#13818: ANN pragmas and -static fails to compile if dynamic library unavailable -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: duog | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.2.1-rc2 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Description changed by duog: @@ -6,1 +6,1 @@ - $ echo "module Bug where {-# ANN module "just a string" #-}" > Bug.hs + $ echo "module Bug where {-# ANN module \"just a string\" #-}" > Bug.hs New description: A Haskell source file with an ANN pragma will fail to compile with -static if any packages do not have dynamic libraries installed.

Not sure which category is correct for Type of failure. -- -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/13818#comment:2 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
