Wolfgang, if you have time, it would be great to braindump the
current status of dynamic linking and PIC onto the wiki. We already
have
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/DynamicLinking
Which is a page you wrote on the old Haskell wiki, but perhaps we
should have something in the Commenary about the implementation?
I have started
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Commentary/
PositionIndependentCode
It contains some implementation notes and a rather lengthy section
about how PIC & dynamic linking works on different platforms. Some
things are still missing completely, and it requires more info about
the implementation, but it's a start.
This is superb, thanks Wolfgang. I've only skimmed through it, but I'll read it
in detail later.
I haven't even started talking about the implications for the build
system, which is the area where I am most eager to have other people do
the hard work...
Yes, at some point we should have a discussion about what we want to support in
6.8 w.r.t. dynamic linking, and how best to integrate it into the build system
and installers. Feel free to kick this off when you're ready.
Cheers,
Simon
