#7678: GHC should compile cleanly with clang ----------------------------------------+---------------------------------- Reporter: thoughtpolice | Owner: thoughtpolice Type: bug | Status: closed Priority: high | Milestone: 7.8.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 7.7 Resolution: fixed | Keywords: clang Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Type of failure: Building GHC failed | Unknown/Multiple Test Case: | Difficulty: Unknown Blocking: 7602 | Blocked By: | Related Tickets: ----------------------------------------+---------------------------------- Comment (by thoughtpolice): Clang does not 'support' traditional mode in the sense it does not completely mimmick GCC, because to do so would be insane. However, we can get by with it in the latest version of Clang HEAD. This bug is only for GHC HEAD. 7.6.3 simply will not work with Clang I'm afraid without hacking things. There are several very important changes that were needed in the source for *both* projects in order to make them compatible, so it's not surprising you have to do weird things to make it all work in some hacky way. All that said, I guess I'll have to bite the stupid bullet and get an ADC account since Apple likes to mess things up so much. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7678#comment:12 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
