#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 Phyx-): Indeed. I'm working on the PE support. There is some experimental code in binutils but this is virtually untested code. It was added by copying the elf implementation and modifying it. The ones who implemented it did not have access to a Windows machine apparently so it was committed as experimental so people could provide feedback. But very little useful feedback was provided afaik. tl;dr: We will probably be the ones putting this through extensive testing. And I do expect some issues. So I have reservations dropping `split-objs` for `8.2` unless we get this tested enough. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9832#comment:27 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
