#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): Scripts attached do section merging on Windows. Caveat: As far as I remember, when I worked on this (almost year ago) `cabal` (or was it GHC?) didn't respect linker flags when building library's prelinked object file (for GHCi). I may be wrong or `cabal` may be changed since that time, but if you will try to use attached linker scripts with existing binutils, please make sure `ld` receives the option, feeding the linker script to it. If this problem is still there, please ask `cabal` (or GHC?) maintainers to fix it. Also it may be a problem that we need use different linker scripts for different scenarios: "x" for building executables/dlls and "xr" for building prelinked object files. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11445#comment:17 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
