#3615: GHCi doesn't allow the use of imported data contructors ------------------------------------+--------------------------- Reporter: blamario | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: _|_ Component: GHCi | Version: 6.10.4 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Linux | Architecture: x86 Type of failure: None/Unknown | Difficulty: Unknown Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: ------------------------------------+--------------------------- Changes (by rwbarton): * failure: => None/Unknown Comment: isaacdupree's first idea of keeping copies of every top-level definition in .o files sounds pretty reasonable to me, if bloat is the only concern. Unused definitions could still, in principle, be dropped from libraries or executables. If use of `-split-objs` becomes more widespread, or we move to a `-ffunction-sections`/`--gc-sections` sort of world (either of which would be nice to reduce executable bloat for other reasons), this might become more or less automatic. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/3615#comment:7 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
