Additional arguments to the pre-processor can be passed in using the {{{-optF}}} option. These are fed to cmd on the command line after the
#8602: Wrong argument order to Haskell pre-processor (-F, -pgmF, -optF) -----------------------------------+--------------------------------------- Reporter: SimonHengel | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.8.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 7.7 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: Compile-time crash Unknown/Multiple | Test Case: Difficulty: Unknown | Blocking: Blocked By: | Related Tickets: | -----------------------------------+--------------------------------------- So far, and that is what is documented three standard input and output arguments. However, {{{GHC 7.7.20131026}}} passes additional arguments (specified with {{{-optF}}}) before the three standard arguments. Steps to reproduce: {{{ $ echo '{-# OPTIONS_GHC -F -pgmF ./foo.sh -optF bar #-}' > Foo.hs $ echo 'echo $*' > foo.sh $ chmod +x foo.sh $ ghci Foo.hs }}} Expected result: {{{Foo.hs Foo.hs /tmp/ghc16665_0/ghc16665_1.hspp bar}}} is printed to stdout Actual result: {{{bar Foo.hs Foo.hs /tmp/ghc16665_0/ghc16665_1.hspp}}} is printed to stdout -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8602 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
