#12485: -package-db flags now need to be sorted by dependency order -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: niteria | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.0.2 Component: Package system | Version: 8.0.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): phab:D2450 Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by niteria): Thank you for your detailed response! I can't think of a better way of handling things, so I'm fine with just making it a bit more clear in the documentation. I didn't make the leap from understanding how shadowing is handled to how it impacts the expected order of `-package-db` flags. I shall make the test case not `expect_broken`, but expect the current behaviour. I believe it's useful to keep it. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12485#comment:11 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
