#9142: LLVM HEAD rejects aliases used by LLVM codegen -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: bgamari | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: high | Milestone: 7.10.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 7.8.2 Resolution: | Keywords: Differential Revisions: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: None/Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Test Case: Difficulty: Unknown | Blocking: 4213 Blocked By: | Related Tickets: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by bgamari): Never mind, of course that won't work: the extern symbols under this scheme would be pointing to non-existent `$alias` symbols. If we instead change the names of the definitions themselves and then allow the aliases to take the actual names, this plan might have a chance of working. Haven't yet thought about what this would require. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9142#comment:17 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
