#9760: ghc -c 7.8 drops last char of file name if -osuf contains a dot -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: nh2 | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.8.4 Component: Build System | Version: 7.8.3 Keywords: | Operating System: Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Unknown/Multiple Difficulty: Moderate (less | Type of failure: than a day) | None/Unknown Blocked By: | Test Case: Related Tickets: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- I discovered that if I compile with `ghc -c -osuf .something Myfile.hs` where `Myfile.hs` contains TH and thus has to dynamically link in, say, `Other.hs`, I get the error that {{{ Myfile.hs:1:1: cannot find normal object file 'Othe.dyn_o` while linking an interpreted expression }}} So `Other` was wrongly made into `Othe`, dropping the last character. If I don't pass `-osuf .something`, or have it not have a dot, everything's fine. The trouble is that `-osuf .something` worked fine in GHC <= 7.6. So I believe this is a regression, or at least a very bad error message. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9760 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
