#4210: LLVM: Dynamic Library Support -------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Reporter: dterei | Owner: dterei Type: feature request | Status: patch Priority: low | Milestone: 7.6.2 Component: Compiler (LLVM) | Version: 6.13 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: Runtime crash | Difficulty: Unknown Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Changes (by bgamari): * cc: bgamari@… (added) * status: new => patch Comment: I just sent this [http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/ghc- devs/2013-December/003531.html message] to the list characterizing the behavior of the NCG and LLVM backends in handling dynamic references. In short, the NCG and LLVM backends both handle intra-package references efficiently. That is, the branch I cited in comment 24 shouldn't be necessary. In this case, all we need is the fixes in this [https://github.com/bgamari/ghc/commits/llvm-dynamic branch] for functional dynamic linking with the LLVM backend. This has been tested on both x86_64 and ARM. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/4210#comment:25 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
