#15967: can't build ghc on Mac with any level of dwarf for base library -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: carter | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: highest | Milestone: 8.6.3 Component: Compiler | Version: 8.6.2 (CodeGen) | Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by AndreasK):
we have no support for debugging information on Windows (which doesn't use DWARF)
I've got a lot of use out of DWARF/-g on windows. While windows centric tools don't support dwarf in general gdb does as does VTune. So having dwarf support on windows is far from useless. There are also tools to convert dwarf info into windows compatible formats but I haven't had a need to use these yet. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/15967#comment:5 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
