#12875: GHC fails to link all StaticPointers-defining modules of a library in an executable -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: bgamari | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.2.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 8.0.1 Resolution: | Keywords: | StaticPointers 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 facundo.dominguez): Perhaps it is possible to stop the linker from removing modules from the final executable when they use the `StaticPointers` language extension. That failing, the simplest solution could be to document that the module defining static pointers needs to be imported transitively into the main module of an executable supposed to find them. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12875#comment:3 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
