#15826: Allow registering (Source)Plugins through the GHC API -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: DanielG | Owner: DanielG Type: feature request | Status: patch Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: GHC API | Version: 8.7 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Phab:D5278 Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Changes (by bgamari): * status: new => patch * differential: D5278 => Phab:D5278 Comment: Sigh, yes. `s/LoadedPlugin/StaticPlugin/` indeed.
If someone decides to use a plugin that changes the build output I don't see how the situation is any different for `StaticPlugin` compared to `LoadedPlugin`. If the plugin changes the build output it must suitably declare `pluginRecompile`.
The difference I was thinking of is that a compiler session using a `LoadedPlugin` will recompile if a different version of the plugin in used (see #15492). This is accounted for in `DsUsage.mkPluginUsage`. Looking more closely at this, I actually suspect this logic will ensure that the right thing happens. However, we would need a test to know for certain. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/15826#comment:10 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
