#10320: -ddump-to-file should create empty dump files when there was nothing to dump -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: rwbarton | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: low | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.10.1 Keywords: newcomer | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: None/Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Blocked By: Test Case: | Related Tickets: Blocking: | Differential Revisions: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- For example, I ran with -ddump-rule-firings -ddump-to-file when there were no rule firings. GHC should have created an empty foo.dump-rule-firings file. (Instead it left the existing foo.dump-rule-firings from a previous run intact, which could have been misleading if I didn't already know that the most recent run had no rule firings.) -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10320 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
