#9176: GHC not generating dyn_hi files ----------------------------------+---------------------------- Reporter: heatsink | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.9 Keywords: dynamic | Operating System: MacOS X Architecture: x86_64 (amd64) | Type of failure: Other Difficulty: Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | ----------------------------------+---------------------------- In some situations, GHC terminates successfully and generates a `dyn_o` file, but no `dyn_hi` file. As a result, a package that contains a library seems to build successfully, but fails to install. I narrowed the problem down to the following test case. I compile it with `ghc --make -shared -dynamic-too Foo`. It seems to be Parsec-related, but I don't know how to trace it further. {{{ module Foo where import Text.ParserCombinators.Parsec }}} Parsec was installed with `cabal install --reinstall --user --enable- shared --disable-library-profiling parsec-3.1.5`. Some Parsec modules do not cause the missing `dyn_hi` file. For instance, all output files are created if Foo imports `Text.Parsec.Pos` instead of `Text.ParserCombinators.Parsec`. GHC was built from source, commit 9e10963e394680dbb1b964c66cb428a2aa03df09, compiled by GHC 7.6.3 with XCode 5.1.1 on OS X 10.9.3. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9176 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
