#12995: interpetBCO doesn't get stripped from executables -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: olsner | Owner: Type: task | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Runtime System | Version: 8.0.1 Resolution: | Keywords: footprint Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by rwbarton): We could add a new "dimension of RTS way" (like threaded, profiling and debug) for whether or not to include the interpreter. Note that this doesn't affect just ghc itself but also programs that use the ghc library. The burden on the end user to select the correct RTS flavor doesn't seem worthwhile if the only purpose is to generate a smaller executable. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12995#comment:3 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
