#13287: The runtime parses arguments past -- under windows but passes them on as arguments on linux -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: AndreasK | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Runtime | Version: 8.0.2 System | Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: Other Unknown/Multiple | Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Starting a executable like this: app -- arg1 +RTS -s -RTS arg2 Windows and Linux pass different arguments on to the application: * Windows: `["--","arg1","arg2"]` * Linux: `["--","arg1","+RTS","-s","-RTS","arg2"]` If we want uniform behavior we need to change one of these. Given the existence of the --RTS flag I'm not sure if the Linux behavior was intended however it matches the behavior you would expect in the *nix world nicely. Therefore changing the behavior on Windows would make more sense. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/13287 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
