#13828: Re-linking is not avoided when -dynamic is used -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: nh2 | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.0.2 (Linking) | 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 nh2): Note that this issue is not present when linking directly with `ghc --make`: {{{ $ ghc --make -isrc app/Main.hs [1 of 2] Compiling Mymodule ( src/Mymodule.hs, src/Mymodule.o ) [2 of 2] Compiling Main ( app/Main.hs, app/Main.o ) Linking app/Main ... $ ghc --make -isrc app/Main.hs $ }}} {{{ $ ghc --make -isrc app/Main.hs -dynamic [1 of 2] Compiling Mymodule ( src/Mymodule.hs, src/Mymodule.o ) [2 of 2] Compiling Main ( app/Main.hs, app/Main.o ) Linking app/Main ... $ ghc --make -isrc app/Main.hs -dynamic $ }}} Avoids relinking just fine. So I wonder what triggers it in the above case with cabal. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/13828#comment:2 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
