Hi Konstantine, thanks for the reply

I decide to use flags, but then the trouble is that I will need some mechanism to flag parts of the code, possibly using the CPP extension.

I wanted to know whether there is a better way. Also, does CPP allow checking cabal configure flags? The user-guide did not mention such usecases.

Hi Sumit,

Documentation clearly mentions it is related to API, so don't worry with executable and feel free to use the flags (still, depending on what are you doing, flags might not be the best solution).

Hi everybody,

I am looking for the correct way to provide additional functionality using cabal configure flags.
Even though the developer faq [1] says that it is not recommended, I don't see any downsides for an executable package.

Is it 'not recommended' even for executable packages? If not, then how can I do it?
