#9614: ghc --print-(gcc|ld)-linker-flags broken -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: rwbarton | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.8.3 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Unknown/Multiple | Difficulty: Unknown Type of failure: | Blocked By: None/Unknown | Related Tickets: Test Case: | Blocking: 9421 | Differential Revisions: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by rodlogic): Forgive my intrusion here, but this seems like another side effect of not having a true type-safe API between GHC and Cabal. We are bound to rely on test cases for things that, seems to me, could get a hand from a minimal set of types in a standalone package shared between Cabal and GHC. If kept to a minimum, this package should change as often as there is a real change in the API between GHC and Cabal and no more than that. If we had such API, this problem would either show up when trying to build GHC (if the above change was really a mistake) or show up when compiling Cabal since the API was changed to accommodate the changed flag. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9614#comment:4 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
