#7456: GHC API displays linker messages to stdout instead of via log_action ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: MikolajKonarski | Owner: duncan, MikolajKonarski Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Component: GHC API Version: 7.4.2 | Keywords: Os: Linux | Architecture: x86_64 (amd64) Failure: Other | Blockedby: Blocking: | Related: ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- At least in the LinkInMemory mode, GHC API displays linker messages, such as
{{{ Loading package ghc-prim ... linking ... done. Loading package integer-gmp ... linking ... done. }}} on stdout instead of using the log_action handler for them, just as for all the other kinds of messages. Moreover, I haven't found any way of suppressing these messages apart of setting verbosity=0, which turns off other important messages. I can see no GHC flags that does this and this linker does not accept any special linker flags. I don't know the policy about severity levels, but I suppose severity SevOutput could be fine for these messages, by similarity to "compiling M ... done." messages which have such severity. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7456> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler _______________________________________________ Glasgow-haskell-bugs mailing list Glasgow-haskell-bugs@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-bugs
