Workaround: duplicate all the imported files and include a different copy in each side. Another workaround: package all the files imported in both sides. Surprisingly, duplicate references do not appear when the imported files are in a package. PD: plugins adds 18 MBytes!! to the size of the executable. I suppose that this is because the ghc library.
Yep. It's worth noting though: 1) this is true whether you go through hs-plugins or hint or raw GHC API. (Although Hint/raw API may be smaller - my Mueval binary is 13M total.) 2) You can shrink the binary a fair bit with 'strip' 3) Such binaries compress *very* well with utilities such as UPX. 4) This size may improve whenever dynamic libraries come and static linking is not the default. - -- gwern -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEAREKAAYFAklByaQACgkQvpDo5Pfl1oLlSwCfTxqZzT92ycKNjy1U3USbB53z p1QAnAg5TDO/bc38Uo0tvm7wh/jIVP+D =G6cI -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
