#8624: -ddump-splices-file -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: GregWeber | Owner: Type: feature | Status: patch request | Milestone: Priority: normal | Version: 7.6.3 Component: Compiler | Keywords: Resolution: | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Operating System: | Difficulty: Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Blocked By: Type of failure: | Related Tickets: None/Unknown | Test Case: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: | https://phabricator.haskell.org/D518| -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by GregWeber): It seems like you are thinking of this as another debugging dump flag? It isn't at all, it just uses the existing dump system for implementation convenience. It is designed to be always turned on (if desired) and produce output that can be checked into source control. This should not effect whether actual dump flags are sent to stdout or to a file. I think `-to-` was supposed to help distinguish between dumping to stdout or to a file, so it doesn't seem necessary for something that always creates a file. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8624#comment:22 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
