Comment(by guest):
Duncan,
The ticket is marked hard and unsolved after 3 years. So, as an outsider
to Cabal development, I assume it is actually hard :)
Additionally, as a GHC user, I have this perspective:
Even if in the year 2023 using GHC 12.2.1 and Cabal 4.2, we no longer pass
C/C++/Ada/Obj-C files to GHC and do something fundamentally better, it
would still be nice to have this feature now under the assumption it is
low maintenance as it fills a need we have today. It would greatly
simplify the effort required to use Objective-C (and hence many native OSX
apis) with cabal built packages. Right now a LOT of extra work is
required and it's hard to reuse that work between packages.
