#12891: Automate symbols inclusion in RtsSymbols.c from Rts.h -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: Phyx- | Owner: bgamari Type: task | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.6.1 Component: Build System | Version: 8.0.1 Resolution: | Keywords: newcomer Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: #12846 | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by Phyx-): Yeah, I think we indeed have a problem. `Rts.h` exposes symbols that are there so you can load the rts in another program and control it. These aren't needed by the runtime linker so I prefer not to have them in the symbol list. So I think you're right in that we can't really automate this. Not unless we add these symbols too, but that costs us a small amount of time at runtime for symbols that will likely never be used.. what do you think @bgamari? -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12891#comment:15 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
