#10821: Add a flag to avoid generation of .hi, .o, .dyn_* files -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: spinda | Owner: Type: feature | Status: new request | Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.10.2 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: None/Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Revisions: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- When running tests involving GHC (eg. when developing GHC plugins), it is cumbersome and frustrating to have to constantly clean up the .hi, .o, and .dyn_* files that GHC leaves behind. There should be a way to tell GHC not to generate these files at all, or if they're needed during the build process, to clean them up on its own once it's finished with them. (Apologies if this is a duplicate issue -- "hi" and "o" are difficult terms to search on the bug tracker.) -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10821 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
