#12517: Simplify runghc command line options -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: harendra | Owner: harendra Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.2.1 Component: None | Version: 8.0.1 Resolution: | Keywords: runghc Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Phab:D2940 Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by harendra): I find it rather unintuitive to embed the ghc flags between the program name and the program flags. It is simpler to say and understand: {{{ runghc [flags] [filename [program args]] }}} ghc options becomes just one of the flags which is easier to understand (IMO). I agree that using one "--ghc-options" for all ghc flags is more convenient. If that is acceptable, I can try to find existing code to be able to do that (i.e. handle the escaping). I am fine with the proposal process but I won't be able to drive that myself, though I can contribute to it. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12517#comment:17 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
