#10951: HPC program has poor error reporting / strange CLI in general -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: mgsloan | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: low | Milestone: Component: Code Coverage | Version: 7.10.2 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Changes (by thomie): * cc: andygill@… (added) Comment: 1. yes 2. is it worth breaking backward compatibility here, after 1. is fixed? Maybe there are scripts in existence that make use of positional arguments. 3. seems like a less pressing need, but why not. This effectively folds `hpc combine` into `hpc report` and `hpc markup`, using a new `--tixfile` or so flag. Might be difficult to explain why `hpc sum` and `hpc combine` still exist after this. 4. maybe not needed anymore, now that `-hpcdir` takes absolute paths, but why not. 5. should be fixed, but please make changes as you see fit. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10951#comment:5 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
