#8029: batch-mode recompilation checking sometimes fails ------------------------------------------+--------------------------------- Reporter: jwlato | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.6.3 Keywords: recompilation, batch-mode | Os: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Failure: None/Unknown Difficulty: Unknown | Testcase: Blockedby: | Blocking: Related: | ------------------------------------------+--------------------------------- Changes (by simonpj): * difficulty: => Unknown Comment: I'm not sure what the problem is here. It is ''always'' true that if you have {{{ A.hs module A where import NonExistent }}} and you compile `A.hs` without first compiling `NonExistent.hs`, you'll elicit {{{ Failed to load interface for `Data.OtherList' }}} The `--make` mode says to make the dependencies first, but you aren't doing that. So GHC seems to be behaving precisely as advertised, no? Simon -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8029#comment:1 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
