Some minor quirks with today's ghc-4.00:
* fptools/ghc/rts/StgPrimFloat.c did not compile because of the redefiniton of
union ieee754_double, which is already defined in /usr/include/ieee754.h on
my Linux (libc5) box. Fix: rename ieee754_double to my_ieee754_double. This
works, but autoconf should better check for this.
* Word.lhs needs a little bit more heap for compilation:
diff -r fptools.orig/ghc/lib/exts/Makefile fptools/ghc/lib/exts/Makefile
43c43
< Word_HC_OPTS += -H12m
---
> Word_HC_OPTS += -H16m
* Remove some imports in PosixIO (PrelHandle does not export these):
diff -r fptools.orig/ghc/lib/posix/PosixIO.lhs
fptools/ghc/lib/posix/PosixIO.lhs
34c34
< import PrelHandle (readHandle, writeHandle, newHandle, getBMode__,
getHandleFd )
---
> import PrelHandle (newHandle, getBMode__, getHandleFd )
* fptools/distrib is missing. My quick hack: Use the one from 3.03.
* The stubs generated for the FFI include rtsdefs.h instead of Rts.h.
* The C compiler complains when using foreign exports:
/tmp/ghc17785.hc:242: macro `STK_CHK' used with too many (7) args
* GHC dies during the compilation of:
module Foo where
import GlaExts(Addr)
foreign export _ccall dynamic myBaz :: (Int -> IO Char) -> IO Addr
with the message:
panic! (the `impossible' happened):
applyTypeToArgs {-_ccall-}_ccall_ createAdjustor {dDT
0
dDU
(_litlit_ "dEc"
PrelAddr.Addr{-32,W-})}
Please report it as a compiler bug to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
* Bootstrapping does not work at all: The compilation of
fptools/ghc/compiler/utils/FastString.lhs
aborts with:
FastString.lhs:64: Module `PrelHandle' does not export `readHandle'
Alas, grepping through the whole fptools directory reveals no definition of
readHandle...
Apart from that, everything was OK... :-}
