#910: --make should have a -j flag for parallel building -------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Reporter: igloo | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: patch Priority: normal | Milestone: _|_ Component: Compiler | Version: 6.4.2 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Difficulty: Unknown Test Case: N/A | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Comment (by nh2): This is great! It is probably out of the scope for the Gsoc, but I'd like to mention: When you have modules in your project that take a very long time to compile with many modules depending on them, it is useful to re-use information about how long each module took to compile the last time. This way we can build dependencies leading towards these "blocker modules" as early as possible. See our small discussion at: https://github.com/ndmitchell/ghc- make/issues/2#issuecomment-19467708 parcs, you probably have a good overview on how GHC builds things now. Do you think the current state would make it possible to save and re-use such timing information? -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/910#comment:29 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
