[GHC] #10636: Clear up difference between `WayDyn` and `Opt_Static`
#10636: Clear up difference between `WayDyn` and `Opt_Static` -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: thomie | Owner: Type: task | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.10.1 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: None/Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Blocked By: Test Case: | Related Tickets: Blocking: | Differential Revisions: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- There are currently 2 different ways to test for a static or dynamic build: 1. Test if `WayDyn` is in `ways` 2. Test if `Opt_Static` is set Unless there's a use-case for setting `WayDyn`/`Opt_Static` inconsistently (if so, please add a `Note` somewhere), it should be possible to replace all queries of `Opt_Static` with an equivalent query of `WayDyn`. That would have prevented bug #8294. See the comments in Phab:D1017. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10636 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

I'm pretty sure it's a historical accident -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10636#comment:5 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
