#13366: addCStub doesn't allow control over compiler flags or source file file -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: bgamari | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: high | Milestone: 8.2.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 8.0.1 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: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Currently if you pass a C source file on the GHC command line you can control whether the compiler treats it as C or C++ via the it's extension: GCC will treat a file ending in `.c` as C, whereas `.cpp` is treated as C++. However, we currently have no means of controlling what language a stub added with in Template Haskell with `addCStub` will be treated as. Consequently it is currently impossible to compile a C++ source file with `addCStub` without using `-optc`. Moreover, you can't have mixed C/C++ stubs at all. It really seems like this interface should be amended to fix this before we release it in 8.2. Perhaps `addCStub` should accept both the source and a set of compiler flags which will be added to the usual flags (allowing one to pass `-x c++` to the compiler when compiling C++ files)? -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/13366 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
