[GHC] #8785: Replace hooks API in the RTS with something better
#8785: Replace hooks API in the RTS with something better ------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: simonmar | Owner: simonmar Type: task | Status: new Priority: high | Milestone: 7.10.1 Component: Runtime System | Version: 7.6.3 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Type of failure: None/Unknown Difficulty: Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | ------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Hooks rely on static linking behaviour which doesn't always work: we have to disable -Bsymbolic for the RTS on Linux (see `compiler/main/SysTools.lhs`) and it apparently doesn't work at all on Mac (#8754). So instead of hooks we should be passing in information when we initialize the RTS, like we already do for some other things (`-rtsopts` etc.). -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8785> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
