[Redirecting to GHC users, which is the right place for GHC related questions.] | Is there any way to specify at compile/link time default options for GHC | program +RTS options? No. This is a long-standing feature request. It makes perfect sense, but needs someone to design and implement it. So far not enough people have yelled loudly enough for us to do it. Any volunteers? Simon | <aside> | Why do I want this? I'm using GHC to write a program that will be used by | non-comp uting people to preprocess some data in conjunction with an 18Mb | database file. To load the database into a Data.Map value requires more | than GHC's default 256Mb of heap, and I'd like to increase the program's | default heap size, rather than telling users to use the +RTS -M100M option, | as its one less thing to get wrong. There are of course other possible | solutions, but in this case specifying a default heap size at compile time | seems to be the most natural. | </aside>
