#910: --make should have a -j flag for parallel building -------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Reporter: igloo | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: patch Priority: normal | Milestone: _|_ Component: Compiler | Version: 6.4.2 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Difficulty: Unknown Test Case: N/A | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Comment (by rrnewton): By the way, I've had various hard-to-pin-down problems with changing capabilities at runtime myself. Is it possible in this case to just disable the use of that feature for the initial release? That is, you would have to use +RTS -N to get real speedup. But, hey, it's kind of an advanced compilation feature anyway. In this scenario we could get a lot of testing experience with parallel builds without setNumCapabilities and then combine them when there is higher confidence. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/910#comment:35 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
