#15758: hsc2hs broken due to incorrect argument passing to the hsc2hs executable -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: osa1 | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by ckoparkar): I forgot to mention the Cabal bits in comment:3. In Cabal, the decision of whether or not to use response files for invoking {{{hsc2hs}}} is made based only on the version of {{{hsc2hs}}}. {{{#!haskell if hsc2hs_version >= 0.68.4 then use response files else regular command-line arguments }}} But we can have a {{{hsc2hs-0.68.4}}} that is compiled with GHC < 8.6, which won't support response file arguments. I think this is what's happening in the {{{regex-posix}}} example that osa1 posted. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/15758#comment:4 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
