#4213: LLVM: Add support for TNTC to LLVM compiler suite -------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Reporter: dterei | Owner: dterei Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: low | Milestone: 7.6.2 Component: Compiler (LLVM) | Version: 6.13 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Difficulty: Unknown Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Comment (by altaic): Yikes, I'm definitely not suggesting mangling the object file! I'd like to be rid of manglers entirely. Replying to [comment:15 bgamari]:

In my opinion, it would be wise to avoid linking against LLVM.

Any particular reason? In my experience (which is probably much more limited than yours), getting upstream patches accepted is much more difficult, especially if there is a workaround. In addition, one of the main downsides of the LLVM backend is that compile time is much slower. Linking against LLVM would improve compilation time, make mangling unnecessary, and there may be other advantages as well. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/4213#comment:18 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
