#4825: DLLs not documented consistently
---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
Reporter: Orphi | Owner:

Os: Unknown/Multiple | Blocking:
Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Failure: None/Unknown
---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
Currently half of the GHC 7.0.1 User Guide claims that dynamic linking
works on Windows now, and the other half of the User Guide still claims
that it doesn't work.
That's the general problem. Now here is the hard data:
* Section 1.5.4: Correctly status that DLLs work now.
* Section 4.12 (top): Incorrectly claims that you can't build packages as
DLLs.
* Section 4.12.4: Describes how dynamic libraries are searched for, but
only for Unix and Mac OS. It mentions that Windows is the third
alternative, but omits actually describing it.
* Section 11.6 (top): Incorrectly claims that you can't build packages as
DLLs. (The rest of this section talks about building DLLs callable from
other languages, which is presumably still correct.)
I believe this list is complete, but I may be wrong.
