#7735: -fext-core doesn't generate .hcr when .o and .hi files are present ------------------------------------+--------------------------------------- Reporter: kmels | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Component: External Core Version: 7.6.2 | Keywords: Os: Linux | Architecture: x86_64 (amd64) Failure: GHC doesn't work at all | Blockedby: Blocking: | Related: ------------------------------------+--------------------------------------- Create a file inside a directory and compile it using -fext-core: {{{ cd /tmp/ mkdir dir echo "module Main where main = return ()" > dir/Main.hs ghc --make -fext-core dir/Main.hs [1 of 1] Compiling Main ( dir/Main.hs, dir/Main.o ) Linking dir/Main ... kmels@kmels-workstelle /tmp $ ls dir/ Main Main.hcr Main.hi Main.hs Main.o }}} If the .hcr file is deleted and our program is compiled again with -fext- core, no .hcr file will be generated: {{{ rm dir/Main.hcr ghc --make -fext-core dir/Main.hs ls dir/ Main Main.hi Main.hs Main.o }}} The file is generated if you 1. cd to dir/ and 2. ghc --make -fext-core Main.hs -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7735 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
