#14335: Annotations aren't supported with -fexternal-interpreter -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: bgamari | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.6.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 8.2.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: T14335 Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by simonmar): Conclusion from offline discussion: * Probably not easy to make this work, because a lot of stuff would have to be serialized to be able to run the plugin in the external interpreter (Core, typechecker state, etc.) * We should document the limitation and emit a better error message * Possibly for the future: run the plugin with the internal interpreter while using the external interpreter for other things. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/14335#comment:13 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
