#8683: add "cpp program" and "cpp program options" to settings file -------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Reporter: carter | Owner: carter Type: feature request | Status: patch Priority: high | Milestone: 7.8.3 Component: Compiler | Version: 7.8.1-rc2 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Difficulty: Unknown Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: 9094 | Related Tickets: #8439 -------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Comment (by dagit): Mixing `clang` and `gcc` in the same build may lead to weird issues in some cases. I don't think it will be common, but it's something to watch out for. Imagine this scenario: You're making an FFI binding and `clang` and `gcc` use different definitions in their respective libraries. Or stranger yet, someone has written their library to behave differently depending on whether it's compiled with `clang` or `gcc` (let's hope no one does that). Thinking about this lead to realizing that cabal + hsc2hs exhibits a related problem: https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/1858 -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8683#comment:62 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
