#14314: Consider changing CC detection strategy -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: bgamari | Owner: (none) Type: task | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.2.1 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: None/Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Currently we grep through the `$CC --version` output to identify the C compiler (see `FP_GCC_VERSION` in `aclocal.m4`). This is error prone (see Phab:D4069). Phyx suggests that we instead just rely on CPP macros. There is a handy list of these [[https://sourceforge.net/p/predef/wiki/Compilers/|here]]. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/14314 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
