#10728: Add e.g. "-N<=4" in addition to the fixed "-N4" and variable "-N" RTS options -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: rrnewton | Owner: MarcelineVQ Type: feature request | Status: closed Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.0.1 Component: Runtime System | Version: 7.10.2 Resolution: fixed | Keywords: newcomer Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: #9221, #8224 | Differential Rev(s): Phab:D1650, Wiki Page: | Phab:D1677 -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by MarcelineVQ): For me the feature is more important than the name so I don't mind changing to anything at all if people need it changed, I'll wait and see. Currently I'm looking into a rewrite for rts flag parsing so here's some additional considerations: * maxN may not end up having a weird overlap if parsing works differently * it could make sense to not have maxN added yet in case it's likely to change again in the semi-near future * conversely if there ends up being some flag changes anyway then a newer one changing isn't as big a deal -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10728#comment:24 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
