#13237: Extend TH with addModCStub -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: | Owner: facundo.dominguez | facundo.dominguez Type: feature request | Status: patch Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.2.1 Component: Template Haskell | Version: 8.0.1 Resolution: | Keywords: inline-c Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Phab:D3106 Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by nh2): I had an idea in mind on how we might do better for `addModCStub` than we can for `runIO`, but it depends on what GHC actually does with the C sources eventually (I don't know what it does): If GHC invokes a plain `gcc` or `cc` or `CC` or whatever, then all bets are off and we can't do better. But if it can separate the C preprocessor invocation and the C compiler invocation, then we could fully preprocess the C code (which expands all includes) and hash that into the interface file, allowing us to notice when included header files change. This is better than having to write that logic ourselves in TH based on `addDependentFile`, because one cannot in TH query what C preprocessor and flags GHC will invoke. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/13237#comment:14 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
