Re: Linking in Dead Code

When compiled with "split objs" GHC makes it possible for the linker to do dead code stripping. Make sure your GHC has split-objs on. On Fri, May 13, 2011 at 4:04 AM, Guy wrote:

If only 1% of an imported module is used, GHC will link in the entire module. Are there any plans, or at least some ideas, to rectify this? One severe example of this is qtHaskell, where importing the top-level module causes glacial compile (actually link) times and huge executables. Strip can fix the executable size (why does GHC not do this automatically?), but linking remains a problem.
