#703: all binaries built by ghc have executable stacks ----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- Reporter: duncan | Owner: ezyang Type: merge | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 6.6.1 Component: | Version: 7.6.3 Compiler (NCG) | Keywords: Resolution: | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Operating System: Linux | Difficulty: Moderate (less than a day) Type of failure: | Blocked By: None/Unknown | Related Tickets: Test Case: N/A | Blocking: | ----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- Comment (by ezyang): I haven't committed the patch yet, because I would prefer it if we could add a test to the testsuite which just checks if the stack is executable on a simple Haskell binary. Unfortunately, I can't think of a portable way to do this. When available, execstack is the easiest, but it's definitely not installed by default on most machines. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/703#comment:17 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
