#15826: Allow registering (Source)Plugins through the GHC API -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: DanielG | Owner: DanielG Type: feature request | Status: new 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): D5278 Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by bgamari): Alright, I see the use-case here and it sounds reasonable. However, I agree that we need to make sure that recompilation checking works in a safe and predictable manner. Let's first try to specify what semantics we are looking for. Here is my guess: a. within a GHC session with a `LoadedPlugin` the plugin-module hash check should never trigger a recompilation but the plugin's `PluginRecompile` strategy should, of course, be able to trigger a rebuild b. build artifacts produced by a GHC session with a `LoadedPlugin` should never be used by another session Does this sound right, DanielG? -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/15826#comment:8 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
