#910: --make should have a -j flag for parallel building -------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Reporter: igloo | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: patch Priority: normal | Milestone: _|_ Component: Compiler | Version: 6.4.2 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Difficulty: Unknown Test Case: N/A | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Comment (by parcs): Thanks for reviewing! Thanks Simon. I will attempt to comment the changes more sufficiently, following the mentioned coding style. I will update the user manual as well. Ryan: I don't see where a stray exception could occur. The call to `parUpsweep_one` is already guarded by a `try`, and asynchronous exceptions are masked throughout the rest of the worker body. And the rest of the worker body doesn't seem to do anything that could throw an exception from within. So it seems to me that the exception handling is already fairly tight: a worker thread should always exit gracefully. I think. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/910#comment:25 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
