#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): I looks current binutils' linker scripts doesn't handle `rodata` sections at all, thus I believe we should patch binutils anyway. Regarding section namespace separator, indeed `gcc` on Windows generates `$` instead of `.`, and this, perhaps, would be correct to make GHC do the same thing, but even unpatched Windows bintuils have separate handling of `.text.*` sections for example. I suspect that this is because there exist another tools from GNU/Unix land, ported to Windows which also use `.` for section hierarchy handling. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11445#comment:20 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
