#2184: if findExecutable finds a file that matchs the argument, check if it is an executable -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: iago | Owner: leroux Type: bug | Status: patch Priority: lowest | Milestone: 7.6.2 Component: | Version: 6.8.2 libraries/directory | Keywords: findExecutable Resolution: | check executable Operating System: Linux | Architecture: x86 Type of failure: None/Unknown | Difficulty: Unknown Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by leroux): I've implemented findFiles, findFilesWith, and findExecutables as convenience functions. `findFilesWith` checks for existence and applies another boolean functions for filtering purposes (such as checking permission bits). `findFiles` and `findExecutables` are special cases of `findFilesWith`. `findFile` and `findExecutable` are now simply `listToMaybe` of `findFiles` and `findExecutables` respectively. I also took thoughtpolice's views on what a correct implementation is (fyi). attachment:0001-Fixes-2184-findExecutable-is-correctly- implemented-t.patch​ This ticket is ready for another review to be merged in. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/2184#comment:13 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
