#16253: Offer a shorthand for `--skip=_build/stage$n/compiler/.dependencies.mk` -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: sgraf | Owner: (none) Type: task | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Build System | Version: 8.6.3 (Hadrian) | 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: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Changes (by snowleopard): * cc: NeilMitchell (added) Comment: Speaking of the trade-off, perhaps, this is a nice use case for Shake's "batching" feature: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/shake-0.17.4/docs/Development- Shake.html#v:batch We could have a batching rule for dependency analysis: if multiple files need to be analysed, their analysis could be combined into a single GHC invocation. That would be quite cool. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/16253#comment:7 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
