#4520: startup code on Windows should use SetDllDirectory("") -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: duncan | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: closed Priority: low | Milestone: Component: Runtime System | Version: 7.0.1 Resolution: wontfix | Keywords: Operating System: Windows | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Changes (by Phyx-): * status: new => closed * resolution: => wontfix Comment: I believe the guidance is outdated and doesn't change anything at all. This guidance also predates UAC, which would prevent a non-admin user from writing to the current directory anyway. If the user has admin rights than very little can be done to stop interference. There are numerous other ways to accomplish the same thing without any extra effort. I don't think this change is worth the engineering effort. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/4520#comment:9 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
