#15051: -split-objs generates excessively many files on Windows ---------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Reporter: kanetw | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: highest | Milestone: 8.6.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 8.5 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Windows | Architecture: x86_64 (amd64) Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | ---------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Changes (by Phyx-): * priority: normal => highest Comment: Default builds are now broken. it's now generating over 18k worth of split markers, which means Windows builds don't finish in any reasonable amount of time. Does GHC prim really have over 18k worth of symbols now in a single module? Other platforms don't notice this because they use split-sections. Which we can't use on Windows due to a lack of a fast linking process and non-existent x86 implementation. *sigh* perhaps it's time to fix this. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/15051#comment:2 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
