#7843: GHC should be able to list all possible command line options ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: jstolarek | Owner: jstolarek Type: feature request | Status: patch Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Driver | Version: 7.6.2 Keywords: | Os: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Failure: None/Unknown Difficulty: Unknown | Testcase: Blockedby: | Blocking: Related: | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Comment(by jstolarek): Except for what Edward pointed out, another reason why I decided to filter out short flags is that almost all of them require additional parameter (e.g. -H1G), which cannot be auto-completed. If you think that `filter` is unnecessary than of course it can be removed. I'm also not sure if removing `filter` will not cause any glitches - I think that some of the short options might have been duplicated on the list, but I'm not sure of that. I can provide new patch tomorrow - at the moment I'm getting some unexpected compilation errors. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7843#comment:12 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
