#16253: Offer a shorthand for `--skip=_build/stage$n/compiler/.dependencies.mk` -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: sgraf | Owner: (none) Type: task | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Build System | Version: 8.6.3 (Hadrian) | 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 alpmestan): Self-note: the relevant code lives in https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/blob/master/compiler/main/DriverMkDepend..... The simplest approach is probably to refine that `GhcMode` to be either transitive or not. When transitive, we'd take the current code path, when not, we'd take the new one that just looks at and reports the immediate dependencies. The former would still be exposed under `-M` and the new one under some other flag (any suggestion is welcome). -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/16253#comment:16 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
