#8736: GHCi doesn't load .dyn_o files appropriately -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: thoughtpolice | Owner: thoughtpolice Type: bug | Status: new Priority: high | Milestone: 8.0.1 Component: GHCi | Version: 7.8.1-rc2 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: #9282 | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by duncan): I should point out (as in my dupe ticket #11118) that this causes `cabal repl` to never be able to load .o files for modules previously compiled, and that there is no sensible workaround that `cabal` can use. The only way to make it work, afaics, is to call ghc to build things twice, once for `-static` and once for `-dynamic` outputs. We don't want to do this since it'll almost double compile times compared to using `-dynamic-too`. So this is perhaps more important than spj realised (in #comment:4). -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8736#comment:18 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
