#7620: Via-C unregisterised build fails for integer-simple --------------------------------------------------+------------------------- Reporter: singpolyma | Owner: Type: bug | Status: patch Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.7 Keywords: unregistered via-c integer-simple | Os: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Failure: Building GHC failed Difficulty: Unknown | Testcase: Blockedby: | Blocking: 7623 Related: | --------------------------------------------------+------------------------- Comment(by simonmar): The patch is a bit heavy-handed - the special case for negative offsets is not an optimisation, it's there to make the generated C easier to read, and it's pretty important (IMHO). It would be good to look into @igloo's concerns too while we're here. I'm also wondering why my unregisterised builds using `integer-simple` didn't run into this... -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7620#comment:11 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
