#9176: GHC not generating dyn_hi files -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: heatsink | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.9 Resolution: | Keywords: dynamic Operating System: | Architecture: x86_64 (amd64) Unknown/Multiple | Difficulty: Unknown Type of failure: Other | Blocked By: Test Case: | Related Tickets: Blocking: | Differential Revisions: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by heatsink): Replying to [comment:9 thomie]: Thanks for reproducing this bug. That looks like what I experienced, except for the package not installing with HEAD. The "Bad interface file" message looks like it's refusing to install a package with inconsistent ABI hashes, which may be an improvement. I don't think anyone has worked out what properties are intended to hold for interface files, such as whether having mismatched ABI hashes is allowed. I brought this up on the mailing and got replies about a few use cases that should be supported. I's not clear to me what this means for the implementation. https://www.haskell.org/pipermail/ghc-devs/2014-June/005301.html https://www.haskell.org/pipermail/ghc-devs/2014-July/005475.html -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9176#comment:10 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
