#11293: Compiler plugins don't work with profiling -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: ezyang | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Profiling | Version: 7.11 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: None/Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Suppose I have a normally built compiler plugin, and I'd like to use it while building some profiled code. This doesn't work: (non-profiled) GHC searches for the profiled version of the plugin. This is wrong wrong wrong: plugin searches should be with respect to how GHC was compiled. (Test case: take the `plugins01` test and add `-prof` to it) Now that we have `-plugin-package`, it should be a simple matter to ensure that plugin lookups follow a different codepath, though I'm not sure how to figure out what GHC is built with; this should just be however TH does it. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11293 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
