I notice that some of GHC's command-line parameters do not work from within the OPTIONS_GHC pragma (6.6.1 on Windows). I can see how that makes sense for some parameters like "--make", but what about "-i" and "-v"? Is this intentional or a bug?

Can't specify the include path: {-# OPTIONS_GHC -iMyDir #-}

Can't compile a single file in 'verbose' mode: {-# OPTIONS_GHC -v #-}

Thanks, Greg

It's quite intentional, and documented. http://haskell.org/ghc/dist/current/docs/users_guide/static-dynamic-flags.ht... (that said, more parameters are static than really should be, esp in older versions of GHC) Stefan
