#15826: Allow registering (Source)Plugins through the GHC API -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: DanielG | Owner: DanielG Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: GHC API | Version: 8.7 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): D5278 Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by DanielG): I assume you mean `s/LoadedPlugin/StaticPlugin/` above? My patch doesn't change anything about how `LoadedPlugin`s are handled. Indeed since `StaticPlugin` doesn't have an associated `ModIface` only the `PluginRecompile` field can influence recompilation and that's intended. As for build products: right now I only intend to use plugins that extract information while GHC is compiling and not change anything. If someone decides to use a plugin that changes the build output I don't see how the situation is any different for `StaticPlugin` compared to `LoadedPlugin`. If the plugin changes the build output it must sutably declare `pluginRecompile`. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/15826#comment:9 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
