#8464: ghc -C crashes on Hello World ---------------------------------------+---------------------------------- Reporter: ygramoel | Owner: Type: bug | Status: closed Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.4.2 Resolution: invalid | Keywords: Operating System: Linux | Architecture: x86_64 (amd64) Type of failure: Compile-time crash | Difficulty: Unknown Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: ---------------------------------------+---------------------------------- Changes (by carter): * status: new => closed * resolution: => invalid Comment: the flag -C is only for unregisterized GHC builds, ie when you've built GHC using -f-viaC (-f-viaC is still used in GHC to support targets like PPC64 and other archs we don't have a native code gen for, like MIP i believe). It won't work with standard GHC builds on x86_64 that are registerized and use the native codegen. closing this for now. what was the goal of using -C ? -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8464#comment:1 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
