Hello, If I compile my source code two time I would like to get the same binary. But currently when I run echo "main = return ()" > c.hs && ghc -fforce-recomp c.hs && xxd c > c1.hex && ghc -fforce-recomp c.hs && xxd c > c2.hex && diff c1.hex c2.hex my output is [1 of 1] Compiling Main ( c.hs, c.o ) Linking c ... [1 of 1] Compiling Main ( c.hs, c.o ) Linking c ... 55494c55494 < 00d8c50: 7400 6768 6333 3130 3830 5f30 2e63 0073 t.ghc31080_0.c.s ---
00d8c50: 7400 6768 6333 3130 3935 5f30 2e63 0073 t.ghc31095_0.c.s
So why does the binary differ? Is there a way to compile with ghc and get the same binary? Even though only one byte differ, the checksum (sha,md5,..) is completely changed... I'm running Linux and ghc 7.6.3. Regards, Joakim
