#5987: Too many symbols in ghc package DLL -------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Reporter: igloo | Owner: thoughtpolice Type: bug | Status: new Priority: highest | Milestone: 7.8.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 7.5 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Difficulty: Unknown Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: 3658 | Related Tickets: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Comment (by Austin Seipp ): In [changeset:"9bb909bbcf280f137c7a379d05acf5bc21268e5b/ghc"]: {{{ #!CommitTicketReference repository="ghc" revision="9bb909bbcf280f137c7a379d05acf5bc21268e5b" Temporarily lower unfolding threshold on Windows This is a very temporary, very unsatisfactory hack to fix #5987 (for now.) The included comments essentially say it all: we lower the unfolding threshold to minimize some amount of exported symbols from the GHC stage2 DLL. I unfortunately had to lower it quite substantially for the dynamic stage2 build to pass. As of this writing, the DLL split between ghc.dll and ghc-0.dll is something like 26,000 vs 63,000 exported symbols, respectively. So we're still quite in danger of tripping it, but I think we will be OK at this exact moment.
