#8734: 7.8.1 rc1 ghci won't load compiled files ------------------------------------------------+-------------------------- Reporter: George | Owner: Type: bug | Status: closed Priority: high | Milestone: 7.8.1 Component: GHCi | Version: Resolution: invalid | 7.8.1-rc1 Operating System: MacOS X | Keywords: Type of failure: Incorrect result at runtime | Architecture: Test Case: | Unknown/Multiple Blocking: | Difficulty: | Unknown | Blocked By: | Related Tickets: ------------------------------------------------+-------------------------- Changes (by thoughtpolice): * status: new => closed * resolution: => invalid Comment: Herbert is correct. This is by design - GHCi now loads dynamic object files, not static object files. But GHC itself still defaults to dynamic linking. However, there is still a bug here: GHCi doesn't handle `.dyn_o` correctly. I've filed #8736 for that. Thanks for the report. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8734#comment:3 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
