#16253: Offer a shorthand for `--skip=_build/stage$n/compiler/.dependencies.mk` -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: sgraf | Owner: (none) Type: task | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Build System | Version: 8.6.3 (Hadrian) | 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: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by simonpj):
When working on a stage1 compiler, the slightest change in any of the files leads to rebuilding the dependency matrix, which takes 20-30s time. That makes for a very disruptive edit-compile cycle.
This is mysterious to me. I thought that part of the wonderfulness of Shake and early cut-off was that all this repeated work is not done. So why is that not working? -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/16253#comment:2 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
