#14482: GHC -M mode fails to ensure that boot files are built before source files -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: bgamari | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.4.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 8.2.1 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: None/Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Imagine we have a module with a boot file. In general it is necessary to ensure that we compile the boot file *before* the source file to ensure that the `hi-boot` file exists when we go to typecheck the module (triggering the behavior observed in #14481). However, `ghc -M` doesn't guarantee this. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/14482 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
