#11755: Seed unsafeGlobalDynFlags with enough information to use ppr -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: bgamari | Owner: bgamari Type: task | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.10.3 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: None/Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- At the moment the pretty-printer isn't functional if used before `DynFlags` is initialized by `initGhcMonad`. In particular things like `pprPanic` aren't usable since `unsafeGlobalDynFlags` isn't yet initialized. This is quite annoying during development. It seems like it should be possible to seed `unsafeGlobalDynFlags` with some minimal `DynFlags`, presumably with rather verbose output (as this is presumably what you want when debugging a compiler crash early in startup). -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11755 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
