#9457: hsc2hs breaks with `--cflag=-Werror` in cross-compilation mode -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: rwbarton | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: hsc2hs | Version: 7.9 Keywords: | Operating System: Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Unknown/Multiple Difficulty: Unknown | Type of failure: Blocked By: | None/Unknown Related Tickets: | Test Case: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- I would like to be able to do {{{ config_args='--target=i386-unknown-linux --with-gcc=i386-unknown-linux- gcc' ./validate }}} to validate a 32-bit GHC on a 64-bit Linux system. (I don't know why I have to specify `--with-gcc` in addition to `--target`; an unrelated mystery.) However `validate` sets `-Werror` and the C code that `hsc2hs` generates in cross-compilation mode is not always warning-free, e.g., {{{ Files.hsc: In function ‘_hsc2hs_test’: Files.hsc:81:14: error: variable ‘test_array’ set but not used [-Werror =unused-but-set-variable] cc1: all warnings being treated as errors }}} so `hsc2hs` draws incorrect conclusions from its tests. Either the `hsc2hs`-generated C code should be made (and kept) warning- free, or perhaps `hsc2hs` should append `-Wwarn` to the options that it passes to the C compiler. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9457 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
