPTIMISE_INTEGER_GCD_LCM -include libraries/base/dist-install/build/autogen/cabal_macros.h -I libraries/base /dist-install/build -I libraries/base/dist-install/build -I libraries/base /dist-install/build/autogen -I libraries/base/include -I /home/jojo/build/haskell/ghc/libraries/integer-gmp/include -I /home/jojo/build/haskell/ghc/rts/dist/build -I /home/jojo/build/haskell/ghc/includes -I /home/jojo/build/haskell/ghc/includes/dist-derivedconstants/header '-D__GLASGOW_HASKELL__=711' -include /home/jojo/build/haskell/ghc/includes/ghcversion.h '-Dlinux_BUILD_OS=1' '-Dx86_64_BUILD_ARCH=1' '-Dlinux_HOST_OS=1' '-Dx86_64_HOST_ARCH=1' '-D__GLASGOW_HASKELL_TH__=YES' '-D__SSE__=1' '-D__SSE2__=1' -x assembler- with-cpp libraries/base/System/Info.hs -o /tmp/ghc14804_0/ghc14804_1.hscpp }}} It then reads the included files from the `hscpp` file : {{{ $ grep home /tmp/ghc14830_0/ghc14830_1.hscpp # 1 "/home/jojo/build/haskell/ghc/includes/ghcversion.h" 1 # 1 "/home/jojo/build/haskell/ghc/includes/ghcplatform.h" 1 }}} and puts it into the interface, where it becomes part of the hash: {{{ $ ./inplace/bin/ghc-stage1 --show-iface ./libraries/base/dist- install/build/System/Info.hi |grep Dep addDependentFile "/home/jojo/build/haskell/ghc/includes/ghcplatform.h" addDependentFile "/home/jojo/build/haskell/ghc/includes/ghcversion.h" addDependentFile "libraries/base/dist- install/build/autogen/cabal_macros.h" addDependentFile "/usr/include/stdc-predef.h" }}} Clearly, the end result is undesirable (changing hashes due to path names) and actually useless, as the build path will not be there later anyways. I’m not sure what the best way to fix this is. Here are a few ideas: * Do not include the path of `addDependentFile` entries in the hash, but only the file hash. Should solve the ABI hash. * Use relative paths in `inplace/lib/package.conf.d/builtin_rts.conf`. Not sure what breaks. This bug appeared in 7.8.4 and is present in both 7.10 and current HEAD. Any other ideas? (Debian bugreport at http://bugs.debian.org/785282) -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10424> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

I propose adding the following function to `Data.List` for this: {{{ mapConsecutives :: (a -> a -> b) -> [a] -> [b] mapConsecutives _ [] = [] mapConsecutives f xs = zipWith f xs (tail xs) }}} Since it requires pattern matching, to separate the empty case, it is not practical to inline at each use site. Sidenote: A similar function `mapAdjacent` is available in the `utility- ht` library (with a partial implementation(!)) [1]. I realise that `Data.List` is often imported unqualified and hence additions may cause trouble. I would have raised this on the libraries mailing list first, but the guidelines for proposals pointed me here.
