#8812: Make *_stub.c files available again ------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: ralphb | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.6.3 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Type of failure: None/Unknown Difficulty: Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | ------------------------------------+------------------------------------- In our project we would like to link Haskell functions into C++ code. In principle this works fine using FFI. An additional constraint, however, is that we need to generate and link the object files ourselves. Alas, ghc no longer keeps the *_stub.c files around. (And fishing for files in /tmp is not a viable solution.) I would like to propose an additional command line switch to keep *_stub.c files, as previous compiler versions did by default. (Note that there is an older, similar request #7463, but our use case is much broader than that and not limited to unregistered compilation.) -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8812 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
