The only question then would be if evaluation of project/local .ghci files would be on or off by default. I would favour the former but that is just personal preference. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/14689> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

I never had a problem with this when using GHC 7.6. In GHC 7.8, the order of the c-sources in the cabal file now matters.

For example: {{#!hs module Test where import Data.Int number :: Int64 number = 2 ^ 10 - 3 }}} compiled using: {{{ ghc -O2 -keep-s-file -c test.hs }}} should result in an assembler file containing the constant `1021` but doesn't. However, if I change the above expression to: {{{ number = 1024 -3 }}} then the output assembler files does contain the value `1021`. I did a bit of a search and found some constant folding code in the `hoopl` library, but that doesn't seem to be what GHC actually uses. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12982> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
