#9832: Get rid of PERL dependency of `ghc-split` ---------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Reporter: hvr | Owner: Phyx- Type: task | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.2.1 Component: Driver | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: perl Operating System: Windows | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: #8405 | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | ---------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Comment (by olsner): Replying to [comment:24 dobenour]:
I think we can deprecate it on other systems too, except (possibly) OS X (which I believe bundles Perl with the OS).
I think GHC on OS X doesn't even support `-split-objs`, rather it uses the builtin subsections and `-dead_strip` linker flag, so that wouldn't be a blocker. It's just Windows support for split sections that we might want to wait for before we start ripping stuff out. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9832#comment:26 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
