#11445: Turn on SplitSections by default -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: ezyang | Owner: Type: task | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.2.1 Component: Build System | Version: 8.0.1-rc1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: 11285 Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Phab:D1800 Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by awson): If somebody wants to enjoy the benefits of `-split-sections` vs `-split- objs` (they are tremendous) '''immediately''', she has the following options: 1. I could try to put linker script patches to upstream `binutils`. Honestly, I don't want to bother with this ATM; 2. I could publish these patches for those interested to build their own `binutils`; 3. I could publish linker scripts which could be used with existing `binutils`. Since all options require (at least) to modify any existing build scripts, I believe that, perhaps, the option 3 might be the most welcomed one. OTOH, options 2 and 3 require more involvement than the first one. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11445#comment:12 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
