#10161: GHC does not relink if we link against a new library with old timestamp -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: nh2 | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Driver | Version: 7.8.4 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: #10966 | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by ezyang): I think thomie is right and the base problem is the same: the way we decide to relink is if any of the inputs to the linker are newer than the executable. In the provided test case, both libraries are built before the initial link, so there's nothing newer. A workaround is to touch the library after you do an operation like this. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10161#comment:6 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
